Best Turret Reloading Press?
OSOK,
I used a Rockchucker for many years and last year decided to get a turret press. I got the new Lee 4 holer from Midway. I know that lots of guys don't like Lee and won't use them but I have never got anything from them that didn't work as advertised. The Lee Turret press is no exception.
I load my 44 mag and 22 Hornet, both for compitition shooting with the new Lee press. The extra turrets are less than ten bucks and interchange easily. Since I got the press I have loaded probably 3000 rounds through it and still feels new.
Downsides are, I didn't like the primer seating tool that came with the press, but I use a Lee Auto Prime anyway so I probable wouldn't use the tool anyway. The other thing is probably going to be a problem with all turret presses. I use a powder through expanding die and have missed putting powder in a few rounds. It is real inconvient when shooting a timed event to get a bullet stuck in the barrel and have to get a rod and knock it out and still try to get done in time. I need to get a better method to insure I get powder in each case.
