Default RE: LEE PRESS

I have a classic cast turret and love it. it reloads relatively fast, and much faster than you could ever hope to do on a single stage. I use a Lee autodisc Pro for a powder measure. I've probably reloaded 700 6.5x55 30-06 and 8x57 cast loads on my press so far in the last 4 months since I got it. The only drawback is a lack of a powder measure actuator if you wanted to use a Lee Perfect measure or a measure like a RCBS Uniflow, but I've been told by a Lee employee that they are working on something to allow automatic charging of full charge rifles loads. For pistol loads,its very easy- use a lee powder-through expander die with the Lee Autodisc pro.

My only complaints is that my safety prime sometimes flings a live primer across the room instead of dropping it in the priming arm, and the dies are mounted so close together that RCBS locking rings don't always work- if the screws are sticking out during adjustment, they bump into their neighbors locking ring. Lee locking rings are better for the application anyhow.
