New Lyman presses sneak peak.

[Ziptar]

Just got this email from Lyman.

Glad to see orange is back, never liked the black hammerite finish.

They are giving me deja vu though. I've seen those presses before. What am I thinking of? Herter's maybe?

I don't think I'll give up my old T-Mag and Orange Crusher but, I'm interested in checking those new ones out.

That Turret Press looks interesting. well then... Off to their website!

[flashhole]

I did not see anything on their website. If someone finds something please post the link. I like the looks of the turret press. Similar to the Redding T7.

I found more pictures and info (well.... actually Google found them... ) That's it though, not allot out there.

I see the dump cups on the single stage, where to spent primers go in that turret?

Seeing the hole in the side it looks like a dump cup like on the single stage with priming system but not installed?

there is no provision for a tiebar on either the C press or the turret... About what you'd expect when an advertising agency designs a press........probably wrote the spiel first........and ....cast iron dont forge...it breaks into pieces.

I wonder what is they have to hold the top of the T press plate in place, I wonder if it is like the old one that I have that is a bolt that if it get broken will need to have someone make one for you because Lyman dose not have that replacement bolt that I know of. I do all my sizen and depriming on a single stage press that I got used that is Hornady .Also use it to do some loading with also.

[Jack Stanley]

Anyone know who is making these for Lyman ?

That 8 station press looks interesting to me anyone have anymore info; I can't find a thing about it.

[maxreloader]

The turret looks like a Herters Super 3 had a baby with a Redding T7.

[flashhole]

max you need a new hobby.

[copdills]

looks great my first press was an old lyman orange press

If the C links on the Brass Smith C frame are cast iron then they will break under heavy use. If machined steel they should stand up reasonably well.

Lyman has them on the website now. The Single Stage and the Turret are "Out of stock" but the c-frame is available "Is temporarily out of stock but available for back order". Sounds like the SS and Turret aren't shipping from the factory just yet.


That turret sure is interesting, I might just be tempted to swap out the old T-Mag after all.

It will be interesting to read the first reviews. I'm especially interested in a side-by-side comparison Lyman 8 to Redding 7.
