The discontinued Lyman All American Turret press is one of the smoothest and best operating turret press I have used. I think of it as a poor man's Hollywood press.
I have two of them, one of which is set up for short 45s, i.e. 45 ACP, 45 Cowboy and 45 Auto Rim. All I have to do is change the shell holders. The other is set up for 45 Colt.
There was a fellow on Ebay selling an NIB Lyman AA turret press including the shell holder adapter for RCBS etc. shell holders and a new special priming punch for use with these adapter. It was not selling because it was listed as a "shotgun reloading press". Knowing these were not made as a shotgun press, although early ones had one station for big shotgun dies, with an adapter installed down to regular 7/8 X14 dies, I bought the press.
The press came today and sure enough it has never been used or had a die screwed into the turret. All of the paper work is with it and the adapter and primer punch have not been opened. The price was $109.00 plus shipping which came to a total of $135.00. I feel this to be a very good price for what I got.
Someday I will set it up for 44 Magnum but until then it will live on a shelf in my shop.
