Comparing Lee 4 Hole Presses

[txbirdman]

I recently started using the Lee Classic and really like it. Not everyone can afford ( or needs ) a $2000 progressive press setup.

I agree. I like it for the ability to set up your dies in separate tool heads and switch from caliber to caliber in seconds. I keep my dies mounted on their individual tool heads in plastic coffee containers w labeled. Once set up you almost never have to change them again except for seating depth on varying bullets. Also with the auto index you can achieve about half the speed of a full blown progressive,which ain’t too bad, without the caliber change over time.

I have had the classic turret for well over a decade now. It is built plenty strong and any case you can get in the throat doesn't stress it in the least. Big 30 cal rifle is a piece of cake. It sits right in the middle between a SS and full progressive as far as speed if that is a thing for a person. I almost never use my 650 because the Lee is more than enough unless you really do a lot of shooting like pistol comps.
