Lee Classic Turret Calibration

[Wrbjr]

I just don't get the calibration instructions for the timing on my Turret. It over travels by about 1/8 inch. I have been rotating it back manually clockwise so I can keep loading. I just put a new "bushing" in it to be safe although the original one didn't look too bad. Actually it only over travels on one station... and that is the first station after finishing a cycle. When I go to size and deprime I find the die overstroked approx 1/8 inch.

Anybody out there able to help me figure out the instructions?

Ahhhh.... I see how it's done now. Thanks for the quick answers. I will limp along for another 15 rounds then re-time it.

Yep.... back to being right on the money!

My wife was watching me do this adjustment....and commented that reloading equipment is pretty old school (in a very good way).... no matter what happens with electricity one can still reload. :-P

Glad you are up and running again.

Once set, I took wifes nail polish and put a dot on the top housing and on the side of turret so that I can see the Red Dots line up when the turret moves with each cycle of the press handle.

I put a dot on each of the 4 holes of the turret. Just a quick reference and keeps me knowing things are lined up.

Nice idea... will have to try that one.
