I don’t know if this is typical for Lee or what because this is the first time I have ever purchased Lee stuff in 20 yrs and so far from my experience they seem to be of decent material quality but...

Yes I used clean brass, I always clean my brass before running thru the resize die, even new brass gets the same treatment before ever going near my dies. I put the die into my Rockwell lathe and...

Hey fellas, die anyone else have a resizing die from Lee that scratches the heck out of the neck of your brass??? I bought a set of Lee ultimate 4 die set for 308 Winchester and the resizing die must...

I snagged an old Redding a few years back that is oil dampened and is made like a tank. I got it for cheap and it appeared to have never been used or was slightly used. This is one I would still buy...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I recently had the same thought of how accurate my charge master was compared to my Redding beam scale. Mine stays within in +_ .1 tenth of a grain. Still that’s a possibility of up to .2 tenths...

I have used mine for almost 13 years now. It’s been nothing but awesome, however I have read of other that encounter issues. I guess it’s just luck if the draw when buying anything nowadays. That’s...

I always de-cap all my brass, tumble in steel pin with about 2tbs dawn and a dash of Lemi shine for 2 hours. Cases come out looking BETTER than new. I even tumble new cases for this reason. Then they...

Nice!!! I plan to do some experiments to see what kind of quality ammo I can make with it compared to my LNL. If it passes, it may become my go to press.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I will, it’s main purpose was handgun ammo but I think it will be loading my .308 Sr10.

Success!!! I received my new Lee turret ring and it works great. All the turrets turn nice and smooth. I noticed that the new ring is machined all the way around the lugs on the bottom unlike my old...

I don’t know I haven’t tried any other brand besides 2 lee shell holders and between 8-12 Hornady ones.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
No big deal I’ll just chuck it up and turn a few thou off.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I bought 6 spares just in case that would happen.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I checked all my shell holders I have and only 1 doesn’t fit. Prob just a bad one, it was from Hornady.

Well I called lee today and I have to say I was impressed with their customer service. A nice gentleman took my call and they believe I got a bad turret ring, there sending me a new one free of...

I just watched a few videos and most seem like the rotate pretty smooth, mine is ok but not like the others if seen. I tried putting my magnetic base and DTI on the ram and there is only 0.005 of ram...

I just want to use the darn thing, I have 9mm, 38spl, and a 308 I’d like to try on it. Nothing more frustrating than buying something that’s doomed from the get go.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
1hole, I agree. I was self taught by trail and error over the years and my equipment tends to grow with me and I can see what “new” and shiny equipment that is offered now to new reloaders as the...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
You know I sat behind my LCT and worked the ram up and down slowly and can see the indexing rod tilting to the right as the ram moves closer to the turret. Now I don’t know if is suppose to be like...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yes the ring isn’t machined all the way around. Also looks like yours lug that retains the detent ball isn’t as thick as mine, could just be the way the pic looks though.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Easily actually, doesn’t take much mis-machining on the shell holder to leave a gap. However, I also agree also it is the shell holder in the ram because they all slide right in my LNL press. In...

Found something interesting on the turret ring while messing with the press today. While I was checking the fit of the turrets I noticed that the front right side pulled up higher than the left rear...
Forum: Reloading Equipment
I have both, they look the same but they have different designs. The ACP doesn’t have shell holders and has a cut out in the back plate for the primer shoot to pass through.
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yea it’s either the turrets, which I suspect or the turret ring on the press. The shell holder is prob a minimum spec aswell. There are a few complaints on the net about it the shell holder causing...
