This is the cats meow IMO.

Anyone else have one?

That looks really slick. Too bad I recently bought another single stage strictly for decapping and flaring...

[pworley1]

No loading each shell, no primers all over the floor, Where is the fun in that?

[BigAlofPa.]

LOL i wont miss loading on case at a time. The primers i catch now with my classic breech lock. I used to do them on a C-shaped press. That was more messy. Im looking forward to the new one. I been busy collocting brass durning the ''plandemic''. I have alot to process still.

[Wisest.fool]

now i find this after decapping 8000 rounds of 223......

[Winger Ed.]

Not for me.
With one of those, I'd get done too fast and have to go back in the house.

The App is unique , I bought mine primarily for de-capping.
The controlled feed works well enough that I use the 45 colt shell holder for just about everything from 32s to 45s

Mine came this week, I've not had the chance to do anything with it yet.

Hi Big Al,
There are a couple of other threads that cover this pretty well. Some good reading there that will give you some ideas on what else you can do with your new press. BTW, I have on and I love it.

Yes. Very versatile and useful. Easy to set up and adjust for different tasks. Must be a mechanical genius at Lee.

What I find impressive is the number of tweaks that folks have come up with, and this on an already very versatile press that has only been available for a few months.

When I grow up and get “rich and famous” I might just have to get one of those!

Thanks for the links Ed. My press will be delivered Saturday. Im looking forward to it.

[georgerkahn]

I also thank you for the link! I have a dedicated decapping station on a cart with my wet tumbling gear in garage -- and I anticipate that when this new "cat's meow" replacement arrives from MidwayUSA -- it will really increase my speed of decapping, as well as enabling my moving the single stage press now there to my den for other purposes. Thanks again!

My de- and re- capper station has long been two little Lee "Reloader" presses mounted side by side (about 2" apart). One press has a Lee Universal decap die and the other has an old Lee Auto-Prime II; I love that primer handling system!

[BlackRat]

I use mine to size my cast boolits after coating with Hi-Tek. The app makes short work of it!

[mattw]

Been on the fence, it is Lee after all. But, I ordered one today!

[gpidaho]

Mine was delivered last week. It's a useful press for sizing bullets and decapping brass. I think the way they come as the deluxe model that they are somewhat fiddley. With just the single tube I don't see the time savings over just feeding it manually one at a time. I just got the four tube upgrade with the case collator delivered yesterday and that's a big plus when loading the tubes when decapping brass but the instructions say "This feeder will not work for bullet feeding" Bummer. If I knew then what I know now, I'd just buy the basic press because as mentioned above it takes as much time to fill the tube as it would to just feed the press and you would avoid all the little feed hic-ups. I do like the bottom drop feature and you can set the press up using the regular Lee push through size dies and dropping the bullets in to the die nose first is a little faster than balancing them on the post. Did I NEED it, No. I already had good tooling to do what this press does but, it is kind of fun. Gp

[Teddy (punchie)]

Interesting Thanks.

"This feeder will not work for bullet feeding" Bummer.

No, the four-way won't work for bullets with the 9/16" OD tubing it comes with......but nothing says you can't drop smaller OD tubing inside......then it works. Much of the Lee Thinwall tubing available (another Lee company) can telescope inside the next larger size. Use to be it all did, but their quality control has gone down hill.

That said, I have no problem sliding 1/2" OD tubing inside the 9/16" and the 7/16" inside the 1/2"....drilling a tiny hole through the outer tube allows you to drop super glue to glue them together if you so desire........of course that means you would buy extra 9/16 tubing and use the extra to cut shorter ones to go into the 4-way....then telescope to handle bullets.

For example: I cut one 9/16 into 4 short ones 3" long. The push one of them over a 3' long 1/2" tube to flush at the bottom....glue together....repeat 3 more times and you have a four-way that can feed .45 bullets just fine.

Or cut four 3" long 9/16" ones and four 3" long 1/2" ones and then slide a 7/16" one inside the other two to handle 30 caliber. etc.
