Anybody like or dislike? I think I'm going to get one. Have a Dillon 450 I use for pistol ammo but have never reloaded bottleneck rifle cases before. This year I'm loading for 2 different calibers. Looks like better than a progressive for learning and easier than a single stage but only because you can set the dies up and then use a different turret for different calibers like the newer higher numbered Dillons. | ||

I like it, but it's really best for pistol cartridges. It doesn't speed rifle cartridge loading much as you need to remove the automatic turning feature. If you need to load accurate rifle cartridges there really is no quick way to do it. You've got to carefully prepare the case, charge and the way the bullet is seated. ______________________________ DT | |||

I have one that I've been using for over 20 years and they are serviceable units. They have a lot of vertical slop in the turret head so you have to be careful with your die set up. I have a couple of Lyman turret presses that I like a lot better. One thing that I like about turret presses is because the head can move a little laterly they tend to center the dies on the cases and not cause a lot of case runout. Over on the Benchrest Central website they had a great discussion about building presses which allowed the dies to float and align themselves with the case necks and as long as the cases were straight with minimal runout the loaded rounds tended to come out straighter than when reloaded with production reloading presses and dies.

I have a Lee Turret press and love it. Yes there is some looseness in the turret press but the inovational design and ease of use make it worthwhile. The looseness dosen't cause any divations in reloading. When you want to change calibers, just pop it in and go. You can get a die set and a turret press kit with auto powder measure, turret, scale and other goodies included for about $115 to $135. | |||
