Reviews & Ratings for Lee 90304 Classic Turret Press Kit Steel — 28 reviews — Page 1

Lee brought reloading into the user home front. Lee equipment is quirky but reliable & made in USA. Reloading can be as precise as the operator needs it to be.with patience & set up Lee delivers.people using equip should not slam it round knocking dies loose or otherwise affecting end results then blame the company for their stupidity. If speed and quality I'd desired purchase a dillinger or similar commerical set up.

I load everything from 5.7x28 to 6.5 300 weatherby. The biggest problem I've encountered is turning the turret backwards when the perss is in the down position. It won't index properly if you do that. I'm totally satisfied with mine. I don't use the Lee powder measure, I use RCBS and Honaday to eliminate the powder slobber.

I got the Lee Classic primarily to reload pistol rounds. I like the 4 die set as easy to factory crimp. Proper set up is important for longevity of turret parts. Ordering extra turret plates makes it easy to change calibers.

I have run into a few different issues with several of the items in the turret press kit. The first one is the powder measure, it leaks from around the drum and on the back by the arm. I've tried different levels of tightness on the screw, I opened it up and cleaned it out a few times, I tried coating everything with graphite powder, I ran about 50 loads through, and it still leaks pretty bad. I'm using Winchester 296 powder. Also, I'm not sure if it's a problem, but the measure hole in the drum doesn't seem to fully line up with the funnel coming from the bottle. I'm getting about a .4 grain swing either way, which seems like a bit too much when loading 15.7 grains. I noticed the mount for my Safety Prime is broken, the tab that keeps it from hitting the ram is missing, so it keeps popping off unless I hold it out of the way. And I'm getting a few dropped primers too. I got a case length gauge to go with the cutter and lock stud, and the threads were missing, not stripped, just missing like they were never machined in the first place. I also bought a 300 blackout die set, and the full length sizing die is leaving a scratch in the case. I'm a first time reloader and all these issues have come up already, so it's making it hard to get into reloading when it feels like I'm stopping at every step to fix something. I will not be buying any more Lee products. Save up a little more and buy RCBS or something else.

Was affordable, shipped quickly, all arrived in 1 box. The press itself assembled easily, but was slightly out of time. A quick watch of the videos on lees website, and it was setup. Wife has timed me at 50 rds in 23 minutes, cleaned and deprimed to start. Very affordable for a learning teloader.

Item is good quality at a good price. It would have been nice if it had been in stock when I ordered it. Would have also been nice if it took less than 6 weeks to arrive. But hey nobody's perfect, certainly not the shipping g department. Last three orders from them were packed by an irate toddler chimp.

Everything you need to start reloading. You will need to buy turrets and dies for each caliber that you want to load for. It is also a good idea to buy a bullet puller because you will make mistakes and you will need to pop the bullet out to recheck everything. I've used mine to load hundreds of 9mm and 45ACP. There are plenty of videos out there to help you set it up. Lee makes a great product and I highly recommend.

The turret press was easy to put together and use. Reloaded 100 rounds of 44 mag in no time. Keep a 1/4 wrench close by to make adjustments as needed. Will recommend to my friends. Competitive price. Lee customer service is pretty good with their information.

Quicker than expected shipping on this item, arrived in perfect shape. I LOVE this press! Took me a bit to understand all the details of assembly, but after that it worked perfectly. I would definitely recommend this press to anyone who does low to moderate volume shooting and wants to save a little money. Most of all to me as an engineer, it's just plain fun. The powder volumes are spot on. Can't wait to shoot the rounds I've reloaded.

Good product good price good quality. Shipping was pretty slow, but it got here in its entirety. It’s a great kit for reloaders who are just beginning. Has pretty much everything in it you need to get started
