Ultimate Turret Press
Ultimate Turret Press
Turret Presses are for people that enjoy reloading. The simplicity of a single station is maintained. Your attention is focused on just one operation rather than four or more when operating a progressive press. The busy work like changing dies, placing bullets, and powder charging are done for you. At any time, you can interrupt the process and inspect your handywork replace the case and continue.
The Lee Classic Turret Press has been the standard of excellence and convenience for nearly a generation. The Ultimate Turret Press keeps all the features that made the Classic so popular and convenient, and adds a host of features and design improvements.
The Ultimate Turret press retains the powerful Big Press linkage and circumferential tool head support. Perimeter support sets all Lee turret press apart from others. Through ram primer disposal keeps grit and grime away from the massive steel base and ram.
The Ultimate replaces the four-position turret with a changeable tool carrier available in three, four, five and six die positions. The tool carrier is precision machined on all surfaces and closely fitted to the steel support ring that surrounds the indexable tool head, having just enough clearance to allow free indexing and enough radial clearance to allow perfect die alignment. Perimeter support eliminates any die tipping and provides the best possible accuracy. Each die position is a quick change, provided by the Lee Breech lock system. Now you can remove your dies and store them in your fitted die box without disturbing the settings. Tool carrier can be quickly changed by removing three alloy steel socket head bolts, wrench included.
Every downstroke of the press automatically advances the carrier to the next tool position. The new index mechanism has only one moving part and is overload protected making it nearly indestructible. Should it become damaged the drive clutch can be replaced in seconds without tools. The final and exact positioning of the tool head is provided by a shot pin attached to the ram.
The Ultimate now includes a case ejector to whisk away your finished round to the included bin. No adjustments are required, and the ejector is unbreakable.
The Big Press all-steel compound toggle linkage found on our 50 BMG reloading press sizes the most difficult cases with ease, with sufficient stroke to load the longest magnum cartridges.
Ergonomics are excellent with the formed lever and roller handle. The balanced lever design is easy to operate and will not drop and pinch a finger.
The finishing touch, a tool rack surrounding the steel tool carrier holds die wrench, ¼ hex wrench, alternate primer arm and Safety Prime.
