Fortunecookie, I watched your review of the Lee Ultimate Turret on Rumble and saw where you had installed the press on the end of your tool chest, and in Lee's slide-in press mount bracket. The problem was the ram, at full extension, crushes the spent primer tube and the side of the tool chest doesn't permit the full ram extension anyway. You can defeat this by using say a 3/4" block of MDF or other wood, mounted to your tool chest and overhanging the chest by an inch or however much you need to permit full ram extension. Just remove the block, mount your press (with Lee's mounting bracket), and reinstall the block on your tool chest, with overhang. I meant to send an email, but couldn;t find one. Good luck! (My favorite reloading channel since long before KZbin went wacko)

Good morning. I have always(for 45years) always preped cases but not primed. Take care.

I started first depriming, sizing, wet and dry tumbling my brass, trimming it to uniform lengths quite awhile ago. Originally it was to make things easier on my Dillon RL550B with the flat bearing for the primer bar that is Teflon coated. I wore a couple of those out over the last 20 something years to have motivation to do it a better way now. I have been doing it this way now for a number of years and greatly prefer it this way. You also don't get mid station and suddenly find out the case you have is out of spec or unusable junk. I'd never just fill and rip with my Dillon XL750 either. I have other single stage and turret presses for case prep on that as well. My loads are perfect and work in every gun I have put them in. Some friends have shot mine and commented on how well they functioned and how accurate they shot. That's because I don't get in a hurry and cut corners for speed.

Good morning, great video, for me I like prepping on. Single stage never in a hurry. Take care everyone.

Tried to do 45acp on thd 6 pack and even the lee thru powder expanding die was making the press bend! Felt like something was wrong

IMO more people (usually newer reloaders) need to start doing more pre case prep in their reloading schedule. Even out of the same box from the same lot I have seen cases that vary as much as 0.008" to 0.010" in length. There's no guarantee the primer pocket is going to fit the new primers right either. Also I use a case gauge and scrap anything that doesn't easily drop in as it's out of spec brass by that point if resizing it doesn't correct it.

Why not use the 3 station toolhead to do those steps?

What's the general consensus on this press? I'm still on an old rock chucker and thinking of picking one up.

Hey FC been a minute but question. Did you go to the star trek cruise 2 for work or pleasure

Steve, Idk, IMO when you are having to take the time to load the tubes, where is the time savings, what if you get one upside down? again, were is the time savings? I believe that people believe they are going faster because of all the action going on in front of them, rams up and down, things and gadgets moving in and out sliding left to right and then,, Kerplunk!! as the casing drops off the chute into the collection box. as you pointed out, if you use your mind and plan steps through the process, you can speed things up and save a lot of time. and because you handle your brass, it gives you a last chance to sort it out if you felt something wrong with it. good video. peace - Dave
