Bought this press to replace my old RCBS single stage press which still works great, but man I got to tell you this Lyman 8 station turret press works awesome. I've been reloading 300 win mag, 30-06 , 223, and 9mm with it and has preformed flawlessly. Full length resizing is effortless, and the primer feed has worked great even though I prefer to use a hand primer with my rifle reloads. I would definitely recommend this press for anyone looking to upgrade. Having all 8 stations is a nice addition and will last forever.

Great vids Gavin, I personally use a T-7 for loading my magnum pistol cases because I hand weigh all my charges because I usually go almost to the max with them. For my range ammo .223 9mm and 45acp I use a hornady lock n load ap but it’s much more stressful than the turret there are so many things going on at once that you have to keep an eye on. Loading on the turret is relaxing almost like therapy of course I look at the shooting range as my “ safe space” 😃 anyway keep up the great vids

Lyman needs to add more holes to the turret head for more options on handle position. I think I see a ball detent on the handle, which is an improvement over the Redding design, so long as they broached the hole in the turret to accept the ball.

Hi Gavin, Calling from down under. Thanks for all your videos, they have really sparked my interest in reloading. I have just acquired a rather old but in very good condition Sako AV in 338WM and I am discovering the complete lack of choice in my country for factory ammo. Hence my interest in reloading. I am interested to know more about the linkages that allow you to use the RCBS powder funnel on the Lyman press. Anyway keep up the great videos and other content

@Swede109g 5 жыл бұрын

One thing about putting a powder measure on a turret like that is, the powder measure is constantly being moved, thereby slightly compacting the powder in the powder measure, which causes your powder charges to get heavier as you load. So constant attention has to be paid to charge weight. This isn't so critical with ball powders, but flake type powders it is an issue. Employing a baffle in the powder measure alleviates this a little.

@garrytalley8009 2 жыл бұрын

This press can be operated as a single stage press eliminating what you see as a problem. In fact, it is most likely you will be less inclined to make a mistake using it as a single stage. I have one of these and only use it as a single stage for either full length sizing, bullet pulling or de-capping primers. It is a space saver in my reloading. I primarily use a Dillon press I have set up with neck sizing dies for my rifles primarily. There is a versatility of different ways to use all presses. Don't get the mind set you need to do it the way someone else is doing it in a demo.

Good morning Gavin and everyone else with notifications on this video. I have a couple of questions, I will appreciate an answer from anyone. 1: Have you experienced any problem with flexing of the turret head and has it gotten worse over time? I understand it's not a single stage and I wouldn't mind a thousandth or two of runout, because I can fix that with a concentricity tool. But any more than that, it will be a pain in the ass. 2: have any of you modified the main handle/ operating arm or fabricated a new one; with the offset needed to eliminate the interference with the indexing handle? Thanks for your time and response. 🤙
