Thanks for thinking outside the box, brilliant! Headed down now to index my press.

I just bought a reverse indexing rod for my Lee Classic Turret Press, and this is exactly what I'm going to do to ensure its indexing properly. Excellent tip.

Thank you for taking the time to share your improved process! I've been using the calibrated eyeball method but your methodology is definitely more accurate. The Lee Classic Turret Press does have a few quirks, but overall it's an excellent press.

That is a great tip/method for setting that index rod. 👍 I always just "winged it" and relied on the case going into the die to determine if it was right. This is a much more precise method and doesn't leave you guessing if you got it right. Nicely done!

I don’t get it . The way this press is designed , none of that is needed . There’s a detent ball in the turret ring that indexes with the turret for perfect alignment. Once the turret is installed onto the indexing rod you only need to rotate it into any of the four positions where the indexing ball sets . Then every time you pull the lever , assuming you’re completing the strokes fully , the next station aligns itself with complete precision .

The ball bearing in the ring locks the turret at the proper index spot on my Value turret press. As long as index rod gets it close, the turret self aligns to proper spot.

Actually mine wouldn't align, the decapping pin kept getting pushed up. Also, it's just a good indicator as to how far off and in which direction you need to make the adjustments.

The ball index is the alignment center.
@zazkariafrady9152 Жыл бұрын
This is a great test to show alignment. That being said, there is a index ball in the ring itself. If you are out of alignment you cannot really fix it with the index rod. You would use the die like you've shown, but loosen the 3 bolts on the ring. Center with your method (I have always used a sizer with a case installed) then tighten the bolts down on your turret ring. Ive done a lot of rebuilds, conversions, etc with these. I assure you if that alignment is not right, you will be off.

EXCELENT video. Mine has been off maybe 1/32" and I see the shell moves left at every station indicating it is off alignment. I did not know it was adjustable.

Lee has a video ( as well there are others out there on YT) on the adjustment process, this merely points out how far off the the adjustment actually is, making easier to see.

I have a brand new Lee Classic Turret Press and the indexing rod is giving me fits! I adjust it with the wrench per instructions and it lines up the first die, then the next one goes off by half the diameter of the die! It's like the turret is catching on something and the plastic square at the top of the rod rotates back out of alignment. It's totally unusable as is. Any ideas?
@kenzaleski5198 Жыл бұрын
Not sure, but if it's brand new, I'd contact lee before anything. From what I hear they are really good about customer service.

@@kenzaleski5198 I think I figured it out. When I held the indexing rod and turned the turret counter-clockwise to adjust, the square plastic end of the rod was loosened and wouldn't hold its position. When I moved the turret clockwise, it was a larger distance and acted to tighten the rod. So far it's held the index (only 50 rounds loaded so far, just to test it out.) Thanks for this video!
