I love their lights. I’ve got 3 of them. The only issue I had and they warned me was on my Lee classic turret press. They warned me the adhesive wasn’t as good on it and they were right.

Very nicely presented, Flier! I like their products and have been using them on other presses. I was waiting for them to come out with this one. Thanks! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸

I have KMS lights on all of my presses..... I love the lights. I wouldn't have anything else... I have one set up with a switch that plugs and play all of my presses..... Nice and easy to switch out presses when I need to... Great video TTF!!!

I have the exact same problem and couldn't figure out why. Thank you for doing this, I know what to check next.

I have one from them that i got 5 years ago and it has worked great on my Lee turret .

I have the KMS light for my Dillon 550 press and it works great. Quality material and workmanship. Well worth the money.

I just got one of these in a couple days ago. Took like five minutes to install and makes it a *lot* easier to verify powder charges. Very happy with it, barring any unforeseen failures.

Tree Top Flier, It is always a geed idea to have more lighting at the loading bench, these little LED lights are inexpensive, easy to install and add such a need thing to ammunition crafting. Good video - Dave

👍🏼🤘🏼Hello brother!💪🏼🤘🏼🙏

They work real good

Solid content. Thorough and detailed overview. I really like how Lee incorporated the primer catch into the press.

I have the same newer unit on the classic turret press and can't make it work smoothly. It hits the bottom of the turret assembly before getting to the primer arm.

I agree it doesn’t take a lot of space and you certainly don’t have to buy the ultra expensive equipment that’s out there today. But the only thing that is troubling is the price of components. I dont know if it’s the manufacturers or the distributors but someone has lost their minds. A thousand primers is almost if not $100 and a pound of powder is almost as high at $75-$95 depending upon what you want. I would seriously consider that when getting into the hobby. At these prices it’s simply not worth it. The factory ammo manufacturers are loading just about every quality bullet you want these days. It really seems like the forces that be are wanting to make it more expensive to shoot so people can’t afford it anymore and our guns will be useless. I see no reason to reload and pay more money per round than I can buy it for already made. I’ve got thousands of dollars worth of equipment that is sitting there doing nothing. And unless these manufacturers and distributors stop charging these prices it will continue to do nothing.

I use Armor All Car Wash instead of dish soap. The brass stays shinier for much much longer

Didn't even show how set up trim die ... 😮

Know how to do that... How bout start with .300 blkout BRASS & show how to do that with quick trim handle & lee quick trim die

I don’t understand there still haven’t improved there priming system ,that’s why I sold my Lee ,bought the blue press Dillon 750 XL bad boy

I've been thinking about getting into reloading on and off for years, but single stages always seemed like too much fiddling-- requiring large batches to minimize the overhead of die changes-- and too much transferring the cartridge into and out of loading blocks, while progressive presses just had a scary amount of stuff going on with each pull of the lever for someone like me who wants to watch each stage of each cartridge like a hawk. I recently learned about manual turrets like the Redding T-7, which seem like a big improvement over standard single stages and give you the option to complete a cartridge without the constant transfers of the cartridge to and from loading blocks and I thought that was as good as it was going to get until I saw this video, which did the best job I have ever seen in explaining different kinds of setups possible. This turret has a leg up over the manual turrets in that it saves you from having to rotate the turret after each pull, and it automatically kicks the cartridge out. I'm on the verge of ordering this one, but thought I'd check to see if you know of any other presses from different manufacturers which offer this same kind of workflow just for the sake of completeness. Thank you for making this video, I am extremely glad I watched it before ordering a manual turret.

why not show us working ?

Great video well explained going to buy one already own a value & classic turrent.

Probably figured it out all ready but it might be the plastic part the primer arm rides on is damaged, maybe. You saved me many headaches, thanks

Thanks for the video looks like a great press but not a fan of the plastic wear parts.

"Rule of thumb Aye". in the olden days, it was legal to whip your wife on the courthouse lawn with a stick no bigger than your thumb!, Guess they should have made it rule of wrist.

My bear creek barrel seems to be picky with my reloads

Love this! Very well thought out!

Make a hole through the table to drop primers. Put jar lit on screws with hole in it under table. Collect primers in jar, you will not need remove press to empty.

Thanks for the update

Long time listener, first time caller. Thanks for the educational videos. Question: for a long time I used the Dry Lube...until I ran out of it the other day and now is no longer in sale. What did you replace it with?

I have found when setting primers giving the shell casing just a little twist when you first start to set it allows everything to get centered up and it goes right in really easy. especially on 223. bigger cases don't seem to have the problem.

the drum type powder measure is very accurate it uses the adapter that uses the shell case to actuate it. almost impossible to spill powder unless you do something stupid. of course I forgot to change it and put 30 at 6 worth of powder into 223. you only mistake once

the drum powder measure is very precise I load 3006 and it works just fine. the little plastic pieces for the indexing get worn out quickly. I heated up a worn out one with my lighter and installed it to backup a new one. it doesn't slip now. a tie wrap around the round part helps hold it together.

brand new out of the box the ram was so tight that I could barely operate it. I had to send it because I couldn't figure out how to get it out of the hole in the bass. I got it operating and actually loaded some 223. I'm in North Central Florida. the Florida room is the only ventilated place in the house. it rusted overnight. I ended up having to clean it up and put cold bluing on all of the pieces that were Rusty all of the black pieces especially and the top piece that the turret goes into. oh no I have a super dangerous black assault loading press do you think I could figure out a way to put a wooden handle or something to make it less dangerous. I think it looks good in Black

lemi-sine , a small amount of dish liquid and water is all you need to clean brass.that will clean and shine your brass

How do i purchase one?

I use a sonic cleaner. It takes about 15 minutes to throw them in there, clean them, and throw them in a towel to dry. They look brand new and I don’t have to sift media at all. It’s also quiet enough I can’t hear it over the a/c. Whatever works, works… but that’s my method and I like it. Plus I can throw my can baffles, BCG, pistol firing group, and whatever else I want to clean in there.

👍🇺🇸

I neck turn all my 300 brass at .011 also . It does make a difference in accuracy and function .

All this for economy of motion. Seems like an erector set for adults that like shooting.

A great update vid, Treetop. I did not get a notification for this one. Weird! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸

I did a quite a bit of looking at all types of loading presses. I looked at all models of Lee Precision Presses and couldn't get over the amount of plastic and cast aluminum or pot metal and it looks like more of a toy than a Precision tool. I went with a press that is made of cast iron and Steele. Sorry..... Just one mans opinion.

Before forming , anneal brass first

That little plastic piece to hold the shell holder i can see it getting broke if you have a stuck case or sticking cases alot.

It doesn't look like the bin bracket is available as a spare part. Given that this is a wear item as you have demonstrated, I hope it becomes available.

The wear point on the index system seems to be the slot where the index rod goes into it. It'll widen a little bit, that'll cause the turret not to totally rotate but the alignment pin will fully align the turret. This same index system is used on the 6 pack pro and the teeth don't wear or not that I have been able to determine. I agree the shell plate rotates too freely, but isn't a show stopper. As far as breaking the primer arm, that is one I haven't experienced yet, not sure how that would've happened.

So it looks like you have the 1st gen 5 hole turret, I did as well. These presses are now shipping with the ball and spring, new bearing plate with the holes drilled in, a turret with detents milled into the bottom face of the turret and new instructions that have you place the ball and spring into the 4-6 cup for the 5 hole turret and the 5 cup for the 4 or 6 hole turret. So right now your ball and spring are indexing off of the alignment pin hole so yes you'll get some wiggle but with the new turrets they are indexing off of the machined index detent on the bottom face and it aligns so that the alignment pin doesn't really move the turret at all. I have machined my own index detents into my 5 & 6 hole turrets. If you purchase the 4 hole turret those index detents are already there.

I just bought a Lee Pro 4000 kit in 223...... So far it is a great press.... easy to set up and no issues yet. I was going to get the Ultimate but Walter told me don't do it and get a Pro 4000. I hope Lee will get it to together some day and make better quantity stuff...

Thanks

The Beastie Boys.... "You gota Fight !!!!...For your Right!!!!.... To Use Leeeee...." hehehe.. Just Joking,, I have a lot of great Lee products, however, seems like few of their progressive presses work right out of the box, you have to expect to fiddle with them,, and that's okay. - Good review between you and Walter. Peace - Dave

Tree top , I have the APP I have the four hole turret, I also have the breechlock pro. Then I have the Frankford X10 all sealed roller bearings. For any high volume I don't go back to anything else.

Great update. Funny I also broke a small primer arm reloading 9mm. I have been priming off press for less issues and more consistency. I also just upgraded mine and as you stated the press can be a little finicky but I am enjoying it. Lets see how it goes long term. Thanks again for your review of the press !
