need new press, Lee breech lock vs classic turret?
« on: February 12, 2016, 09:53:55 PM »
I want a new single stage press for my rifle calibers, and was liking the idea of the breech lock system by lee, to facilitate easier diy changing, but the price is the same for the classic turret, which I could use for batch processing, which is what I prefer, and allow easy caliber swaps with multiple tool heads. Press will mostly see 45-70, .243, 25-06,30-06 and in the near future 6.5 creedmore. My dillons will handle everything else.

What press would you go with? (Also does not need to be either of these)

I'm new to reloading and just bought the Lee Classic Turret press. My reasoning's of going with the turret vs a single stage is that I wouldn't have to keep swapping out dies and also that with the turret press I can take their auto index out and use it as a single stage press.

If you are going with the kit, a lot of reviews talk about having to buy a riser for the powder measure (it's needed to clear the auto prime unit). Lee must of listened because my kit came withe the powder riser.
