    Thinking of a turret press to replace Lee single stage.

    I also allready have a dillon.

    I have narrowed the choice to Lyman or Rcbs and the Lyman price is attractive.

    I use some Lyman tools and they are gtg.
     
    Well two thumbs up for the lyman and no arguments.

    Just cant pony up for the 419 at this time.
    The Lee continues to rock but has a tiney bit of slop in the quick change system.

    The time has come to tighten up loads on seating and bump.

    Now to find a sale
     
    In case you haven’t looked at it, Redding T7 is in my opinion a great press for the money. It was really easy to tighten up the tolerance’s so I could control my seating down to the half thou and still have the benefit of the turret system.

    But that 419 press… one day.

    No complaints with my 8 station Lyman.
    Yeah I have one too and it's great. I did lightly sand down the spacer ring to make absolutely zero movement in the turret, so it has no rocking back and forth(it was very minimal to begin with), but otherwise I haven't done anything to it and it's been fantastic.
