Re: Lee Classic turret press
I'm still waiting for my shipment. Cabela's shipped the press on the 3rd but didn't ship the dies, caliper, and Speer #13 till yesterday the 9th. I still haven't decided what powder to use. I am considering both Bullseye and Win231. As far as primers, Richard Lee's "Modern Reloading 2nd edition" recomends either CCI or Winchester so I am going to buy which ever is cheaper. I will be loading for 40 S&W for starters. In the future I will probably load some rounds for my 243 and when I get around to buying an AR I will load for it also.

Re: Lee Classic turret press
Thanks all, I've placed my order. Getting the classic turret kit from Cabela's. Now I have to decide on what powder and primer to use. I will probably start a new thread for input.

Re: Lee Classic turret press
Thanks for the info Fosforos and WildBill. The reviewer that got the inconsistant drops did mention initial static cling causing the problem. As humid as its been lately I don't think I will have problems.

Re: Lee Classic turret press
Yea I like the idea of being able to turn off the auto index. I read a review online where the reviewer stated that it takes 20 or so powder drops till they get consistant. Was this your experience?

Lee Classic turret press
I am thinking about starting to load my own and wondering what people here think about this press. Cabela's has a kit for $165. I can get started for less than $300 total. Anyone use this press and if so what do you think?
