Lee Loader

How do you like it so far? Would you recommend this model over the LCT? I'm about to pull the trigger and order a Lee turret press, but still on the fence in between the two models.

Pardon the first post! I looked around for reviews and came across this forum. I've been reloading (mostly 9mm, 38sp/357mag, 40sw) since 2013. Started with a Lee Hand Press, and currently the Lee APP and a Dillon SDB. I'm all setup for pistol rounds.

One of my new year resolutions is to get into rifle cartridges reloading this year. The plan is to get a Lee turret press and start with it. It will be a low volume, maybe a couple hundreds of 223 a month of plinking ammo. Only have run-of-the-mill ARs, no precision rifle yet.

Glad I found this forum!

Rising sun.... Welcome

If you want to load rifle carts do not get the Lee Value Turret. It is a good turret, but it will not do some rifle carts well, as it doesn't have the highth. I had trouble with mine till I figured this out. I only use it for pistol now.
I just bought a Classic Turret, and do rifle carts on it.
I have no experience with the new Ultimate Turret, as it is to new.

Thank you Dave!

10-4. I've already dismissed the Value Turret. It's now down to the Classic Turret or the Ultimate.

So far I like it better but still have not received the extra turrets I ordered - Lee says they are not ready to ship yet.

Today I finished loading the first box of 50 45 Colt cartridges. The Ultimate turret is growing on me. The priming function is awesome. This is my first experience with the Lee Perfect Powder measure. I like a lot of things about it but spilled some powder refilling it. I need to work on my technique there; I don't think the powder measure is at fault. All in all a pleasant experience.
