Re: Lee Classic Turret Press Automatic Case Ejector
I finally got around to making a reverse turret shaft. I posted DIY instructions in a different thread. See:

It's a case kicker. It ejects the case when he uses the press in single stage mode for batch processing.Maximumbob54 wrote:Also, I see in his second video there is another contraption to the right side that he's not using in the video. I wonder what that does...?

Re: Lee Classic Turret Press Automatic Case Ejector
I made my own just to see if it was worthwhile. It really does work very well but I rarely use it. I use a drill stop for the collar and as can be seen just a couple of springs stuck on screw, screwed in a drilled and taped hole in the drill stop. I got these parts from HF.

Re: Lee Classic Turret Press Automatic Case Ejector
I just made a prototype ejector out of a paperclip.

You want it to be loose enough to slide up and down the index rod, but tight enough to maintain contact with the shell casing during each ejection cycle.

Re: Lee Classic Turret Press Automatic Case Ejector
Great idea! Is this wire strong enough, or was it just a prototype?

I made another one out of a thicker paper clip just in case :-)Fyodor wrote:Great idea! Is this wire strong enough, or was it just a prototype?
