Bought it used from a forum member.

Needs a bath, but once I get that done, and beef up my reloading area (this thing is HEAVY!) I'll be ready to roll.

I'm thinking I'm going to build a very small bench just to hold this press...

Son, you 'been playing with those Lees too long. It's about time you had a press that will hold a table down. ;)

Did you know if you tie 30 Lee Turret Presses to a lawn chair you can reach approximately 15,000 feet and get the military really pissed off at you?

Mike, I wan't to hear more about how the T Mag works for you. I have read many of you posts on more than one reloading forum and I recollect you and I share a fondness for Turret presses. Since Lee turrets are so easy and quick to rotate I wonder how the T Mag will work out for you. Also, I would like to know how well the priming arm seats and how well the primer tube accessory works if you have that feature on your T Mag. Good Luck.

Regards,

I have one that I would like to get rid of, but I think I am too lazy to box it up.

The Lyman is a good turret press. I long ago ran out of room and that turret press hasn't loaded a round of ammo for two years. I have two Dillon 550s and a Rockchucker to contend with.

Dammit, lost the message when our server burped...

Anyway, I'll be checking in with regular updates on how I like this press.

It didn't come with the automatic primer feed, and quite frankly I don't know if I'll be adding it or not. I may, but I've gotten very used to using my Lee Auto Prime, and I've got a combination of fear and mistrust of primer feed tubes.

Mike, I bought a Redding turret press last winter, and I balked at the primer feed tube as well. I use a similar hand primer, the Hornady. for one or two primes, I use the built in hand fed cup on my press. I am not too keen on a tube with 100 primers in it right at my side.
