By using an indexing rod that has the twist in the oposite direction, it causes the rod to turn backwards.Drband, what is "the reverse rod"?
You can then install a case kicker on it that will kick the case to the left, but more importantly, it allows you to load the brass from the left side of the press.
There are a couple of youtube videos showing this in action.
On the lee-loader site there is a thread explaining how to make one yourself.
Or you can buy one from Inline Fabricators.
I have an index rod and turret for case prep. The case kicker has 4 fingers on it so it kicks a case with every cycle of the arm.
I rounded the nut on the top so it doesn't rotate the turret.
I can deprime at one sitting, wet tumble the brass, rotate the turret to size, tumble again, then change the rod and turret to charge, seat and crimmp
eta. Obviously reversing rotation requires reversing the order of dies on the turret.
For pistol, I have them set as 1. Powder drop. 2. $29 bullet feeder. 3. Seater. 4. LFCD.
