Lee Classic Cast Press

I've been pondering as to whether to get the roller handle, but now I think I will stay with the ball.
 
The glove is a good idea, but I don't hold the ball tight. Most of the time I push down with the ball in my palm, and raise the handle with the side of my index finger or flip my hand and push with my palm...
 
I have an old pro 1000 I don't use any more, with a ball handle, and I've been studying the linkage between it and the ABLP which has the roller handle. I think the linkage will interchange and am planning to change the ABLP to the Pro 1000 ball handle.
I think it may improve the OAL consistantcy by reducing the sideways torque.
When I get this done I will report back.
 
Mine has the Hornady LnL bushing adapter, since it serves as an accessory to my LnL AP press. That adapter came from Hornady, I believe. I recently recovered bench space by putting the single stage on an InLine quick change plate to share the Junior Ultramount.

Mine looks much like that...except that I've added the case ejection system.

I had it sharing a Inline Fabrication mount with other accessories, until I needed to mount a Dillon 750 on it. Both the 750 and my LNL AP are a bit cumbersome to exchange as they are fitted with cases feeders and bullet feeders
 
I load with that press. Love it. Some suggestions: you are missing the die bushing. Instead of getting it buy a Hornady lock and load conversion bushing set. Midway and Amazon have them. I really like the quick change die setup. I personally do not prime with the std press primer. I have and it works fine but I much prefer a Ram prime setup that works on the top of the press. Any clear plastic tube of the right dia from Ace hdware should work.
What diameter is the tube for the Lee Classic Cast?

I have three Ultramounts, two full height and one Junior. The AP progressive and Lee Turret have their own mount and dedicated bench space. The junior is the one with the quick change adapter plate, serving an Auto Lee Breech Lock Pro, a MEC 600 Jr 12 gauge loader, and a cast single stage.
