    Lee Classic Turret Press: A Love Sonnet

    Phlier , I had a problem with the .380 die as well and with just a bit of polishing of the feed chamfer at the bottom , the problem was solved . And the Auto Drum has saved me from wrestling with a slight OCD problem when it comes to powder throws LOL !

    Great ideas all ! I'm using a set of cherry cabinets and cupboards my son took out of their house . 8 ft with a 3 foot drop section allowing me to sit ( disagreement with a rack of steel ) and work at the bench . Anyway I'm using MDF 3/4 right now but I'm making a new top for the press from 2x6...

    pierced primers glock 17

    I stand corrected shooter 1 . Your idea makes more sense at this point and shooter safety dictates a thorough check and cleaning of the gun !

    Tulammo , Win ,Whie box and your blaming your Glock 17 with 1500 rounds through it ? If any one of my Glocks stopped running , first thing I would do is get some higher grade Ammo . I've seen partial boxes of Tulammo going bye bye for FTF and with my own problems from White box Win. Near squib...

    First holster for first revolver (sp101 3")

    Ditto on the Simply Rugged pancake convertible IWB to OWB with loop straps , nice quality leather . Hint ; specify carry cant for belt loops if you want straight up carry , I like the 20 degree cant of mine . Reasonably priced for leather product and my SP 101 2 1/4 sits in there real pretty .

    One pistol? Yes, only one.

    Gotta go with my G26 , out of the herd it's my go to at the range and my EDC . With a slightly modified trigger guard ( thanks for the tip Hickock 45 ) and a Hogue palm swell sleeve it gives my arthritic hands a firm grip . In a hybrid IWB it carries easily no matter what the occasion !

    lee turret press?

    As suggested before , get the Auto Drum Powder Measure . Much more consistant powder throws and easily adjusted , you will get a large caliber and small caliber with the set but large is easily set to small and vice versa . Need to run them a bit to get graphite on the wiper to lube but just a...

    I can't speak to the OPs motives but what I will say is my problem with the ammo in question is legitimate and after a bit of digging through other threads I was led to the conclusion that there was a problem occurring during a change of location of production facilities and this led to some of...

    Like jell dog I have the Lee Auto Drum . Just started using for 9mm with WSF powder and very little variance in throws . Next up are 40mm , .380 , 38sp and 357mag all with different powders .
