First off thanks to everybody here.... I have been asking a lot of questions and getting some great answers

I think I might get a lee classic turret press and batch load using it as a single stage press

My question is with the lee 4 die set on the turret press do you deprime when you resize? I already have a rcbs hand primer and I would probably use it to prime but I Am a little confused on how I would deprime

Thanks for helping a starter out
 
Does it come with a tray or tube to catch the old primers? Or what is the eases way to do this without the lee safety primer attachment?
 
I use the Ram priming attachment that came with the press. One the upstroke, the die deprimes, and the attachment deflects the spent primer into the hole in the bottom of the press for the primers. Currently, mine just collects the primers there. On the downstroke, the attachment seats a new primer.
 
Using the safety prime on the press really speeds up the process compared to hand priming.

The only time I use a hand primer is if I'm loading rifle rounds that I had to trim.

If you are doing handgun rounds even batch loading I would recommend using the press to prime. Unless you are dead set on cleaning primer pockets.
