What fiddling do you do with your Lee Classic Turret? It is a very simple design with nothing to fart around with to get excellent performance.
Sorry, I mean Lee products in general. As to my use of the turret, occasionally I have had the auto index fail to engage, constant realignment of the primer, when primed on press, as well as both the Pro powder disc and the autodrum for leakfree consistent drops. If you havent fiddled a little, you likely are not consistent with results for accuracy, not plinking...that's the intent of the thread. So your Lee press/equipment is just set is just put it together and go?
Probably their most fiddly item is their small beam scale. Until you get very familiar with it, getting the same item to weigh the same twice can be a trick. Search this forum for various comments in regard. Weighing the same item over and over (like a small piece of paper) is good training to get accustomed to it. Early on its uncertainty led me to purchase the Dillon balance scale.
As to their dies, I have gotten fine results with both pistol and rifle dies by Lee, but superior and more consistent results with the Redding dies, which are much more expensive to be sure.
Not to bash Lee, I have 3 of their presses, and first sets of 9mm, .45 ACP, .223 and 300 Black Out dies were Lee, and all worked. I am slowly replacing them, or some of them with Redding Competition dies, in rifle, and their Competition seaters for pistols and rifles.
The turret also seems a bit more prone to vary slightly more when every thing, from treatment of powder drop to press pulls are not kept absolutely identical pull to pull... than say their single stage breach lock, which I also have. Most presses are subject to this, the Lee Classic Turret a little more so than some other, and far more expensive presses. That said, with careful attention to detail, (AKA "fiddling") accuracy level reloading is easily accomplished.
For accuracy level loads, "farting around" is required with all equipment for things like ultra close consistency, minimal shoulder movement with bottle neck rifle brass. I also subject them to a plethora of measuring equipment, Hornady headspace comparator, RCBS precision micrometer, Wilson case gauge with their depth micrometer, and Sheridan case gauge. Small variations are detected, and allows me to set up the sizer for minimal shoulder bump. The best part of the turret style press is I can leave all the dies set up, and just replace the entire turret for other calibers.
