MidSouth. All Lee presses. Out of stock but back order OK. Would indicate a shipment expected or not.
Even Ammoseek couldn't find one.. I know I'm preaching to the choir, but if you love yours even half as much as I love mine, you're gonna LOVE it.. I have six turrets for it, and, for a while, had all of them occupied; I'm now down to four loaded.. I removed, ages ago, the auto-rotate assembly, prefering to rotate the dies myself.. Be sure to order enough turrets when you buy the press.
Funny how people are different...I stopped using the press (thought it was too cheesy and went to a T-7) but stayed with the primer apparatus and use it on a Lee single stage to size and prime exclusively.Like mine but gave up on that cheesy plastic priming attachments within minutes of setting it up.
Are we talking bout the same primer assembly. All plastic thin brittle plastic at that. Anyway , not to Jack the op’s post, some criticism is helpful, I wanted a semi progressive press and caught the Lee Classic on sale a few years ago. I was already decapping with a universal die before wet tumbling. Did not like that priming system so went back to capping with a hand tool a few hundred cases, then remove the decapping pin from the size die and just go from there. 4 pulls one loaded round. Not my 550 but works all the same. 38’s a few nines and 45Colts. The disk powder measure works well also for my skill level with the pistols.Funny how people are different...I stopped using the press (thought it was too cheesy and went to a T-7) but stayed with the primer apparatus and use it on a Lee single stage to size and prime exclusively.

I noticed something didn't look right. I don't want a franken-press.Don't reckon I recognize the press in those pictures. Base looks like the old 3 hole turret, but clearly shows 4 hole turret. Something ain't right.
The one they sell has aluminun parts, not down with that.Wait. what, that’s what I got. Lee four hole turret Press, the roller handle is an upgrade. Or so I thought.
Hmmmm. Mine will be for 9mm.Ok. Wasn’t sure. I’m not even sure what mine is material wise. For pistol cartridges it’s as good as any lower priced press, for sizing rifle maybe not so much. I do like it’s auto rotate feature and those removable turrets. I’ve got several turrets. Even use one for the universal de-capping die by Lee.

Thanks, got the riser on my list, also everything from inline fab. They boosted my speed and comfort on my Chucker.For primer, it uses the Lee safety prime.
For powder, there's lee's auto disk and lee's auto drum powder systems. You'll also want the riser as well.
As far as I know, that's all there is.
Ahhh, your logic makes sense. TBH, I almost just said F it, and bought a Dillon progressive today. However, I only shoot 800-1000 rounds of 9mm per month, and like reloading. Not sure I'd feel justified on the cost of a Dillon, for 1 caliber, and that many rounds per month. .223 I will do on my Chucker anyway, it's more of a precision press I believe.I don't think you can use a case feeder, the shell holder is fixed on the ram and only one shell is in the press at a time. You would need a progressive I believe to achieve everything you quoted.
Check this out. It uses an arm which advances with each stroke. Very smart.I don't think you can use a case feeder, the shell holder is fixed on the ram and only one shell is in the press at a time. You would need a progressive I believe to achieve everything you quoted.
