A great update vid, Treetop. I did not get a notification for this one. Weird! 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
That happens to me all the time. I look and I'm still subscribed? 🤷♂️
Probably figured it out all ready but it might be the plastic part the primer arm rides on is damaged, maybe. You saved me many headaches, thanks
Actually, the plastic part is scuffed a little but not damaged in anyway. I think I may have hit a military crimp and put too much stress on the primer lever. They will need to make these out of steel in the near future like the old ones in my opinion.
Thanks for the update
Thanks for watching Ocean!
Thanks for the video looks like a great press but not a fan of the plastic wear parts.
I get that, but I think its worth remembering, the plastic wear parts are only used in the auto index system. A feature other manufactures dont even offer. im not sure about the long term durability but if those parts last as well as the similar parts on the classic turret press, im good.
Great update. Funny I also broke a small primer arm reloading 9mm. I have been priming off press for less issues and more consistency. I also just upgraded mine and as you stated the press can be a little finicky but I am enjoying it. Lets see how it goes long term. Thanks again for your review of the press !
That's interesting, you broke one too. Recommend you get them to replace it under warranty to make sure they're aware. Thanks for watching
The wear point on the index system seems to be the slot where the index rod goes into it. It'll widen a little bit, that'll cause the turret not to totally rotate but the alignment pin will fully align the turret. This same index system is used on the 6 pack pro and the teeth don't wear or not that I have been able to determine. I agree the shell plate rotates too freely, but isn't a show stopper. As far as breaking the primer arm, that is one I haven't experienced yet, not sure how that would've happened.
I agree, the slot in the clutch is the most likely wear point in the system.
I just bought a Lee Pro 4000 kit in 223...... So far it is a great press.... easy to set up and no issues yet. I was going to get the Ultimate but Walter told me don't do it and get a Pro 4000. I hope Lee will get it to together some day and make better quantity stuff...
I would agree with Walter, but now that they fixed the index system, I think it's worth considering. As a long time Lee user, I am not happy at the way they rolled this press out and then tried to sneak in a fix like it never happened. Pretty lame. Thanks for watching!
That little plastic piece to hold the shell holder i can see it getting broke if you have a stuck case or sticking cases alot.
Sorry if I gave that impression. I don't like it because it doesn't fit particularly securely. The type of plastic used is very durable and flexible. You could probably tie it in a knot without breaking it. Thanks for watching.
Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Tree top , I have the APP I have the four hole turret, I also have the breechlock pro. Then I have the Frankford X10 all sealed roller bearings. For any high volume I don't go back to anything else.
Man, you're all set! Sounds like a great setup.
So it looks like you have the 1st gen 5 hole turret, I did as well. These presses are now shipping with the ball and spring, new bearing plate with the holes drilled in, a turret with detents milled into the bottom face of the turret and new instructions that have you place the ball and spring into the 4-6 cup for the 5 hole turret and the 5 cup for the 4 or 6 hole turret. So right now your ball and spring are indexing off of the alignment pin hole so yes you'll get some wiggle but with the new turrets they are indexing off of the machined index detent on the bottom face and it aligns so that the alignment pin doesn't really move the turret at all. I have machined my own index detents into my 5 & 6 hole turrets. If you purchase the 4 hole turret those index detents are already there.
The Beastie Boys.... "You gota Fight !!!!...For your Right!!!!.... To Use Leeeee...." hehehe.. Just Joking,, I have a lot of great Lee products, however, seems like few of their progressive presses work right out of the box, you have to expect to fiddle with them,, and that's okay. - Good review between you and Walter. Peace - Dave
DAVE! Haha 😄 when dealing with Lee, a sense of humor helps. This press is pretty awesome. I just wish they would T&E some and work the bugs out before hitting the public.
They're going way to fast with new products.
👍🇺🇸
Thanks for stopping by brother!
It doesn't look like the bin bracket is available as a spare part. Given that this is a wear item as you have demonstrated, I hope it becomes available.
Sorry, I didn't mean to sound like that part would wear out. I don't think that's likely. I was just trying to show where the primer lever rides by showing the scuff left behind. Good catch that it's not in the parts kit....yet.
@@TreeTopFlier I appreciate your videos on this press, and those from Viejo. Because of those, I picked up my own. I'm still waiting on the bullet feed (I opted for the base kit) and a quick change plate from Inline Fab. Thanks for your videos here and the other site.
I think I might have found the bracket. Looks like it might be the same as from the 6-pack pro: leeprecision.com/six-pack-bin-bracket
Hello Stranger!! ❤❤❤
Afternoon sir!!
I did a quite a bit of looking at all types of loading presses. I looked at all models of Lee Precision Presses and couldn't get over the amount of plastic and cast aluminum or pot metal and it looks like more of a toy than a Precision tool. I went with a press that is made of cast iron and Steele. Sorry..... Just one mans opinion.
