Thanks for the video. I just ordered one and I am looking forward to trying it out. I wish you would've moved the camera up on all the action instead of showing the bottom of the press during the entire video.
There are some mistakes on this video. One your first die was ajusted without the shell holder, number 2 you should adjust the sitting of the bullet by inserting a factory bullet so that the bullet sitting dye could be adjusted by turning 1/2 a turn for ligth or full turn for more crimo
The 4th hole is for people that want to seat and crimp the bullet in separate operations. Its easier to adjust the seating and crimp in separate sequences. Some people say ammo is more accurate this way. buy an extra crimping die or use the factory crimp die if you wish. although the 4th hole is really not necessary
I think you glossed over the adjustment of the expander, bullet seater, and factory crimp dies just a bit. For example, with the bullet seater die, I have found that there is a bit of adjusting, measuring with a micrometer, and repeating until you get the OAL of the round exactly where you need it to be for your reloading specs. Different bullets will have different lengths and your bullet seater die needs to be adjusted for the one that you are using in the current reloading session.
Depends upon what caliber you are changing to. For example, 10mm and .40SW use the same die set (at least with the Lee dies). Same with .38 special & .357 mag and .44 special & .44 mag.
@EvanQuinn07 different die sets. riffles will mostly use a 4 die set where pistols will use a 3 die set. pistols will seat and crimp in the same die. im kinda new to reloading but thats only thing i could think of.
Hey, good video. I've been using this same press for about six months to reload a few different calivers. In that time I still don't quite know how to use the AUTO-DISK POWDER MEASURE. Maybe you could make a video about that. Thanks!
@OregonBackpacker I would get the 4 hole press. For 9mm your going to want to get the carbide crimp die it crimps the bullet and post sizes the case to remove any case buldges.
I noticed you inserted the and tighten up the resizing die before you placed the the shell holder in. Is this correct or not? Should the shell holder be in place, so when you screw down the resizing die to make contact with the shell holder, then tighten up the jam nut? Thanks for you time and help
i just ordered one on ebay and i know for sure it is now discontinued to make way for their 4 hole classic turret press and now the value 4 holed turret press, can you tell me when they first started this model and when it was discontinued?
ok so i like the fact you did the set up i just couldnt see the tops of the dies to know which you were putting where can you contact me let me get some info from you as soon as you get a chance thx.
When realoading .40 cal I set up the resizing die properly but it looks like the shell does not go in the whole way. There is a ring around the bottom and it looks kind of like a bulge. Nothing mojor. All my equipment is brand new. Is this how they are suppose to look ?
What's the point of using a dedicated factory crimp die when the lee seating die has a crimp built in? My dad just gave me a 3 turret press and a bunch of calibers set in turrets. None of the of the die sets have that 4th factory crimp though. Is the 4th die necessary?
I had a problem with seating the bullet too deep. I may have used the wrong size bullet. It said .40 / 10mm and I know there is difference between a 10mm and a .40 cal. Seems that I have a problem with depth here and maybe not setting up the press setting correctly . Any ideas? The instruction manual isn't the best
I've got a question regarding "Through the die" expander. I'm planning on using the Redding die sets (Carbide (pistol)), do I need to use the conventional set (I assume not through the die powder) or the "Pro" (Progressive) set (which I believe IS through the die set powder charge). I havent purchased this loader yet, but hope to when they become available again. Thanks! Corey
I'm looking at getting into reloading, do you get everything you need to reload out of the box (minus the bullet, primer, casing, and powder of course) or are there aditional things you need to buy? I'm pretty sure i need to get the dies, but what else do i need to get?
This looks like an older press. The thing I have, which Lee makes now, is called a "Lee Classic Cast Turret Press"; it has four holes and I quite happily reload .303 British and .223 Remington on it, though I use the turrets only as a convenient way to hold all the dies without constantly having to reset them when I change calibres or go from full-length to neck-only sizing. The .303 has an overall length per SAAMI spec of 3.075 inches, and if you're wanting to reload something like .308 Win or the Russian 7.62's, you should be fine. .30-06 or the long .300 or .338 magnums, perhaps not so much; check with Lee on those.
You wasted your time showing nothing but the bottom of the press when all the action was up top out of camera range. Don't you review it before submitting?
Thanks for your video. I have the identical press,so it was helpful. The powder setup was explained well,but not visible.
Great idea, no help at all since everything important was above the camera angle. Such great info wasted.
Actually the angle of the camera and the fact the top of the press was cut off made this video rather useless
Thanks for the video. I just ordered one and I am looking forward to trying it out. I wish you would've moved the camera up on all the action instead of showing the bottom of the press during the entire video.
Enjoyed the view of your belly and the table, might want to do another one with the camera on the turret and press

your camera setting hadv a nice view of your bench!
*they make a great easy to use product for short money. I would say lee is the way to go for a beginner
Nice shirt.
A picture is worth ten thousand words.....

the one thing I wanted to see wasn't even shown
I just bought this press so this video will be helpful. Good video.

Love the info - but damn that angel of the camera 😢 if it was just up so I can see what dies your using 😢
@OregonBackpacker I would get the 4 hole press. For 9mm your going to want to get the carbide crimp die it crimps the bullet and post sizes the case to remove any case buldges.
Super helpful video. Maybe one with a little better camera angle to see the double riser and powder holder.
Thanks !!
Thank you for taking time out of your schedule to share. The video was very helpful Thank you!!!
Nice looking at the base, next time try adjusting the camera.
Where the heck did you go? This video is over a decade old. Was wondering if you were still doing reloading and or UA-cam videos? Take care, Echo.
@ressikanflute This press works great for all handgun reloading.
I noticed you inserted the and tighten up the resizing die before you placed the
the shell holder in. Is this correct or not? Should the shell holder be in place, so when
you screw down the resizing die to make contact with the shell holder, then tighten up the jam nut? Thanks for you time and help
No its not correct
Would this be good for loading 38 Special and .357 Magnum? Expect to shoot about 200 rounds every week
i just ordered one on ebay and i know for sure it is now discontinued to make way for their 4 hole classic turret press and now the value 4 holed turret press, can you tell me when they first started this model and when it was discontinued?
Why did you only show the first die...then not the remaining 3 die...is the setup a reloader secret?
ok so i like the fact you did the set up i just couldnt see the tops of the dies to know which you were putting where can you contact me let me get some info from you as soon as you get a chance thx.

Looks like you need a camera man..I mean Whiskey, tango, foxtrot?

@menchimutt Yes the press will reload 270win.
I feel like your die were literally all bottoming out on the lock not not on the shell holder
Please Adjust Camera can't see the top of your vido thanks
what size bolts do u need to mount the press or dose it come with it
What is the difference between this one(Lee 4 hole turret press) and the Lee ClassiC Turret press?? Do both allow rifle reloading? They look the same
This looks like an older press.

It's been a few years, how did the Lee Press work out for you?
Thanks for the video! Pretty helpful!
I wish I could see what was going on up top
Thanks for the video. To change caliber you just need new dies mostly?
Good video but you should zoom out a bit. You should redo it.
Talk all the smack you want about lee but they make a great easy to
Yeah, I didn't know about the bad camera angle until after I saw it on my computer. Thanks for watching.
@BED313 Yes the camera angel is a little low but i'm describing what i'm doing so i disagree with u that the vid is worthless.
Only saw half camera angle was off
@EvanQuinn07 No difference one has three holes the other one has four that's it.
does it work fine with all kinda Rifles ?
How much and were did you get it?
where did u buy it?
Great video! Keep it up:)
Cant see the dies!
Shell holder goes in first
@dogishappy0 Watch my basic reloading video it shows all the extra stuff you need for reloading.
Hey, move your camera up, we can't see what you are doing! Really??
you camera angle makes it difficult for a new reloader. i wish i could see waht was going on... :(
Your camera angle was ridiculous! Accentuated your stomach.
Can't see anything..
couldnt see half of what you did.
You told me nothing and you showed med nothing on camera….what was the point of this video..?
You didn't show the spacing of dies vs ram, you don't show the top set up. The idea of the video is good the execution not so much.
Why post an instructional video with half of the instructions out of frame? Good information and narration video needs work.
Did not show what he was doing u can’t really see. Adjust your camera dude!
You wasted your time showing nothing but the bottom of the press when all the action was up top out of camera range. Don't you review it before submitting?
Not enough detail
It was almost a good video. Almost.
Can't see any important things
NOT A GOOD VIDEO AT ALL!! POORLY VIDEOED! Can't see important parts!!!
um ya ill stick with my dillon.
Fail
Not informative at all. I don't think he knows what he is doing.
