Lee Precision

4-Hole Classic Turret Press

The bridge between single-stage and progressive. The auto-indexing four-hole turret advances a die per stroke, so a full cartridge cycles without manual die swaps, pushing handgun throughput past 250 rounds per hour while keeping a single case under the dies at a time.

Overview

The Lee Classic Turret is the press that turns a single-stage reloader into a volume reloader without the leap to a progressive. Four dies sit in a removable turret head that auto-indexes one position per handle stroke, so a single case walks through size, expand, seat, and crimp in four pulls without you touching a die. Only one cartridge is in the press at a time, which keeps troubleshooting simple, yet handgun output climbs past 250 rounds per hour. Caliber changes cost the price of another turret head rather than a full conversion kit, because each head holds a dedicated die set pre-adjusted. For a new handgun reloader who already knows they will shoot a lot, this is the smart first press.

Key Features

  • Auto-indexing turret advances one die station per stroke
  • Removable turret heads store complete pre-adjusted die sets per caliber
  • Cast-iron frame with solid steel linkage for rifle case sizing
  • Lee Lever Prime system with large and small primer arms included
  • Handles cartridges up to 3.313 inches overall length

Pros

  • +Auto-indexing pushes handgun output past 250 rounds per hour
  • +Only one case in the press at a time keeps the process easy to learn
  • +Caliber changes cost a turret head, not a full conversion kit
  • +Doubles as a single-stage by removing the auto-index rod

Cons

  • Manual case and bullet handling caps it below true progressive speed
  • Auto-index rod and ratchet wear over very high round counts
  • No onboard case feeding; you place every case by hand
