Description
This is the caliber-specific version of Lee's well-loved Classic Turret Press, set up for 9mm Luger right out of the gate. Instead of making you hunt down a die set separately, the carbide 3-die set comes already matched to the kit, so you've got sizing, expanding, and seating handled the moment you unbox it. For anyone stepping up from a single stage or just wanting a faster way to feed a 9mm habit, this is about as turnkey as it gets.
What Sets the Classic Turret Press Apart
The heart of this kit is the Classic Turret, which borrows the solid steel linkage and sturdy iron base from Lee's Classic Cast press. That first pull of the hardwood-gripped lever tells you right away this thing is built heavy and runs smooth. The rigid cast iron frame supports the ram over roughly 12 square inches of area, and that big ram is drilled all the way through so spent primers drop into an attached clear tube instead of scattering across your bench. The four-hole instant-change turret lets you rotate through your dies without stopping, and with the auto-index engaged you can turn out handgun ammo at a good clip. Pop in a turret for another caliber and you're swapping setups in seconds.
Everything in the Classic Turret Press Kit
Along with the press and carbide dies, you get the Safety Prime for easy on-press priming and the Deluxe Auto Drum Powder Measure, which throws consistent charges across a wide range of handgun and small rifle powders. Lee also rounds things out with case conditioning tools and a Safety Powder Scale so you can verify your charges before they go downrange.
While it's dialed in for 9mm, the press itself is plenty versatile. Rifle cases over three inches load fine with auto-index running, and if you deactivate it you can batch-load cases over four inches. It's a practical, hard-working foundation for a home bench that won't feel outgrown anytime soon.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Lee Classic Turret Press Kit come with 9mm dies, or do I need to buy them separately?
This 92113 version includes the carbide 3-die set for 9mm Luger right in the box, so you don't need to buy dies separately. That's the main difference between this caliber-specific kit and the base Classic Turret Press Kit, which ships without dies. You will still need a shell holder appropriate for 9mm.
Is this Classic Turret Press good for a first-time reloader?
It's a popular starting point for folks moving up from a single stage or jumping straight into their first press. The auto-indexing turret lets you load a complete round without stopping to swap dies, which keeps things simple and consistent. Many new reloaders knock out a few hundred rounds their first weekend once it's set up.
Can the Lee Classic Turret Press load calibers other than 9mm?
Yes. The press itself handles everything from small handgun rounds to larger rifle cartridges. You'll just need the correct die set, turret, and shell holder for each additional caliber, and with the instant-change turret you can swap between them in seconds.
How does the press handle spent primers?
The ram is drilled completely through so spent primers fall down into an attached clear tube rather than piling up on your bench. It keeps your work area clean and makes cleanup painless. The Safety Prime system then handles seating fresh primers on the press.
