Lee's Ultimate Turret Press is the all-steel step up from the much-loved Classic Turret, and this kit arrives configured specifically for 38 Special with everything you need to start loading. The heart of it is a five-hole steel tool carrier that auto-indexes a fresh die into position with every pull of the handle, so you build a finished round in a natural rhythm without juggling dies. One case stays in the press at a time, which keeps the whole process easy to follow and makes this a great bridge between a slow single-stage and a full progressive.
The press retains Lee's powerful Big Press linkage and the circumferential tool head support that sets their turrets apart. That perimeter support means the carrier is held all the way around rather than just in the center, so there's no tipping under load. A through-ram primer disposal tube routes spent primers down and away from the steel base, keeping grit off the ram, and the formed lever with its roller handle grip is comfortable through long sessions on the bench.
Run it with the auto-index engaged and most reloaders settle in around 150 to 200 rounds per hour on pistol brass, with experienced hands pushing past that. If you'd rather slow down and work a single step at a time, the auto-index can be disabled in seconds, turning the press into a single-station tool for load development or troubleshooting.
The included Lee breech lock 3-die set uses a carbide full-length sizing die, so you skip case lubing entirely on your 38 brass. You also get a powder-through expanding die and a bullet seating die, plus load data in the instructions. The Deluxe Auto Drum powder measure meters charges consistently, the Safety Scale lets you verify every setup, and the Medium Inline Bullet Feed Magazine helps keep things moving. Swapping to another caliber later is as simple as dropping in a new turret head, so this press grows with you.
With the auto-index engaged, most reloaders comfortably run 150 to 200 rounds per hour on pistol calibers like 38 Special, and experienced hands can push past that. Because it indexes a die with every stroke while keeping one case in the press, you get a faster rhythm than a single-stage without the complexity of a progressive. Running batches of 50 or 100 at a time is common and keeps quality checks easy.
No. The Lee breech lock 3-die set in this kit uses a carbide full-length sizing die, which lets you size straight-wall 38 Special cases without any case lube. That saves a messy step and speeds up your workflow right out of the box.
Yes. The auto-index feature can be disabled in a few seconds, which lets you work one die and one step at a time like a single-stage press. That makes it handy for load development or when you want to slow down and troubleshoot, then re-enable auto-indexing just as quickly.
Absolutely. The five-hole tool carrier can be lifted out and swapped for another turret already set up in a different caliber, so changing calibers takes seconds instead of re-adjusting dies. You'll just need the appropriate die set and turret head for the new caliber, and many reloaders keep extra turrets pre-configured for each cartridge they load.
