This is the Lee Classic Turret Press built into a kit that's already set up for .40 S&W, which takes a lot of the guesswork out of getting started. Instead of buying a bare press and sourcing dies separately, you get the press plus a carbide 3-die set matched to the cartridge, so you can prep brass and load rounds without chasing down extra parts. The press itself runs on a cast iron frame with solid steel linkage and a hardwood-gripped lever, and that heft shows up in how smooth each stroke feels once you're into a rhythm.
The heart of the system is the four-hole turret with auto-indexing. The turret rotates to the next die on its own as you cycle the lever, which gives you a semi-progressive feel while still loading one round at a time. That means you keep eyes on every case, every powder charge, and every primer, which is exactly what a lot of folks want when they're learning or when they just like to stay dialed in. Swapping calibers later is as simple as popping in a different loaded turret, no re-adjusting dies every time.
Because the included 3-die set uses carbide, there's no case lube step for straight-wall .40 S&W brass, which keeps the process cleaner and faster. The Deluxe Auto Drum powder measure handles charging, and the Safety Prime system lets you seat primers right on the press with both large and small cups covered. The oversized ram is drilled all the way through to drop spent primers into a tube, so your bench stays tidy.
Most reloaders settle into somewhere around 150 to 250 rounds per hour once they're comfortable with the auto-index and priming rhythm. It won't match a full progressive, but for feeding regular range sessions it's a sweet spot of speed, control, and value. The build quality is the kind people tend to pass down rather than replace.
No. This is the caliber-specific kit, so it ships with a carbide 3-die set already matched to .40 S&W. You get the full-length carbide sizing die, powder-through expanding die, and bullet seating die, plus a universal shell holder and load data, so you can start loading without sourcing dies separately.
For straight-wall .40 S&W cases, no. The carbide sizing die lets you skip the case lube step, which keeps the whole process cleaner and quicker. That's one of the nice perks of a carbide pistol die set.
Once you get into a steady rhythm with the auto-index and Safety Prime, most reloaders land somewhere in the 150 to 250 rounds per hour range. It won't keep pace with a dedicated progressive, but it's a strong balance of speed and control that works great for keeping up with regular range sessions.
Yes. The press itself handles a wide range of pistol and rifle cartridges thanks to its four-hole turret and nearly 4 inches of clearance. To switch calibers you'll pick up an extra turret and the appropriate die set, and you can swap the loaded turret in seconds. For longer rifle rounds you can deactivate the auto-index and batch load.
