Description
The Lee 6 Station Ultimate Turret Press Kit chambered for .223 Remington is the all-steel evolution of the Classic Turret that so many reloaders cut their teeth on. The press keeps the heavy Big Press compound toggle linkage, the same style used on Lee's Classic Cast 50 BMG press, so sizing stubborn rifle brass takes less grunt than you'd expect. That massive 28.4mm ram rides through 82mm of solid steel, which translates to serious support and rock-steady die alignment every pull of the lever. The through-ram primer disposal tube routes spent primers down and out of the way, keeping grit off the base and ram.
What Sets the Ultimate Turret Press Apart
Instead of a traditional turret, this press uses a precision-machined steel tool carrier that locks into a surrounding support ring. That perimeter support is the whole ballgame here, it eliminates die tipping and keeps everything square for better consistency. The kit ships with a six-hole carrier plus two indexing rods, so you can set it up for three stations or six depending on how you like to work. Every downstroke automatically advances the carrier to the next position, and the index mechanism has just one moving part that's overload protected and swappable in seconds without tools.
Dialing In Your .223 Loads
The Breech Lock system means each die stays set, so you can pull dies and store them in a fitted box without losing your adjustments. The Deluxe Auto Drum powder measure mounts right on the press and meters charges as you go, which is a big time saver over hand-trickling every round. An automatic case ejector whisks finished rounds into the included bin so you're not fishing them out by hand.
A Smart Fit for Moderate Volume Reloaders
This setup lives in that sweet spot between a slow single-stage and a full progressive. Experienced hands running an auto-indexing turret commonly see around 150 to 250 rounds per hour on pistol calibers, and rifle work on .223 runs at a comfortable, deliberate rhythm. The roller handle grip keeps things smooth through long sessions, and caliber changeovers go quickly when you want to load something else down the road.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Ultimate Turret Press Kit come with a full set of .223 dies?
This .223 Remington kit includes a charging die for use with the Deluxe Auto Drum powder measure, but it does not include a complete sizing and seating die set the way the handgun kits do. You'll want to add a Lee .223 Remington die set to get fully up and running. That's typical for the rifle versions of this kit.
Can I run this press for both three and six stations?
Yes. The kit ships with a six-hole tool carrier and two indexing rods, so you can configure it for three stations or six depending on your workflow. Swapping the rod changes how far the carrier rotates with each stroke, so you can match the setup to how many operations you want to run.
How does the Ultimate Turret Press compare to the Classic Turret?
The Ultimate Turret is the upgraded, all-steel evolution of the Classic Turret. It carries the heavy Big Press compound toggle linkage and a massive 28.4mm steel ram with perimeter tool carrier support, which makes sizing rifle brass like .223 noticeably smoother and keeps die alignment tight. It's built to handle stronger pressures than the lighter Classic design.
Do I need to buy anything else to use this kit?
Beyond a .223 Remington die set, the bench plate and press stand are not included, so you'll need a sturdy bench and a way to mount the press. A set of calipers and load data are also smart to have on hand. Most reloaders also keep spare primers, powder, brass, and bullets stocked before starting a session.
