Description
Lee's Ultimate Turret Press is the all-steel heavyweight of the Lee turret lineup, built around the same Big Press compound toggle linkage you'll find on their 50 BMG press. That means it muscles through tough brass with ease and has enough stroke to handle the longest magnum cartridges. Add in auto indexing, circumferential tool head support, and room for six dies, and you've got a press that lands right between a single stage and a full progressive in both speed and flexibility.
What Sets the Ultimate Turret Apart
The magic here is the perimeter support. The tool carrier is precision machined and fitted to a steel support ring that surrounds the turret, with just enough clearance to index freely while keeping your dies from tipping. That translates to better alignment and more consistent ammo. Every downstroke automatically advances the carrier to the next station, and the index mechanism has only one moving part that's overload protected, so it holds up to real use. If it ever does get damaged, the drive clutch swaps out in seconds without tools.
Loading on the 6 Station Ultimate Turret
The six-hole turret ships with two index rods so you can set it up for a 3 or 6 station workflow depending on what you're loading. That extra real estate means you can run a standard die set alongside a bullet feeder, a powder check die, or a factory crimp die without crowding things. A case ejector whisks finished rounds into the included bin, and the through-ram primer disposal routes spent primers down and away from the base, keeping grit off the ram. The formed lever and roller handle grip make long sessions comfortable and the balanced design won't drop and pinch your fingers.
Caliber Flexibility and Everyday Use
With auto index engaged the press handles cartridges up to 3 inches, and deactivating the index lets you load cases over 4 inches by advancing the turret manually. Experienced hands can run upward of 200 rounds an hour on pistol calibers. Note this is the press by itself, so you'll want to pair it with a die set and powder measure to start cranking out rounds. Proudly made in the USA.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Ultimate Turret Press come with dies or a powder measure?
No, this is the press-only version. It includes the turret, index rods, Safety Prime, roller handle, bin and bracket, caliber change wrench, and primer disposal tube, but you'll need to add a die set and powder measure separately. If you'd rather start with everything in one box, Lee offers caliber-specific Ultimate Turret kits.
Can the 6 Station Ultimate Turret Press be used as a single stage?
Yes. The press auto indexes with every downstroke for faster batch loading, but you can deactivate the index and advance the turret by hand. Running it manually also lets you load longer cartridges over 4 inches that exceed the 3-inch auto index limit.
What makes the Ultimate Turret different from the Lee Classic Turret?
The Ultimate steps up to an all-steel build with the Big Press compound toggle linkage borrowed from Lee's 50 BMG press, giving it more muscle for tough brass and long magnum cases. It also adds circumferential perimeter support around the turret to eliminate die tipping, plus a case ejector and up to six die stations instead of four.
How many rounds per hour can you load on this press?
With everything dialed in, experienced reloaders can run well over 200 rounds an hour on pistol calibers. It won't match a full progressive, but it's a big jump over a single stage thanks to the auto indexing. The six stations also let you run a bullet feeder or powder check die alongside your standard dies.
