Lee powder drum ...works better than ever!
Просмотров 3632 года назад
9mm was over belling cases, or drum wouldn't rotate/return fully. I went old school and now run in "manual" mode. Yes it's an extra step but the payoff is an exact powder charge every load. It take 1/2 a second longer, but we'll worth it, and is almost as fast once you get used to doing it and the muscle memory kicks in.

Lee Classic 4 hole turret press index calibration....A better way.
Very nice idea! Thank you!
I used a turret with dies installed and an appropriate case.
great video and great information
Very nice very nice 👌
Good Idea! Thanks
Niceliy done. Thanks for the tip.
Excelente
Good tip!
Thanks for thinking outside the box, brilliant! Headed down now to index my press.
Wow, that's slick. Thanks !!
Thank you for this excellent tip! Once again, some of the best solutions to problems are through genius simplicity!
CLEVER! Out of the box thinker!
Thank you for taking the time to share your improved process! I've been using the calibrated eyeball method but your methodology is definitely more accurate. The Lee Classic Turret Press does have a few quirks, but overall it's an excellent press.
I purchased replacement damper prior to finding your video. How difficult is it to install the replacement damper. I mean, how much of the 560 will I need to disassemble?
I’m not sure. Both of mine were floor models I got on clearance fully assembled. When I removed the old damper I just too out the fan, reached in and pulled it out, no harm no foul as it was already toast. Good luck with the new one.
Good tip Thanks 😄
I’m waiting for the plastic ratchet replacements I recently ordered to arrive but I’m looking forward to using this trick. Thanks!
How has your replacement flap worked out? Just got an 800 series and wondering if I should do this mod. Thank you for the video!
It's held up geat, been working with no problems at all!
@@kenzaleski5198 awesome! I'll have to give this a go. Thank you
You don't have to unscrew all that to make it work. Just disconnect from the bottom , close to the fan there's 2 connections that go to the sensors. And you can jump each connection, and it'll work
any videos on how to jump it exactly
Thank you!
I can't get mine to index right, I always have to wiggle it slightly to line it up??
This is a great test to show alignment. That being said, there is a index ball in the ring itself. If you are out of alignment you cannot really fix it with the index rod. You would use the die like you've shown, but loosen the 3 bolts on the ring. Center with your method (I have always used a sizer with a case installed) then tighten the bolts down on your turret ring. Ive done a lot of rebuilds, conversions, etc with these. I assure you if that alignment is not right, you will be off.
I have a brand new Lee Classic Turret Press and the indexing rod is giving me fits! I adjust it with the wrench per instructions and it lines up the first die, then the next one goes off by half the diameter of the die! It's like the turret is catching on something and the plastic square at the top of the rod rotates back out of alignment. It's totally unusable as is. Any ideas?
Not sure, but if it's brand new, I'd contact lee before anything. From what I hear they are really good about customer service.
@@kenzaleski5198 I think I figured it out. When I held the indexing rod and turned the turret counter-clockwise to adjust, the square plastic end of the rod was loosened and wouldn't hold its position. When I moved the turret clockwise, it was a larger distance and acted to tighten the rod. So far it's held the index (only 50 rounds loaded so far, just to test it out.) Thanks for this video!
Excellent
LOL. You have made something oh so easy into a process.
Brilliant! Love it!
I've used mine five times, had loaded with full to slow cooking temperature 180. For 10 hours cooking time .3.5 hours into set time , alarm went off fan didn't work anymore. Bought new fan , replace still don't work. Be to find out the problem found this video.thanks
I just bought a reverse indexing rod for my Lee Classic Turret Press, and this is exactly what I'm going to do to ensure its indexing properly. Excellent tip.
Seems like a lot more work than holding the shaft with pliers and turn the turret to the nearest position but if it works for you then great!
Excellent tip. Thank you much.
I don’t get it . The way this press is designed , none of that is needed . There’s a detent ball in the turret ring that indexes with the turret for perfect alignment. Once the turret is installed onto the indexing rod you only need to rotate it into any of the four positions where the indexing ball sets . Then every time you pull the lever , assuming you’re completing the strokes fully , the next station aligns itself with complete precision .
Correct
EXCELENT video. Mine has been off maybe 1/32" and I see the shell moves left at every station indicating it is off alignment. I did not know it was adjustable.
If it doesn’t align, can you show or tell us how to make the alignment adjustment. Thanks,great video.
Lee has a video ( as well there are others out there on YT) on the adjustment process, this merely points out how far off the the adjustment actually is, making easier to see.
The ball bearing in the ring locks the turret at the proper index spot on my Value turret press. As long as index rod gets it close, the turret self aligns to proper spot.
Actually mine wouldn't align, the decapping pin kept getting pushed up. Also, it's just a good indicator as to how far off and in which direction you need to make the adjustments.
Really interested in this, mine melted as well. I was placing an order for a replacement flap but have no idea how to put the new one in
How long after you cut air do you have hot coals? My first time after third burn .. 12 hrs later i still had warm coals that i did not catch till i dropped the hopper
Never had that happen. After a cook I put the steel shut off slides in, after about 2 hrs it's usually cool enough to put back in my garage where I store it.
BRILLIANT. ….. Thanks
You, Sir, are a genius.👍😏
Good tip 👍🏻
genius great job
That is a great tip/method for setting that index rod. 👍 I always just "winged it" and relied on the case going into the die to determine if it was right. This is a much more precise method and doesn't leave you guessing if you got it right. Nicely done!
Good idea .
Great idea.
The ball index is the alignment center.
