Yup, thats exactly how you do it! I pull lever with my left hand and use thumb, index, and middle fingers to precisely align and push slider with index. Every mfg has some quirks👍👍👍
The serrated press pad should have been a "tip off", but you know some times the "duh" part slips thru the cracks. I've seen videos where people put the "Iron Claw" on this little thing. LMAO !
Adjust the bottom of your safety primer arms by setting the clearance to your primer arm. By a Dremel or file. It has to be just right. Take my advice or not. But it works.
@@caseymurphy244 I understand, the problem is you have to much clearance, from the top of your priming arm to the bottom of your lee safety prime . These new lee presses are just a little bit different, not trying to get views on my channel, I don't care. Just trying to help, but look at my channel I have an older video that shows you how to fix it. Good luck.
Great video, thanks for sharing! Just bought a Safety Prime for my Lee turret press and you saved me a ton of dropped primers. At today's prices that's a small fortune. Thanks!
Nicely explained. I recently went thru the set up and found the same issues until developing a touch for it. Thanks for taking your time to make and share.
I can hand prime 100 brass in 5 minutes. And I use Lee's APP press to size and deprime my brass. So the Lee Classic Turret cruises smoothly through the reloading process without trouble.
Just got the exact setup this past week except that I got the value turret press. Loaded 400 9mm round yesterday and never had any issue with setting the primers on the ram. What I did get was the primer ram getting stuck under the case holder on the downward stroke. Took a round needle file to the very sharp edge it rests on and pivots around to smooth the edge and it was fine after that.
Good video, it took me almost a hundred rounds and 15 or so dropped primers before i realized that this is how you had to do it. I also had to figure out how to re-round the large primer arm cup as i somehow managed to squish mine a bit.
I just loaded 500 rounds of 9mm with my LEE classic turret press with my on the press primer dispenser. I had know problems. Not on dropped primer. I think that you have to mess around with the adjustment.
Just set mine up and had the same problem. Thought it was just me, but I guess not. Thanks for the video. I'll try again tomorrow and see if this helps
I got one with my kit. I followed the directions and it worked perfectly. Primed 50 30-30 cases. However, while de-priming (separately) I didn't have the safety prime in and the primers ejected on the right side and onto the floor. Once I noticed what was going on, I resolved it. Rookie mistake.
I filed the mount until it lined up straight. Then I do what you show, putting your thumb on the sweet spot works great, not 100% you can actually feel when it is going to fly out of the plunger and catch it.
Generally, I have more success with small primers than large, but you're right-it takes proper technique to keep the primer from jumping out of the arm "cup." A bit fiddly, but practice is the ticket.
Been reloading for 8 short years, always have touched primers with my index finger, haven’t noticed anything wrong with it. My wife though, she’s had this vag infection ever since. I wonder.
If you adjust the resizing die to where the ram goes all the way to the top it will eliminate your problems with the primers. The problem is there is a gap between the plastic primer dispenser and the primer holder on the press. Good luck.
The correlation is between the plastic primer dispenser and the primer holder on the press, which is determined by where the ram stops at the top. If the ram goes all the way to the VERY top everything will match up perfectly. Of course you must carefully adjust the resizing die so that it bottoms out just when the ram is all the way up, otherwise you may not resize the case correctly.
I have experienced the same issue it is a bigger to get used to and I am still learning but it definitely is a frustrating experience getting it to work.
Eric Johnson... No it does not suck, perhaps you should not be reloading. I have 100% success with all three of mine. Learn it... then appreciate it. If correctly used you should have 100% success as well. Shoot lots and stay safe.

Try a piece of black electrical tape on the base of the press (behind the index rod’s base opening where the index rod comes out of, such that the tape is set parallel to the edge of the bench. A 2-3” strip is fine, and make sure the edge against the index rod gas a tiny flap of tape against the rods back edge (rod edge furthest from the edge of bench) so it muffles the rattle just a little bit but enough so you don’t go bonkers.
the old ones work better. Much better. I used them on my Lee classic turret press for many years but I couldn't get parts for them anymore. I bought a set of these new ones and I was having the exact same problems like in this video . really started getting disgusted about it. this is one of Lee's biggest failures
Agreed. I've had a turret press for about 5 years now with the old style and I don't think I ever dropped a primer. Why mess with something that works?

You know you’re doing it right when you start doing it right..... no truer words have ever been spoken!
I knew I wasn't the only one who found this line to be pure gold!
I guess I'm lucky. I haven't had any issues with mine. I love it.

Wow! So I should use the product as it was designed and it'll work fine. What a concept.
The serrated press pad should have been a "tip off", but you know some times the "duh" part slips thru the cracks. I've seen videos where people put the "Iron Claw" on this little thing. LMAO !
I have the older one and never had any problems simple to use

Have to try that. Just bought a newer press like his. Have the older Value press. Didn't have this issue. But now I do with the new one .

I must have a unicorn. My CTP primer system works great. As long as I remember to prime BEFORE powder charging, all is well.
Thanks for the video . I am having the same issues as you had. I will go down and try this right now.

The downward pressure thing did the trick for me
Nice!

I use this on my challenger press I find you have to lower the ram to line it up first and push forwards
Thank you very much for this video, it was very helpful. Btw Lee has $40 refurbished value turret presses ($30 shipping?) if anyone needs any.
If you adjust the resizing die to where the ram goes all the way to the top it will eliminate your problems with the primers. The problem is there is a gap between the plastic primer dispenser and the primer holder on the press. Good luck.
Conebread theres a correlation between the primer holder and resizing die?

@@conebread711 I get it. Next time I set it up, im gonna check that out.
Thank you so much. What a cluster ef design! I was ready to snap!

How well does the powder dispenser work?
there's another video that shows a fix that came from Lee.
Thanks

Lee should make a primer catch thingymajig to catch all the primers that fall out. This thing sucks

Nouveauté à chier 👌🏼
Its faster putting them in by hand than using this thing. I threw out the indexing rod and the primer.
Mike thats understandable. I haven’t experienced any problems with the indexing rod. It is noisy though
Try a piece of black electrical tape on the base of the press (behind the index rod’s base opening where the index rod comes out of, such that the tape is set parallel to the edge of the bench. A 2-3” strip is fine, and make sure the edge against the index rod gas a tiny flap of tape against the rods back edge (rod edge furthest from the edge of bench) so it muffles the rattle just a little bit but enough so you don’t go bonkers.
Unless you do something really stupid, touching the primers is how it has been done in single stage for ages.

Biggest peace of junk that lee has made . I'm loading with lee for over 30 years and this has to be the worst ever .
