- This is a Patreon video that has been shortened for publishing on RUMBLE, but also heavily culled for RUclips. - - Ultimate must mean the latest and greatest in a lineage, so the Lee Ultimate Turret Press must be a capable monster. OK, the press can make loaded rounds doing all the sequential steps without having to remove the case from the shellholder. And, by removing the auto index rod, the press is used like any of the other turret presses on the market. We can use the Ultimate Turret as a single stage press and batch a lot of cases with one die at a time. But we can still take advantage of the auto index and case ejection on the Ultimate Turret Press to get sized, deprimed, primed, neck sized and mouth flared brass - load ready brass. Here's a way to do that....
I started first depriming, sizing, wet and dry tumbling my brass, trimming it to uniform lengths quite awhile ago. Originally it was to make things easier on my Dillon RL550B with the flat bearing for the primer bar that is Teflon coated. I wore a couple of those out over the last 20 something years to have motivation to do it a better way now. I have been doing it this way now for a number of years and greatly prefer it this way. You also don't get mid station and suddenly find out the case you have is out of spec or unusable junk. I'd never just fill and rip with my Dillon XL750 either. I have other single stage and turret presses for case prep on that as well. My loads are perfect and work in every gun I have put them in. Some friends have shot mine and commented on how well they functioned and how accurate they shot. That's because I don't get in a hurry and cut corners for speed.
Great editing to comply with CommieTube. Love the busy background.
This video is on RUMBLE!!! See ya there.
That's the place to be
Good morning. I have always(for 45years) always preped cases but not primed. Take care.
Good morning, great video, for me I like prepping on. Single stage never in a hurry. Take care everyone.
Thanks Steve, I think I might need one of these presses..👍🏻
IMO more people (usually newer reloaders) need to start doing more pre case prep in their reloading schedule. Even out of the same box from the same lot I have seen cases that vary as much as 0.008" to 0.010" in length. There's no guarantee the primer pocket is going to fit the new primers right either. Also I use a case gauge and scrap anything that doesn't easily drop in as it's out of spec brass by that point if resizing it doesn't correct it.
Steve, Idk, IMO when you are having to take the time to load the tubes, where is the time savings, what if you get one upside down? again, were is the time savings? I believe that people believe they are going faster because of all the action going on in front of them, rams up and down, things and gadgets moving in and out sliding left to right and then,, Kerplunk!! as the casing drops off the chute into the collection box. as you pointed out, if you use your mind and plan steps through the process, you can speed things up and save a lot of time. and because you handle your brass, it gives you a last chance to sort it out if you felt something wrong with it. good video. peace - Dave
Tried to do 45acp on thd 6 pack and even the lee thru powder expanding die was making the press bend! Felt like something was wrong
What's the general consensus on this press? I'm still on an old rock chucker and thinking of picking one up.
Why not use the 3 station toolhead to do those steps?
Hey FC been a minute but question. Did you go to the star trek cruise 2 for work or pleasure
U tube se no bueno
Do you have experience with 22 Savage Hi-Power? Could you please share that wisdom with me and your subscribers?
Second!
First!
To me, there is no advantage to this. I do it all at the same time.
