If you sized a case, you could see the turret tilt. I had to put a feeler gauge under the opposite side to avoid wrinkling cases.

I 'batch' reload, so running 50 cases through and then moving turret and feeler gauge wasn't all that big a deal. But I expected more. There was no way you could run it as a progressive,.

The Lee was supposed to be a replacement for my RCBS Rockchucker. I ended up using both, as single stage presses.

Now I have another Rockchucker. I set my dies up for it and the accompanying shell holder and I'm a happy camper.
