That's the Lee Classic 4 Hole Turret Press. The best turret press made. I've used the Lee 4 hole turrets for years. I still have the cast aluminum model that I used for years until the the cast iron classic came out. The classic cast iron model has a much better primer catcher than the older model. It has a tube at the bottom of the ram that collects them.
You can get a new one at Midwayusa.com for $125.00 or you can get the whole delux kit for $215.00 that includes everything.
The one in the auction looks a little rough. Somebody hasn't taken very good care of it.

For $62 I think somebody got a bargain. 3 -
The lee turret press is a dam good press other than the plastic bushing that wraps around the turning spindle. This part wear out if you use the press a lot and it will not auto index. You can still index by hand. Lee used to give you those to press owners for free and always good to have spares.
Lee progressives are junk.3 -
That's the same press I have. I've loaded thousands of rounds with it. The only issue I had with anything from Lee, was a sizing die that had a burr in it. I called Lee and 3 days later I received a new die, no charge, no questions asked. 0 -
I wasn’t going to get in a bidding war with a n.r. buyer. I can casually load 50 pistol cartridges in an hour on my Rockchucker. Good enough for now. 3 -
that is sorta my feeling Jim, those rockchuckers might not be the fastest, but neither am I any more......jimdeere said:I wasn’t going to get in a bidding war with a n.r. buyer. I can casually load 50 pistol cartridges in an hour on my Rockchucker. Good enough for now.0 -
I wonder if the buyer figured out where to put the distributor??? 0 -
If going slow is your intention which it sounds like it is then the turret press can be used as a single stage press. I don't know why you would when you can put all your dies on one plate and turn them instead of changing them out every time you go from one process to the other. To each their own.hillbille said:

The only problem I ever had with the plastic bushing you speak of on my old press was the treads stripping out but that was easily solved by just putting in a little longer screw and putting a nut on it. Hard telling how many thousands of rounds I loaded on it and never wore out that part. 0 -
I bought a Lee Turret press with the thinking I could set up different disks for the cartridges I would load. I still have it, new in the box. I have yet to set myself up a place to reload. 0 -

Thanks Smitty, I've given out a lot of them, but this may be the first I've received. 0
