Looks like a Lee Classic Turret press. Nice ! I've got the old style turret press and a Classic Cast single stage. My turret press has seen better days,,,might be upgrading and hanging on to it for small stuff.

Nice, For years i saved and bought the high dollar stuff, Then I discovered how much money I didnt have to spend on quality. Lee makes some great stuff at a reasonable price. If i could do it over again, I would have started, and probably continued with a lot of Lees products. Good luck

Thats what I got, Lee Classic Turret couldn't be happier, I was given a Lee Progessive press, which I tried out, but I have found the Lee Turret is more reliable.

So far its working great. I loaded 40 rounds of 38 spl and have already spent them all. They all went bang so I guess I loaded them right. They held a much tighter group than the mfg's reloads I've been buying. I guess there's something to that claim that your own hand loads are better than manufactured ammo. Anyway thanks for the post Woolleyworm and thanks for the die's they work great.
