The Lee Precision Classic Turret Press Kit with 4-Hole Auto-Indexing (Model: 90304) is a complete mechanical reloading station designed for handgun and moderate-volume rifle ammunition. Built on a rigid cast-iron base with all-steel linkage, the press features a 3.5-inch ram stroke and an auto-indexing 4-hole turret that automatically advances to the next die position with every handle stroke. This allows reloaders to deprime, resize, prime, charge, seat, and crimp a cartridge in continuous sequence without manually changing dies. The entire kit operates mechanically with zero electrical requirements and utilizes standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies, making it fully compatible with standard Australian shooting sports reloading components.

Key Features

• Semi-Automated Turret Linkage: Advances the 4-hole turret automatically on each stroke to complete a finished round in continuous steps, delivering an output exceeding 250 rounds per hour for handgun ammunition.
• Cast-Iron and Steel Construction: Built with a cast-iron frame, all-steel linkage, and a hardwood ball grip, contributing to a total shipping weight of approximately 17.5 lbs (~7.9 kg) for rigid bench-mounted stability.
• Through-Ram Waste Disposal: Directs spent primers down through the centre of the hollow ram into a clear PVC collection tube to keep work surfaces free of debris.
• Dual-Mode Operation: Auto-indexes cartridges with overall lengths up to 3.313 to 4.0 inches, or converts into a manual single-stage press for magnum rifle cases over 4 inches (101.6 mm) simply by removing the central index rod.
• Comprehensive Tooling Kit: Includes the 4-Hole Classic Turret Press, Deluxe Auto-Drum Powder Measure with riser, Large and Small Safety Prime tools, Safety Powder Scale, Case Conditioning Combo, sizing lube, and the Modern Reloading Second Edition manual.

Who is the Lee Precision Classic Turret Press Kit for?

• Handgun sport shooters — requires a sustained production rate exceeding 250 rounds per hour using an auto-indexing 4-hole turret system that deprimes, primes, charges, and seats pistol cartridges in continuous sequence on a 3.5-inch ram stroke.
• Hunters and standard rifle target shooters — requires the versatility to load ammunition up to 3.313 to 4.0 inches in cartridge overall length in auto-indexing mode, or cartridges measuring over 4.0 inches (101.6 mm) in manual-indexing mode, supported by a 17.5 lbs cast-iron turret press platform.

Less suitable for: High-volume competitive shooters requiring 500+ rounds per hour (who are better served by a fully progressive reloading press), or ultra-large calibres such as .50 BMG that exceed the 7/8"-14 die threads and 3.5-inch stroke geometry (which require a dedicated large-bore single-stage press).
