Hey Flamethrower, are you familiar with the Lee Deluxe Turret Press Kit??? On another forum they were discussing it. I got the impression that it'll do .50bmg AND it's a turret press. If so, and I could set it up for just a little more than the classic cast with .50 bmg kit, then I'd rather go that way. The deluxe doesn't come with dies like the classic with the .50 kit. but it comes with some other stuff, looks to be a super deal. Just don't know how to compare the two moneywise. Can somebody that knows their stuff go look at the two and come up witha ballpark price for me to do .50 bmg for now. Just can't see buying the single stage when/IF I can get a turret capable of doing .50 for a little more money. I know pretty much nothing bout loading at this point so I don't know what all to figure up on the deluxe to compare its price to the classic cast with the .50 kit. If somebody can do this for me and give me the rundown i'd greatly appreciate it!!!!
I am a Lee dealer. To my knowledge the turret will not do 50bmg. The press is is NOT strong enough, not large enough, and the turret holes will not accomadate either 1-1/4' or 1-1/2" dies.
I do not believ anyone currently makes a turret or progressive press for 50 bmg. You are best off with a single stage for 50bmg at this point. There really is nothing else, unless you want to move up to a hydraulic machine and you have $8,000 to spend.
If you want to load smaller than 50bmg, than go with the 650, get the video all the needed equipment and several good manuals.
If you want I can also sell you Dillon equipment at a better price than most if you are interested.
