I notice with my Lee Classic Turret press (LCT) that when seating the bullet, the turret does indeed raise up a bit. As @std7mag mentions, you can set the die depth with the ram raised to compensate for that flex, but to me, it is still very hard to get a consistent seating depth as compared to a solid single-stage or with my new Dillon XL650.

I expected my Dillon to have a similar flexing issue, but since I have started using with the same seating die (Redding Competition Seating die) I notice a much higher level of consistency and accuracy in the COAL as compared with the LCT.

That being said, the LCT is a sweet little press, and I love it. For the price, it is the best deal in the industry. Fast, accurate and reliable with a safe and consistent priming system. The variation in COAL is my only issue, and it is honestly not *that* bad, but compared to the Dillon, I definitely notice a difference.
