I read that measurement on another forum (for the Lee). If I can find it again I will post the result. Someone else will have to post the Lyman figure.
However, to a certain extent, the figures are not comparable. The Lyman turret, when it lifts, tilts, as it is constrained at the center and rear of the turret disk.
The Lee turret lifts the front edge (tilting) at first, but then lifts both the front and rear very soon thereafter, as the Lee turret disk is constrained around the periphery. Thus, the Lee will maintain (in theory) alignment of the die with the ram.
In practice, I think the difference is not going to be detectable in group size by any but the finest-performing firearms.
