Lee Classic Turret press question

gregjc9 · November 19, 2009, 10:03 AM

I just put my order in for one, and wasnt sure if shellholders were included in the kit. Or if seperate shellholders were needed. There was no mention of it on the Lee or Cabela's web site. TIA

The shell holders will be included with the dies, not the press... How are they to know which shell holders you need when buying a press? However the dies are for a specific caliber and include a shell holder for that caliber..

Thanks, I have the 4 die sets for 9mm and .45 also on order.

Yeah, as long as you're buying LEE dies! The other companies, like RCBS DON'T include shell holders.

A complete set of Lee shell holders is inexpensive and worth having on hand, IMHO.

Snuffy, I have ordered Lee dies, and I verified after I posted the question the dies do include the shellholder. I was having an "oh cr@p" moment, and had forgotten they were included with the dies.

Unclenick, I saw that on Cabela's web site, and almost ordered it. I may order it eventually anyway.

if you order the complete set of shell holders, make sure it is NOT the shellholders for the lee auto prime. Those shellholders will only work for the autoprime....and NOT on the press. Good luck!
