...so I haven't and won't search(right away at least)

Lee 3 hole turret press, apparently works, no idea what it comes with yet, $35 locally on CL

I've never realoaded, but it's on my list. I don't have the coin for a uber nice setup and won't for a while, but thought maybe this would be decent to learn on and figure out what I really want when the time comes to spend $$$.

Input pleeze....

The little 3 hole Lee is cheap so if it comes with stuff (dies, extra turrets, and/or autodisk powder measure) you will be getting a great deal however it isn't bad I would give 25 for the press.

Does it come with the auto index?
How many spare heads?

Don't know yet, haven't gotten a reply from the seller.

It's just the 3 hole model. Dude has 7mm dies and some random(like 20 of this, 4 of that, 1 of these, 2 thoses) brass. He wants $20 for the brass and $25 for the dies.

I think I'm gonna try to grab the press just cause. I can shop around for whatever else I need and be picky about the accessories.

Can't wait, fresh squeezed O.J. is THE BEST

I bought a Lee Turret Press to get into reloading a few months ago. The only problems I have with it are that there is more play in the head than I would like and for some reason I have to guide the cases into the decaping/sizing die by hand. If you just place the case in the shell holder and pull down on the handle the case will catch the edge of the die. This may be a problem with the dies though

Right now I only reload for 9mm and seems to work fine for that but when I start reloading for my rifles I think I'll pick up a single stage press.

As a side note the powder scale that comes with the kit I bought sucks. It works but it's a pain in the ass to use and will probably be upgraded when I start reloading for rifles.
