Inside look @ the 2018 Lee Value Turret and Breech lock Pro Press for new Reloader's 

Kenny, do you still want to keep this link up?

How much does it cost i want to buy

I’m about to buy my 1st press. To load .50 gi. Thanks for the vid. May get the lee value turret

The Reloadin Room, Thanks brother. As always I look forward to your weekly recaps.

Thank-you very much. I really appreciate it. If there is something you want to specifically see let me know 👍

Tye Miller, Your welcome. let me know if there is anything you specifically want to see

Hey thanks op25ttfd! The Breech Lock Challenger is deffinatly and awesome press as well. The Kit you got will produce ammo better than factory. Folks like West Desert Shooter use that press and he's hitting targets at 1 mile!

Thank-you brother. Welcome!

Hey brother! No worries. Ya I agree. Thats why I think the turret head swap is a good idea. Unfortunately you can no longer buy the turret upgrade kit. But I bet if you call Lee they can ship it and itll be cheaper

I think im going to get another 1 to up ingot production 😂 Thank-You for watching!

Awesome! Thank-you for that. Hope this somewhat persuades to join this art? If you ever need help let me know. Our lil niche community is very helpfull

Jeff Huntley, If you get the adjustable charge bar for the Auto Disk. The adjustable charge bar really fine tunes to .2gr increments per hash. That measure is perfect for fine ball powders like CFE BLK/ H110 ect. Grab some brass knurled screws like the one on the upgrade kit at ur local store. Crank down on it and this measure wont leak at all. I set the charging die so that the bar will slide and stop about 1/8 before the front. I use the Lee auto drum strictly for extruded powder as it does a great job from not cutting the grains. I like the chain system for the auto disk for the safety fact of not being able to double charge

Hey Mike Treen! Honestly I think you should aswell. Many take in different view points besides I think you do better haha. I found this and actually I took this idea and used a heavy duty zip tie which worked great LoL rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F112672597818

I agree, this may better suit those who already have a powder system and such. I still feel the primer system beats the loadmaster or just priming off the press

Absolutely! I love how every time you call them your not getting transferred unless you need to talk to a tech. Even the receptionist know all the features in their press

m holman, Im curious as well on the 2018 pro 1000. I dedicated my older pro1000 to 9mm and 45. It really pumps them out. Thanks for watching!

Brandon Lau, Yes I can. Ill see if I can get to that soon. They put these upgrades aswell on that model for this year. One thing hindering is the fact its only 3 stations. So a factory crimp die is outta the equation

Eagle Eye Shooting I have a pro 1000 set up for .223 and am considering the new breech. Trying to decide which to use for some .45 acp. Also want the new turret for my .308 for the AR-10. What are your thought?

Brandon Lau, I use my Breech Lock Pro mostly for 300AAC. I think this press will work fantastic for 223. I leave station 3 open so I can look down the case for a visual powder check and also convenience of setting a bullet on the case. Both the Pro1000 and Breech Lock Pro have a pretty stiff indexing spring behind the detent ball so loading pistol cases or cases with near 100% capacity it will pop some powder out once index. I did a mod to both reducing spring pressure. One thing about the pro 1000 is it's alot of tinkering. You can get the primer system to work as long as its clear of debris. I made a little primer pusher to help assist. And clocking the shell plate sometimes gets out of adjustment. The Breechlock pro is a huge upgrade to the shellplate alignment as it uses a pin to center it. And honestly the primer arm system is just a more positive feel knowing you have set a primer even though it requires one more step. Ill try to get a video to compare both.

As for precision reload's it certainly can be done using this press. Infact i think you can progressive the 308 as it has lots of room. But I prefer the turret press in conjunction with the Lee Universal Expanding die and NOE expander plug. It centers the boolit perfectly and can set neck tension. With the turret press I feel u can be more intimate with your loads and all the fine details

It would be awesome to see the 2018 pro 1000 🆚 the old one..

They should contact you about that mount using it upside down haha. Thanks Charlie!

I mounted a turret press upside down and used that for years. Since I decap and primer pocket swage lots of brass, this suits all my needs

Ive loaded many precision rifle rounds for ELR 1 mile+ using Lee dies. The collet die is my recommendation. As for the autodrum, if using fine ball powder the auto drum will leak on you (regardless of what folks suggest as a fix) I have 5 of them and all leak with ball powder. I use the Lyman Brass smith that is mounted above my press with a braket made by TreeTopFlier. Its easy to make. 7/8 nut welded on square tubing. The priming system on the breech lock pro is the best Lee makes, however its still finicky. If you want a painless smooth setup and are loading volume (1k or more on average) I suggest the Dillion 750. For case processing, look into the new Lee App press. Lee presses are well suited for those who don't mind small amounts of tinkering and self ingenuity

@@EagleEyeShooting You mentioned the Lyman Brass Smith...I run a Lyman 55...does the brass smith use the same 7/8" x 14 thread adapter to fit into the lee pass through die? I want to use this as its the most accurate and consistent powder drop I have ever used. Lee kit drops are ok, but I'm either leaking H110 or cutting 4064...if so how is that configured into the lee die?

Rob Tee, Thanks for watching! Im using the Lee .365 to .75 length bullet feeder system. Works good from 115 to 145gr cast bullets Here: amzn.to/2u7wUou

Hello, I no longer am using that tool desk. Switched to inline fab mount. By far the best press mounting system out there

danietkissenle, Infact yes its the same base. The ram is different of on the breech lock pro as well as the post of course. I kinda wish they put the Lee logo on the breechlock base like they did in the turret lol

I believe they are now selling items separately unfortunately. Titan reloading has the best prices for Lee items and occasionally has promotions. (I'm not an affiliate for them).

Eagle Eye Shooting I saw your video where you put the turret ring and tool head on the breech lock pro press. I’m actually trying to do the same. Did you ever find a way to make it load progressively without manual index?

LIVIN CINCY, Ya some dies such as the bullet seater you'll remove the ring and strickly use the lock ring eliminator. I really like it as you wont loose adjustment for dies as mentioned

Long action cartridges like the ot six won't index without catching. Manually indexing takes advantage of a single stage turret press style for precision rifle cartridges

Hmmm well let's see, Station 1 Decap resize, #2 Flare and Powder Drop, #3 Bullet seat.... O crap no more stations for a factory crimp die... Lol having only 3 stages is a huge downfall. Yes you can prime and prep your cases first on the press but then your resetting up your dies twice... Ya the bullet seating dies have a built in roll crimp but they're not good for cast lead or plated bullets. The FCD is far superior. If the Lee pro 1000 was at least a 4 stage operation yes that would be a better choice.. O and dont forget the un reliable priming system of that press. The newer 2018 model I can't speak the same about the priming as I haven't had experience with that press yet. Too each there own I guess😉

buena prensa pero no puedo qué para el nuevo Lee Auto Processing Press👍

The classic has a thicker ram and in my opinion build better. I believe the classic has a little more room for taller cartridges also. The value utilizes the newer style primer arms that don't fall out

Eagle Eye Shooting Kenny I’m new to reloading being watching your videos and others. Should I go for the classic in your opinion

Tyler Imp, The rock chucker is a fabulous press with a solid feel. The only annoyance you'll find is removing and setting up dies per stage which can really increase time. IMO id have 1 setup just for resizing. If looking for a robust press with more than one stage. The Lee Value Turret will hold up pretty good bolt it down solid or get the Inline Fab base for it. Id use Unique Case Lube for lubing cases. Itll save you and the press lol. If you have the funds Id look into the Lyman All American 8 Turret

three base is thick aluminum solid piece not casted

Eagle Eye Shooting so the value turret is not cast iron? I thought the ad said it was but maybe not

Eagle Eye Shooting would I be able to auto index with 8mm mauser? They use a .323 projectile

Tyler Imp, Just tested the base with a magnet and yes its ferrous metal lol it sticks! So cast iron? It looks like anodized aluminum

Thats the Husky bench from Home Depot😁

It was in operative....... thanks for the observation. Kinda common sense. But you know the saying. Common sense aint common

@@EagleEyeShooting My bad. I can be a bit too obsessive. ;) BTW, this is an excellent video. Very informative. Thank you.

I recommend the Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro over the 1000

@@EagleEyeShooting I'm trying to get a loadmaster for under $500.

LM also has primer issues. Not as bad. You can alternatively prim fast off press using the new Lee ACP press

Ive been priming off the press for bulk 223 and 300AAC rifle cartridges. For pistol I found a good rhythm while relying on a bullet feeder and micro sw buzzer. Im able to keep up with a load master with 100% reliable primed cases in 9mm using the newer design safety primer. I still think the priming system for all Manufacturers blue to red lol fights this issue. It's easier to just watch a game with a bowl of cases and a forester hand primer😁👍

Bruno Rodrigues, lol never stated that. I actually really like the load master... Just never got around to buying one. Eventually someday

Josue Guzman, I wish they came out with something new for this press. Honestly out of all of the priming systems offered by lee. This one works the best for me. The others have to much tinkering imo

@@EagleEyeShooting I prefer to resize and deprime first then check and trim for case length, Prime with the bench prime then proceed.

Actually your assuming I spent a lot.... majority was traded for....
