Lee Turret press?

I didn't get:
Lee Auto-Disk Powder Measure Swivel Adapter
Lee Auto-Disk Adjustable Powder Charge Bar
Lee Auto-Disk Powder Measure Riser
Lee Safety Prime Small and Large Primer Feeder

The adjustable charge bar is on my wish list, and maybe the primer feeder.

You will need a scale and, someday soon, a bullet puller.

Are you using the Lee charge bar or is there an aftermarket option that works better? Going to setup each turret with a powder dispenser so I don't have to make major adjustments

I use the Lee adj. charge bar. I also set up each turret with its own powder dispenser.

I agree with the guys on the charge bar. That is what I use also. With the charge bar, you can get spot on powder drops.

Pat, I hand prime nearly everything I load, except I'm moving to priming on the press when using my Load Master. I think I have an extra primer feeder if you would like to try it. If you like it, we can work out a deal. I also have an ajustable charge bar, if you'd like to try one before buying one. It's going to be a few weeks before I'll be using either of them and they're yours to try if you want.

Silvor, I have a nearly new Lee Powder Scale that I have used one time. If you are interested, I can either sell it to you (cheaply) or we could possibly barter. I have been using my Pact, Digital scale and love it. I only wish I had bought all three the guy had on ebay. I paid 50% of their retail, and they were brand new. The only time I used the Lee, was when I first got the Pact and I just wanted to double check (verify) the digital, was throwing exact weights.

I have all of them except the powder messure bar, I also got the lee carbide .45 acp die's, I am waiting for delivery of bench, digital scale, lymans 49th edition book, my set up was the lee delux reloading kit, I also orderd a bullet puller, and I got a military surplus 50 cal ammo can , just added precaution for storing powder, and I will get one for primers. I have never reloaded before so I will be taking this slow!!! this will be interesting and fun I think, any recommendations on other books I will need?? oh I also orderd a set of precition weights.

An ammo can filled with powder is a bomb, FYI. Best off leaving the bottles on a shelf out of the sun.

First off, it looks like you are doing everything correctly. I'm impressed. Nice going.

One other thing to think of as you progress.
I make sure that my reloading room is climate controlled.
I have a dehumidifier in my room with several humidistats and keep the humidity to a constant 40 during the summer months.
This keeps all of my presses, components, firearms, etc. in good functional shape.
I have had to dip into my many year old [factory original] container of Bullseye Power recently and it too has remained in great condition because of this.

Just another thing for you to think on.
