Can this press prime just like the turret press or do you need an off the press primer?

I only use it for re-sizing cast bullets but would guess you'd need an off press primer.

You will need a hand primer. I believe only the more expensive progressive presses will prime

Not all of lee presses will prime the case. But I use rcbs universal had priming tool. I have a rcbs turret press and don't use it to prime with because the hand tool give a better feel for when you are priming you cases. There are other reasons I use this tool. Also rcbs presses have a lifetime warranty. Ifsomething breaks on your press, call Rcbs and they will send you the needed part free of charge. This includes die parts also.

I use the lee ram prime. Doesn't give me hand cramps like the hand primers will when doing a lot of seating and gives good "feel".

You can use an Lee Ram Prime unit if you prefer to prime on the press: http://www.amazon.com/Lee-LP90106-Precision-Ram-Prime/dp/B00162UGQE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1390438836&sr=8-1&keywords=lee+ram+prime

I have a Classic Turret press. I am not sure if the device will work on your press. The mount for the Classic Turret press bolts on to the top of the turret frame. The angle that you position the primer feed to line up with the primer cup is extremely important for reliable feeding of primers into the primer cup. With the Classic turret cup the adjustment of the primer feed mount is completed by loosing the bolt and moving the mount back and forth until it is lined up. The design is simple but frustrating at first. Once the press is set up it functions very well. I have loaded 4000 rounds of 9mm this year with very little problems. I have a Classic Turret press.

You probably mean the fourth die as the powder through expander die? That's used for progressive and turret presses to charge powder on the press using at least (that I know of) the Lee auto-disk powder measure.So you won't need the powder die for that, but you still would need it to flare the case.You definitely need to crimp 9mm. The seating die technically can crimp, but the FCD does a much better job. I think you can accidentally set the seater die to the point where it roll crimps, and that would be bad for 9mm.

Possibly. It depends on the REASON the primer won't seat to its proper depth. The Auto Prime will allow you to use reasonable force to seat a stubborn primer if it is not obstructed by debris, a military crimp, or deformed primer pocket. The force available in your press could detonate such a primer, which is obviously a bad thing. If the Auto Prime won't seat it with normal hand pressure, consider discarding the improperly primed case for safety.

No. Mine came with the bracket that supports that tray & feeder. As well the pusher foot for both large & small primers but not the tray & feeder system. You can see a complete list of kit parts here.......http://leeprecision.com/parts/reloading-presses/turret-press/classic-turret-press-parts The tray & feeder is around 24-30 dollars. I don't know what your experience is, but I use the RCBS hand primers exclusively. The press while good at charging,seating and crimping may be harder to prime with. A hand primer is 10-30 more but you won't overseat or bury your primers. Hope this helps. Cheers

To use 4 hole turret you have to comvert the press. I did mine a few years ago. Easy to do with the kit

Depends on what machine you are using. Lee makes two different sets of shell holders. The red box works only with the hand priming tool. The green box will work with any of the loading presses. I have a Lee classic turret press and the green box is what I needed but the description on the red one said it would work with the press. It doesn't. So if you are needing shell holders for one of the Lee press reloaders buy the green box, not the red one. I'm new too and was fooled by the description.

The kit comes with a hand primer pictured lower left., with the square primer tray. You can also prime off the press with and ran insert that is included. use the hand primer...Much better. and yes, it does come with the pictured powder drop. Works well, especially for the money.

The $40 version is an UPDATE KIT to bring a pre 2006 turret kit up to present day safety standards. You do not need it if your Classic Turret Press is 2006 or later. A 2006 or later only needs the Lee Precision Safety Primer feed, which is only $ 25.99. If your press is older than 2006 you will need the update kit. NOTE... You will need an Auto Disc Riser no matter which primer you use!!!!!

This press would be great for that kind of setup. I have my press set up for the correct crimp and Overall Length for my bullet and leave it that way. I manually prime as well. Good luck

The press The press I received had the small and large primers arms that fit into the ram. You just drop the proper arm into the ram. You must insert the primers into the arm manually. I have been inserting the primers manually for 50 years. I did buy the safty primer set up; I am still getting use to it. I like the press.

On some presses you may need to change the ram. If your press doesn't have the priming ram then buy the $40 kit

They are for a certain press as far as I know. I did research this sometime ago when I could not find the 4 hole turret for my press and that's what I have read. The reason as I understand it is, every time you pull the arm of the turret the turret will move a certain amount (1/4 of a turn in a 4 turret and 1/3 of a turn in a 3 hole turret). When you use the wrong one the turret will never align properly when operating the press.

Cary, the one I purchased does not come with a primer feed, and for that matter, the way the press is set up, it's extremely easy to just set the primer in place. The shot gun primers are a lot bigger and quite easy to handle.

It depends. If you have a press that has a priming arm, you'll be all set. If not, you'll need to prime off the press.
