Lee Precision 6 Station 38 Special Ultimate Turret Press Kit

The Lee Precision 6 Station 38 Special Ultimate Turret Press Kit is a complete reloading press system built for handloaders who want reliable, repeatable ammunition without the learning curve. This turret press combines the proven strength of Lee's Big Press linkage with a precision-machined six-station tool head, making it ideal for serious 38 Special reloaders who plan to load batches regularly. Unlike single-station presses that require constant die changes, the indexed turret lets you progress through every step of the reload sequence—sizing, decapping, priming, powder charging, and seating—in just one press and one die setup per caliber.

The perimeter support design is what sets Lee's Ultimate apart. The turret head sits on a steel support ring that completely surrounds it, eliminating die tipping and keeping everything perfectly aligned station to station. That means tighter, more consistent loads and less troubleshooting. The breech lock quick-change system lets you swap out your entire die set without losing your adjustments, so your 38 Special dies stay zeroed and ready to go. A powered case ejector automatically kicks finished rounds into a collection bin—no manual transfer, no mess.

This kit arrives complete with everything a 38 Special reloader needs to start: the six-station turret press itself, safety prime with both small and large primer arms, auto drum powder measure, safety powder scale, inline bullet feed magazine, collection bin, and a full set of 38 Special dies. The compound toggle linkage handles the full range of handgun cartridges with a smooth, ergonomic roller handle. Priming happens through the ram, keeping dirt away from the base and mechanism. This is a purpose-built kit for handloaders ready to move beyond single-stage presses.
