Lee Precision 6 Station 45 Acp Ultimate Turret Press Kit

The Lee Precision 6 Station 45 ACP Ultimate Turret Press Kit is a complete reloading setup built around Lee's proven turret press design, scaled and configured specifically for .45 ACP handgun ammunition. If you reload pistol rounds in volume and want a press that handles the work without fussiness, this kit assembles everything you need in one box—press, dies, powder measure, scale, and support gear.

The 6-station turret design lets you set up each of your .45 ACP dies in a separate station (or configure it for three stations using included index rods), then rotate through them automatically with each downstroke. That means no swapping dies mid-session, no resetting, and faster, more consistent rounds. The tool head sits in what Lee calls perimeter support—a steel ring that cradles the turret from all sides, preventing die tilt and keeping your press geometry rock-solid. Die changes themselves are quick: the Breech Lock system lets you pull and swap dies without losing zero, so you can store loaded, adjusted dies and pick up where you left off.

Build quality starts with the Big Press linkage—the same compound toggle mechanism Lee uses on its .50 BMG press—giving this turret serious mechanical advantage. The lever operates smoothly and won't fold unexpectedly (a real safety point on a press you use regularly). Primer disposal runs through the ram itself, keeping debris away from the base and moving parts. A case ejector automatically kicks finished rounds into a catch bin, cutting hand fatigue on a long reloading session.

The kit ships with a three-die set for .45 ACP, a powder measure, a safety scale, a primer arm with small and large feeds, and a tooling rack to keep wrenches and bits in reach. It's a genuine turnkey package—not bare-press-plus-a-catalog, but a functional reloading station from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this press compatible with other calibers besides .45 ACP?

The kit ships with a 3-die set sized for .45 ACP, but the turret press itself can work with dies for other calibers. You would need to purchase a separate die set for any different caliber you wanted to load. The 6-station turret and Breech Lock mounting accept standard Lee dies.

Can I configure this press for fewer than 6 stations?

Yes. The kit includes two index rods that allow you to set up the turret for either 3 or 6 station operation. This gives you flexibility based on your reloading workflow.

Does the press come mounted to a bench, or do I need to buy a separate mounting plate?

The press kit itself does not include a bench plate. The product photo shows the press mounted to an optional Lee Bench Plate, which is sold separately. You can mount this press to any sturdy reloading bench using standard mounting hardware.

What's included in the kit versus what do I need to buy separately?

The kit includes the 6-station turret press, 3-die set for .45 ACP, Deluxe Auto Drum powder measure, Safety Powder Scale, Safety Prime primer arm (with small and large feeds), case ejector with bin, roller handle, through-ram primer disposal tube, index rods, wrenches, and a tool rack. You will need to supply components like brass, primers, powder, and bullets, and a reloading bench if you don't already have one.
