RED T-7 TURRET RELOADING PRESS
- Thread starter josebd
- Start date
I have one. I have been reloading for a couple of years with it. I like it. The obvious nice part of the turret is leaving your seating dies set so when you seat your 22-250 bullets, you don't have to re-set the seating die again. I leave my .223, 22-250, 30-06, and 300WSM seating dies in the turret and don't have to readjust them again. I hope that helps.

Why would you have to readjust your seating die again if you used a different press??

In case they get turned or bumped when turning them out and turning them back in. Just trying to give a positive point on the T-7 turret for the guy is all.

That's what I was getting at. I guess I don't have to worry about accidently bumping or changing anything with the turret-style presses. Have you had any experience with issues when changing turret heads between the two? I only have one turret head but thinking about getting another.

That's silly - with that approach, you need a new turret press for each new caliber you get - that really limits your caliber choices a LOT.
There is a ring on the die body - when you lock that ring, then yo can remove the die and put it back later, without anything changing.
Both of you guys need some instruction from a loader that knows what he is doing.

Then don't read my posts.
Click on my name above the "cat" and go to "View profile" - there is a tab that you can click "Ignore this user".
Click that and you will never see my posts again.
See how easy it is.

It was a knuckle buster when I tried to set up a die beside of one that was already there, or when I tried to remove a die for a simple cleaning.
I sold it, complete with a new turret head that had never been installed, and bought a Co-ax.
