I've been using the T Mag-II turret press for quite a while now. I presently have 9 turrets (8 in use - 1 spare), but of those I only purchased 4. Meets my need with the calibers I reload: .223, .303, .308, .30-06, .45-70, .32, .357/.38, .380, 9mm, 9mm Mak, .40 and .45. I started with their "no-caliber" Expert kit and have upgraded some items as time went by.

The only issue I has was the pin that went through the bottom of the ram to attach the handle backed out of place after about a year of use. Once reset, hasn't moved since.

It, with Lee dies, produce sub-moa groups at 100 yards in .308: most 1/2 inch or less.

I'm a satisfied customer.

I use all Lee equipment, and have a review on their 4 hole press on this board if you are interested. I also use their powder measurer, dies, etc. No problems so far. The dies, single stage, and turret have all been well worth the money I paid for them. They aren't top of the line, but frankly I don't need top of the line. "Good Enough" works for me and the shooting I do, and the price difference was enough to make me stick with Lee products.

The T-Mag II kit came with the Lyman Powder measure #55 and I picked up a stand that I mounted on my bench. For dies, every set but one are Lee dies. Can't beat'em with a stick.
