The Lee Precision 40 S&W 3-Die Classic Turret Press Kit delivers the smooth, reliable performance serious handloaders expect from a bench-mounted turret press, with the solid engineering that makes reloading feel less like work and more like craftsmanship. This is a complete kit built around Lee's time-tested turret design—everything you need to start loading .40 S&W ammunition, minus the reloading stand (which is sold separately). Whether you're loading match-grade carry ammo, working up hunting loads, or simply want to recycle brass at your own pace, the Classic Turret combines cast-iron durability with the convenience of a quick-change die turret.
The press itself is built on a rigid cast iron frame with over 12 square inches of ram support area, so you'll feel solid steel linkage and a smooth lever stroke from the moment you start working. The hardwood-gripped lever glides through each cycle with that satisfying heft that tells you this isn't a budget tool—it's engineered to last decades. The long stroke accommodates rifle cases over 3 inches when the automatic indexing is active, and deactivating the auto-index allows you to load cases longer than 4 inches, giving you flexibility if your reloading interests expand. The four-hole turret accepts Lee dies and indexes instantly between stations, cutting your setup time and letting you focus on consistency and precision.
Priming is handled by Lee's Lever Primer System (LPS) paired with the Lee Safety Prime tool—a combination that makes priming on the press intuitive and safe. The industry's largest ram is drilled completely through, routing every primer into an attached clear PVC tube so nothing gets lost. The kit includes the three dies you need to process .40 S&W brass: sizing, powder dispensing, and bullet seating. If you plan to add a Lee Pro Auto-Disk or Auto Drum powder measure, note that a Powder Measure Riser will be necessary to maintain clearance for the Safety Prime tool.

The Classic Turret's long stroke is designed for rifle cases over 3 inches when auto-index is active. Deactivating auto-index allows you to load cases longer than 4 inches. However, this kit is configured for .40 S&W; to load rifle cartridges, you would need to purchase the appropriate dies for your chosen caliber.
Yes. The press itself is included in this kit, but a reloading stand (such as Lee's #90688) is sold separately and is required to mount the press to your bench.
The Classic Turret is compatible with Lee powder measures, but if you use a Pro Auto-Disk or Auto Drum Powder Measure, you will need to purchase a Powder Measure Riser to maintain adequate clearance for the Lee Safety Prime tool.
This kit includes the Classic Turret Press, three .40 S&W dies (sizing, powder dispensing, and seating), the Lee Lever Primer System, the Lee Safety Prime tool, and the integrated primer catch tube. A reloading stand and press mounting hardware are not included.
