The Lee Classic Cast Press is engineered for strength, versatility and ease of use, featuring the largest opening and longest stroke in the industry. Its adjustable handle allows the shortest possible travel for efficient operation, while offering full flexibility to suit different cartridge types. Built around a rigid cast iron “O” frame, it delivers exceptional durability and stability, enhanced by a baked powder coat finish that is both hard-wearing and visually refined.
Designed for comfort and control, the fully adjustable handle can be positioned for left- or right-handed operation, with a 48-tooth ratchet clamp allowing precise start and stop positioning. The handle length can be shortened for handgun and short rifle cases, reducing effort and improving workflow. Priming is smooth and intuitive thanks to the automatic primer arm with bottom-of-stroke priming, supplied with large and small primer arms for immediate versatility.
The press is built to accommodate serious reloading tasks, accepting large 1¼–12 dies as standard and including an adapter for 7/8–14 dies. Its large 1⅛-inch diameter ram, supported by over 12 square inches of bearing surface, is drilled through for direct spent primer disposal via an attached tube. The two-piece ram design allows use of the 50 BMG shell holder, while compatibility with standard shell holders and a rotatable ram insert ensures flexible primer installation on either side.
