Okay Dyg you're outing my OCD tinker tendencies...Yeah I have mine second hand and it was well worked by the first owner. I have probably around 10-15K through mine and still using the same turret head for each caliber. The steel surround won't wear, the aluminum head will.
@ageingstudent, do you lube your heads where they contact the steel too? I've found a couple drops of (no lanolin) bicycle chain oil (Tri-something) works well. Reduces chatter when it spins around and makes for really smooth cycling. I use that lube because it comes in a really tiny bottle that has a nice small straw to put a few drops out of.
Once a year I use flitz on the turrets and the steel turret head. This keeps oxidation away from the aluminum and rust off the steel. Then I spritz a little g96 around the turret head every time I change turrets.
