I picked up locally an older (from what it appears) 4 turret Lee press with the auto index for a price I couldn't pass up.
Upon setting it up with some .223 dies I realized that there is some slop in the turret. When pressing a case in for resizing or seating the bullet I get this gap:
it's around .015" or so.
From what I have gathered it shouldn't be an issue, as the same gap will be accounted for in each round that's produced.
Thoughts?
Options? New Turret?
I can get a replacement for $17, though would suck to replace one piece for nearly the cost of what I paid for the whole unit.
I should also add that this is not my precision press. This will be plinking loads for .223, .40 etc. Accuracy loads go in the single state.
