Lyman All American 8 Turret Press for Reloading

I did not purchase from Amazon.Its a heavy press, thick solid base, smooth action plenty of leverage. but the turret can't handle the leverage.The turret has almost .060" of play when the ram is topped out against the turret. As you can imagine when seating bullets it's tuff to keep the same OAL from cartridge to cartridge. I don't load near max so it's not a safety concern to me, just a nuisance. The set screw that holds the primer cup is either stripped or of poor quality, it will not hold the cup high enough to set the primer deep enough in the case. I was able to make a modification to the cup stem and it works now. I do like the 8 stations I can set all 3 calibers and leave them alone. If Lyman has a fix to the huge amount of play I wish they would share it. I don't know If I will keep dealing with the slop or move to a Redding or a progressive press. That being said I would not sell this second hand or recommend it anyone. Lyman put on quite a publicity campaign for this "new" series.

this is a great press only problem is the primer part of this press this set Screw keeps coming undone and it’s not the easiest to adjust Luther wise it is a great press I hade to get lock tight can you try to fix the problem

Everything worked . primer thing was rough still not butter smooth but getting better with every use . Yup it will toss a few old primers on the floor. It is good to have the choice to press prime . as expected things are tight for room with 8 holes . Wish it had a hole on 4 sides for the turret handle . Yup I would buy it again . Lyman sent me replacement primer feed things when things didn't quite work >>> FREE No shipping charges . Just timed myself making up some 9MM >> 10 rounds in just over 5 minutes

It's obviously based on the Redding T-7. Where it falls short is in the design of the priming/depriming system (fix that and it'll be a great press). I gave up on that. I deprime on my old Lee, and and bought a hand primer.
