The 5-hole turret is the component that holds the dies on the Lee Load-Master progressive press. It houses one station for each stage of the reloading process and can be removed from the press as a complete assembly: by having one for each caliber, die adjustments are preserved, and caliber changes are reduced to swapping the turret and shell plate.
On the Load-Master, the turret is aligned by the knurled setscrew located on the left side of the frame: by loosening the screw, the turret rotates approximately 6 mm and can be lifted and removed, then reinserted with the same positioning precision. The five threaded holes accept Lee dies and press accessories in the standard 7/8"-14 thread. The Lee Load-Master progressive press operates on five stations with an automatic 72° shell plate rotation at each lever cycle. Lee Precision moved the platform to legacy status in April 2022, but replacement parts remain in the catalog for those who continue to use the press.
