Last summer my uncle picked up an old Lyman S-T Turret Press and gave me.  It got it for $25 plus 6 dies.  I thought about setting this up to reload just my 357SM.  Anyone had any experience with this one?

I don't have that exact press, but I grew up using the single stage version of that one 🙂  My dad still owns it and uses it--I bet it has a million rounds through it by now.  $25 is a steal on a press.

those old cast iron presses are great!  i use one to size some of my loadings.  the only difference between those and the new ones is the angle the shell sits at(not vertical), may require guidance into die.  some reading ones took diff shellholders.  but other than that pretty standard.

turrets are nice, i use a lee lock and load.

Bolt 'er down and start stuffin' brass!  WOW
