I purchased a Lee Classis Turret recently as the Lee literature says "cases as long as the monster 50 BMG can be loaded" Notice it doesn't specifically say that the 50 BMG can be loaded, just cases of the same length.
I can't find anything to indicate it will do it. There are no other turrets available to accept the larger 1 1/4 inch 50 dies. In fact it doesn't even appear there is enough room to accept a 1 1/4 inch die on the turret. There is nothing on Lee's site to indicate it will do it, nor are there any accessory kits to convert the press that are offered for sale as far as I can tell. Midway USA lists nothing either. Or maybe there are 7/8 inch dies available for 50 BMG reloading? I can't imagine it but I guess it is possible.
Does anyone know if this can be done? I sent an e-mail to Lee but haven't heard back yet.
I love the press but will be disappointed if I can't load for my .50 on it. I feel the advertising is intentionally misleading.
I don't mind buying another press if need be but if I can do it with my Turret then so much the better!
Thanks for any help.
