Have a new cast iron Lee Classic Turret mounted to the bench. Transitioning from a row of 3 single stage presses. I have removed the auto index rod so it's not in progressive mode. Having learned to do things in batches on the single stages I am comfortable with that for now.
I pulled out some .223 and started to decap and size tonight and I can see the turret plate move upward as I run the shell up into the die. I put my calipers on the plate and the plate holder and it moves from 1.109 to 1.122. So it's rising up .013 every time I run a shell up in the die.
I know it isn't going to matter in the decap stage, but it seems like it would be hard to seat bullets consistently down the road with it moving that much.
What can I do to clamp that turret plate so it stays in place?
