Seem lee isn't interested in following these inventions up..... I've discussed these with a tool and die maker ... Estimated time to production is 6 months
Forster made a similar bullet puller design w/o the storage container though. It threaded onto the press and had a flat piece of metal that was slightly bent upward w/ 4 cuts in it when you push a bullet up into it the fingers would hold it into place and then the case was pulled down away from it, notice there was a bullet in it when he installed it in the press, the next one pushes it out. they had different sizes for the different bullet diameters though, it was not universal.
I've been toying with a similar press mounting system but using toggle clamps for quick release and repeatability. Have to wonder how long the wood will last if you're screwing into the bench rather than a blind nut on the backside.
Heck, you make stuff better than I do, feel free to use this idea: a flat plate on the bottom with a couple locater pins, press mounted to a wood plate sits on top of that, two or four toggle clamps mounted to the lower plate that clamp the upper plate down.
Lucky most reloaders are of the nature of tinkering and tool skills in general.For those that are not i suggest you loosen the screw that holds the charge bar in very small incramints.Half a turn was perfect for mine and not so much as to make it so loose that it spills lots of powder.This lee powder measure that i am speaking of is not bad in an emergency but i cant wait to get a new one.I cant get it to put out charges that are more than +or - .3 of a grain so i only put the charges at min.
Ok i said some bad things about the "Lee not so perfect powder drop"I will retract alot as i finally got this powder measure to drop within + or - .3 of a grain.That in my book makes it good for emergencys and when you are completly broke like me.lol.I took my P.M. apart and i cleaned it with some hornaday dry lube.This stuff is good and it leaves no film.I first did it with alcohol and that seemed to work ok also.As with all things LEE you have to have some patients and tool skills.Lucky most.
i hate this thing.. it gives me so many problems .. i get changes in measurments up to more than 1.0 grain!.. can anyone give me any advice or help! can i fix this thing.. i bought it new and it really is bad. mine leaks but i dont care.. i just want an accurate charge. thanks. sorry i ment the lee powder drop..
@mjmoto72 not sure which one you mean but both the perfect and auto disk powder measure needs consistent operation to drop a consistent charge. when cycling the measure make sure you allow time at the top and bottom of stroke for the tube or disk to completely fill and empty. with the micrometer adjust disk for the auto disk can be inconsistent when using small charges with large flake powder such as unique or red dot. i found up to a .70 cc charge can be inconsistent with these powders.
@ihearvoices22 sorry again for my inconsistant complaints lol. I meant the "Lee ,not so perfect powder measure".I cant help but make a few jokes about this but to tell you the gods honest truth after taking this thing apart and going through alot of trial and error i got it to work almost as described.Im going to post a video when i get home from vacation as i dont see any about this.Theres some things that can be done if you own this type of powder drop.As with all things Lee you need patience

I've been mounting ALL my presses (incliding my Lees, RCBS Rock Chucker & Dillon RL550B) on blocks of wood for years!!! I use a couple of simple large 'C' clamps to attach them to various benches...a very simple alternative to permanent mounts - you can movew 'em any time or anywhere ya want - especially if the wife gets pissy that you're usin' the kitchen table....and the kids have mowhere to eat...
Mr. Lee, you have done it again, sir. My mouth literally dropped open when I saw the case trimmer, I HATE trimming cases, that looks extremely tolerable. And that bullet puller is remarkable. Hoping for quick releases on these new products! Thanks for your continued innovation for us in the reloading crowd! While traditional companies like Lyman's quality is circling the drain, I stand by Lee equipment as the best bang for the buck, PERIOD.
RICHARD LEE YOUR THE MAN..... YOUR MY HERO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS FOR SIMPLICITY. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR COMPANY ALSO WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO COME OUT WITH A LEE( CLASSIC RELOADER) PRESS IN CAST IRON WITHOUT THE BUSHING JUST 7/8 THREAD THIS WOULD REALLY BE A PATRIOT TO THE RELOADING EQUIPTMENT/ FAMILY I KNOW YOU SAY ALUMINUM IS STRONGER BUT I DO LIKE THE LOOKS AND RUGGEDNESS OF A SMALL CAST IRON PRESS YES I DO LOVE SIMPLE THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR KNOWLEDGE
Love my Lee presses and other equipment. Can't wait for the new trimmer and bullet puller. I already use Lee FCD, but the combo die looks interesting, too!
The bullet puller and combination die with bullet seater and factory crimp are very ingenious proves the Lee reloading equipment is still the best out there. All of my reloading gear is from Lee, I refuse to pay more for inferior products from more expensive brands.
While 2 through 4 look very cool and promising, that press plate seems a little too flimsy in its current iteration. Progressive presses and turret presses need a rock solid mount. Maybe if they put a third flange on the back, secure it with something more torque-friendly than phillips screws, and reinforce the plywood with some sheet steel. Overall, very cool though, and if they do fix the quirks, I'll have to pick one up.
Thank God for people like Mr. Lee.
