Lyman Brass Smith All-American 8 Turret Press
The Lyman Brass Smith All-American 8 Turret Press is engineered for reloaders seeking a robust, versatile solution for both high-volume and precision reloading tasks. Designed to accommodate a wide range of rifle and pistol cartridges, this turret press is well-suited for experienced handloaders and enthusiasts who demand efficiency and repeatable accuracy. Its eight-station turret and heavy-duty construction make it ideal for those loading multiple calibers or using complex die setups.
Product Overview
Constructed from rugged cast iron, the Brass Smith All-American 8 Turret Press features an extra-large, eight-station turret head, allowing users to install up to two complete four-die sets or four two-die sets simultaneously. The turret is easily removable via a dedicated turret bolt, streamlining caliber changes and die swaps. The 1-inch diameter ram and compound linkage system provide smooth, consistent operation and ample leverage, even when working with long rifle cartridges. A straight line primer feed system—protected by a steel shield—ensures reliable and safe priming, while the ambidextrous design accommodates both right- and left-handed users. The press accepts all standard 7/8'x14 threaded dies and standard shell holders, offering broad compatibility with popular reloading components.
