Lyman Tru-Line Jr
« on: June 04, 2007, 02:47:35 PM »
Anyone have a Lyman Tru-Line Jr turret press? They are very old, Lyman says they haven't been made in 50 years. I got one in a batch of stuff I bought.

Hi,

I have one.  Not bad as it can do full length resizing in a case whereas The Lyman tong tool can only do short length neck resizing.  The Lyman dies never became a standard and as such slowly faded away.    My turret is threaded slightly offset on two of the die holes and doesn't make the most accurate ammo.  The final nail in the coffin is the odd 30 thread per inch dies.  I work in a machine shop and none of the manual lathes make this thread.  CNC is needed and the boss said no.


Hope this helps....
