Lyman t-mag2 turret

[EUDE75]

I've been using one since 1996. It has yet to fail. The best advice i can give is when you're sizing and seating the bullet on rifle cartridges lock it in place with the screw on the back. It will give you much more uniform sizing and seating depths. The press is a workhorse. In my opinion its one of the strongest turret presses ever made. I'd love to know how many rounds mine has had ran through it. Also every so often its good to take the turret off and clean the pressure and bottom of the turret with brake cleaner and relube it and give all the moving joints a little shot of oil. The best oil I've found is G96 gun oil for the moving parts. Especially the ram. It eats gun powder. Turns it to gel. I'm actually thinking of getting another one just in case mine ever breaks. The weak point is the center bolt. That's why I said to lock down the turret earlier. Lyman does not and has never sold a replacement for it. I hope this helps. Any questions about the press feel free to ask.

I have one and have been using it for 10 years. It's given me zero problems. Like mentioned earlier, the priming system isn't that great, so I've been priming by hand off the press. I can sit on the couch watching a movie while priming 1k cases by hand much easier/faster than on the press.

The bolt for the turret can come loose over time, so pay attention to that and keep it tight. But in 10 years, I've had it come loose only once. I clean it and lube it up maybe once every thousand rounds or so. I don't think I'll ever need to replace it.
