Is a Lee Classic Turret strong enough.

When I bought my Savage 112 Lapua 338 I decided that I needed to reload just for the cost savings if nothing else. So at the same time I ordered the gun I ordered a set of two dies for my Lee Classic turret.
Since then I have been doing some reading and saw a comment that the Lee Turret loader my not be strong enough to load Large rifle cartridges. Just point blank, is this true or not ?

Lee makes a few different turret presses, the Classic is built a lot heavier than the less expensive one.

I think the Breach Lock or Lock-n-Load quick change bushing systems give most of the convenience of a turret press and a turret press rarely has the stiffness of a good "O" style press so no turret for me.

Your press might be ok for 338 Lapua but it would not be my choice.

Thank you. At least the recommendation is for a LESS expensive alternative. Not usually the case.....LOL

I got a lee 4 hole classic turret press for Christmas that I have been loading 300 rum with no problems. Only thing I would be worried about would be run out. If I didn't already have this press I would probably buy a rockchucker or something like it.

I got a response from Lee that the Classic Turret was more than up to the job. I dont think I will change now.
