Home Forums Reloading Reloading Software The Redding t7 turret press are you on the train

I started this thread to see how many people use this press and how long you have if you have any stories or quirks about it and a list of every caliber you have loaded with this press. I feel that this thread could be one to let anyone who has one or is considering getting one know anything they could possibly ever want to know about it

Ramrod ,
I've been using a T7 for about 15/20 years . Never had an issue .

However I do not use it as a progressive press .I do one process on each shell , when all are finished I move the turret to the next die etc .
I'm not in a hurry loading for my rifles .( .223 -.22K Hornet -30-30Win - .308 Win - .270Win - .35 Remy -.243 Win - .375 Win -.44 Mag )
For pistol I use a 550C and a Star Progressive for .38 Special

The T7 works very well as a semi-progressive, but I generally use mine when loading 3 different cartridges at one time--one of the common circumstances of being a gun writer. Saves a lot of time!

I've been using Reddding T7 press for five years now I'm trying to get the picture of it to come up. I started with a Lyman JR for 357mag then went to a RCBS rockchunker JR3, then to a Lyman All American turret then tried Lee progessive that failed then in2015 I purchased my T7 and wont look back,( I still use the RCBS for sizing and depriming) I bought the T7 with an extra turent head so one head is setup for Pistols and the other for rifles. The rifle turrent has a Lyman 55 powder measure and two die for each caliber 308 Win, 30-06, and 35REM. The pistol turrent is setup with a redding pistol powder measure and two dies for each caliber 357mag, 38super, and 30luger. my next investment is lock and load die adapters for the rock cucker I just bought so I can switch easily from one caliber to the other without needing to adjust the dies. The other rock chucker I put an adapter on to swag military primer crimps.The All American turret I sold to a friend that I'm teaching to reload. I just reloaded a hundred rounds of 30-30 for him with that press, took five out to test he grouped in a 1 inch (as you notice I don't have a 30-30). This press should be good for him as it has four spots for dies which are set up for one deprimer sizer, one powder measure, one seater and factory crimp.
This is the press that sold me on turent presses.
