Turret press. A sizer die. Priming system on the press. (LPS)? Pro-Auto powder disc. A powder check die? Bullet seater. Factory crimp die.
Does it go: Station one: Size and deprime. Station two: Prime. second stroke Station two: Charge. Station three: Powder check. Station four: Bullet seat. Separate press: Crimp.

Lee says the Classic Turret will auto-index load 3 1/16 in COL but I can load the slightly longer 06 without crimping. Someone reported that the press would not auto-index .30/06 with the Lee Factory Crimp Die. The unmodified Pro Auto Disc powder measure is only good up to about .308. Did the video answer your questions? There are also some on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zOpN9iYOyE8

The Turret Press only has three stations. The Classic Turret Press has four. You'll need four unless you want to do the Taper Crimp separately. They go clockwise, with the Auto-Index, IIRC.

The video helped. I have a 3 hole turret, instead of the 4 hole upgrade, I'm thinking classic turret, pro-disc powder measure with disc doubler, on press primer, no powder check, and factory crimp die. All my ammo is short action.

I took the auto index off my classic 4 holer. For pistol rounds, I have it set as:
Station 1 - decap, resize Station 2 - Bell Station 3 - Seat Station 4 - Crimp
In practice, I run a case thru 1, turn by hand and then run it into 2. After I do all in the batch, I prime on another press, and charge on my bench. I then return to the press and seat & crimp on 3 & 4, turning by hand.
If I do high volumes, I use a dillon SDB.
Rifle cartridges are similar, but there is no belling, of course, and only certain rounds (those going thru a Garand, an AR or a lever gun) that get crimped. I always prime using a lee ram prime on a dedicated press, and charge using one a variety of methods on another bench.
Regards,
Tom
