Lyman Brass Smith Product Overview
Lyman – an innovator in the field of case preparation and reloading – has introduced the Brass Smith 8-Station Turret Press, the most feature-packed, rugged turret press on the market!
Starting at the top, the extra-large 8 station turret is machined out of heavy duty cast iron. It is equipped with an easily removed turret bolt which makes swapping turrets simple. The 8 die station turret will hold two complete 4 die sets or up to four 2 die sets. Below the turret is a rigid cast iron frame, housing a 1” diameter ram and compound linkage. The frame is large enough to work with even the longest rifle cartridges. Work the press handle and you will feel the tight, precision fit and smooth operation.
Unlike many competitive presses, the Brass Smith 8-Station Turret Press comes with a newly designed straight line primer feed. The straight line primer feed is completely reliable and simple to use. Simply push the priming arm forward at the bottom of the ram travel to position it beneath the shell holder. For added safety, the primer feed comes with a heavy steel shield which surrounds the primer tubes.

I reload 50 Beowulf, 30-06, 45 long colt to name a few. At this point that’s what I can afford. This press has worked great. My ar 15 has loved everything I can make on this thing. I’ve had way less feeding problems on my Ar after using this setup. It’s been beating factory ammo for me. My friends even noticed at the range. I’m consistently destroying the center of the target from 50-100 yards with 50 Beowulf. The rest have been great accuracy as well. I read about the primer feed problems. I’ve had Zero issues with the priming system after quite a few rounds. Don’t rush but once you get in a rhythm is great. If you have problems contact Lyman. Seriously it’s a good system. The press itself is built like a tank and pulls smoothly. I’ve used lee presses, had a Herters press( worked fine) Rcbs, and borrowed my dads Dillon on occasion. This press is made well has next to no play in the head and makes reloading a lot easier than a single stage. For the price and quality I think it’s hard to beat. Everything got it’s haters. For me though orange is my favorite reloading equipment. I got rid of my concentricity reader after using this

I am a long time reloader of antique cartridges, such as 0.32-40, 0.43 Spanish, 0.50 Remington Army (pistol) and 12.7 x 44 mm. Previously I had used three separate single station presses to load these cartridges, thinking that the turret-type press would be insuffiicently rigid. When I finally got around to purchasing this Lyman 8-station press, due largely to positive reviews, I was pleasantly surprised that it is plenty stiff to resize and mildly form the large black powder cases, there is plenty of leverage with the ambidextrous operating handle, and the turret indexes and retains position quite positively. I can set it up to load two or three cartridges and still have room for a Lee Auto-Prime and a powder measure. This press is exactly right for my needs, which are low to moderate production of several different and typically large antique cartridges. It is clearly not as fast as a well-set-up progressive press, but is great for the reloader who wants modest production of a few diverse cartridges, like me.

I have both my 45ACP and 38Spl dies installed in the press. Real easy to switch back and forth with out having to remove and readjust the dies each time. Well made press and doesn’t take up a lot of room on the reloading bench. Haven’t used it for rifle cartridges but I can recommend it for pistol calibers.

This press has improved my reloading a great deal. It now takes less time with more precision because I do not have to continually reset my dies. Once the are set up they stay that way. It’s a huge improvement over my singles stage press. It is built like a tank too. I will not be able to wear it out in my lifetime.
