Press Maintenance

[okorpheus]

Anyone using a Lee turret press have any suggestions on routine maintenance, cleaning, lubricating that should be done.

And yes, I know "buy a dillon" will come up early Other suggestions welcome.

Dust is my main issue with the press. I bought a cover for the Dillon 650 to keep the dust off. The case slide cam may require some grease and the press may need some oil at some time in the future, but nothing needed so far.
I treat my press like my favorite coffee cup, I try not to clean or mess with it too much cause it might change the flavor. Hope this helps.

The one I'm running is probably older than I am. I put a little oil on the ram piston, then wipe down anything I've touched and give it a shot of Remoil.

If you run in Auto Index mode, you'll want to keep a few of the nylon index grommets handy. They wear out every thousand rounds or so.
