Lyman Brass Smith All-American 8-Station Turret Press - Precision Reloading Tool

The Lyman Brass Smith All-American 8-Station Turret Press is built for reloaders who want versatility without sacrificing precision. This turret press combines a large cast iron frame with a removable 8-station turret—the largest in its class—giving you the flexibility to configure your reloading setup for everything from pistol cartridges to long-action rifle rounds. Whether you're running two complete 4-die sets or splitting your stations into multiple 2-die configurations, the All-American 8 scales with your workflow.

The press is engineered for smooth, reliable operation. A 1" diameter ram and compound linkage deliver consistent performance, while the rigid cast iron construction handles even the longest magnum cases without chatter or flex. The large press opening means you're never cramped when working with oversized brass or specialty cartridges. Thread in any standard 7/8"×14 dies and standard shell holders—no proprietary nonsense.

Priming is where the All-American 8 earns its keep on the bench. The straight-line primer feed system is straightforward and reliable: push the priming arm forward at the bottom of ram travel to position it, then let the tubes do the work. Both large and small primer tubes come standard, and a heavy steel shield surrounds them for safety. A comfortable ball handle swings freely for right or left-hand shooters, and the durable powder coat finish stands up to years of use in any reloading room.
