Why not just remove the Auto Index rod and use it as a single stage. Probably faster, less money, and less wear.

I have a turret with utility dies on it; decapper, universal case expander, and gas check expander. Another turret with the three different Bulge Busters on it.

I have a single stage but an auto-eject turret would be much faster. I have about 1K military 5.56 cases I ran through the decapper and then back through with the primer pocket crimp remover on the single so I'm kinda use to the abuse. Yesterday my LCT broke the link thingie underneath that makes it turn......Lee would give me the parts as per their website but the handling fee was almost $5 and the shipping was $6. For $0.50 more I got two squares instead of one plus the clamp off eBay.

Ahh... reading too fast. With the auto eject that would make sense.

Thanks for all the replies. I've been away from home for a couple weeks and my tablet decided to retire so I haven't been able to check in.

Skinnedknuckles, I will send a pm

Thanks again.
