    Default Biggest caliber you load on what turret press?

    Recently I added .338 Lapua to the cartridges I reload. I was worried what press I would have to add but my Lyman turret press handles it fine. I like the Lee Classic turret press (but don't own one since I have 2 Lymans), especially the fact that you can buy additional 4 hole turrets for less than $10, thus leaving every die you have setup already.

    But the question I can't figure out is:
    What is the biggest caliber you can load on the different turrets?

    The Lyman T-Mag press works great and I have loaded .308, 30-06, 300 Win Mag and now .338 Lapua.

    What about you other turret press owners?
    Anybody use a Lee Classic turret with .338 LM?

    Thanks,

    I have the LEE classic turret press. The longest stuff I load are 300 Win Mag with Berger bullets. It works fine but I have to remove the auto-index rod since the turret will start to turn before the round is clear. I cant use the auto-index with my 7mm mag either.
