Has anyone figured out an improvement/fix for the Lee Turret Press? Not the Classic Cast Turret, but the older one. My specific issue is the ratchet of the auto index wearing out. I was wondering if anyone has tried making one out of a more durable material than the nylon plastic which seems to wear out every 400-500 rounds. At least it wears out on me. I know that the replacements only cost 50 cents a piece, but I was just wondering.
As a second related question: Does the Classic Cast Turret have the same ratcheting mechanism, and is it as prone to wearing out as the older Turret press? If it has a different mechanism, maybe I could retrofit that mechanism onto my press?
