Need help with my press
I just got around to setting up my Lee turret press. And I'm geting a headache. The problem. The index bar doesn't always turn the turret. sometimes it will only turn it partially. Sometimes it's right on. Looking at pics. of these there seems to be tao types. One plastic like mine. The other pics. Iv'e seen have a metal collar and nut on the index bar. Any suggestions?

Did you try the adjustable wrench on the index rod while in the down position, and turning the turret by hand to the proper position?

I can only suggest at this point tearing it down to check for any worn parts.
Worse case scenario, call Lee on Monday and ask for the tech.

Make sure everything is well lubed. A little oil on everything that moves, even the turret helps a bunch and makes it nice and smooth. Yours looks dry in the pic. Lube the rod, the ram, the turret itself, and maybe even a bit on the block where the turret sits.
Your little plastic ratching piece could need changed. That would cause it not to rotate correctly. If it gets jammed up or you turn the turret by hand it can cause it to round out fairly easy.
I ran into a problem with mine where the clamp held onto the plastic piece too tight. It wouldn't let the racheting piece move up and down freely and it was therefor rounding out those plastic pieces right away. I used a bit of electrical tape on the clamp to space it out enough to allow proper opperation.
