Single Stage verses Turret Press Question?
I have always used a single stage press set up and have not in the past loaded enough
volume in my mind to justify the cost of a good progressive set up. (Yet)
I do every once in a while think I might be missing something not having a turret press.
I have in the past resisted and let the urge pass but recently it has come back again.
Is there any real advantage a turret press has over a single stage press other than die set
up time which isn't much for me because I've always created a "dummie " round set up for
each and every bullet combination I load for.? What if anything am I missing? (thanks)[smilie=f:

You are mentioning a non auto indexing turret in your comparison. There is definitely a speed increase when using the Lee Turrets. It's the only press I use anymore. But my volume requirements aren't as high as others.
