[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 3349928, member: 15054"] By all means get a single stage..Can't have too many presses..well maybe. I tested my 4 hole turret press against the single stage and they both produce the same ammo accuracy. I did not like the play either. I have different shell holders and different .308 dies and each one will act a certain way. One shell holder will allow .008" set back and another sets my shoulder back .001" I have no issues with my guns and .223/5.56 and my dies. but my buddies gun has a short chamber and Instead of just touching the shell holder I need to turn the die in another 3/4 turn. There will be slack in threads that will play games with reloading. Another thing I found is if I very lightly lube the case and lube the inside neck I will have a different shoulder measurement than if I forgo the inside neck lubing. I get longer shoulder without the lube..I can actually pull it longer than a fired round by .003" I tried this for lubing necks.
