Even if you decide to go the progressive, you will want to have a single stage on hand. This is really important with a cartridge such as 300BLK if you are going to convert brass from 5.56 stock. And you should be considering that.  A turret will work as a single stage when needed and still allow you to do a bit of "manual progressive" but you are still in complete control. Once you feel the press is really slowing you down, find the progressive that suits your needs. Leave it set up for your high volume reloading and keep the turret for the everything else.   I've got a Lyman T-Mag that I may be listing soon. It is a 6 station turret press with a second spare Turret. I've ordered a Redding T-7 to replace it. I think the Redding is a better press, but you could get into this one with a second turret for 1/2 the price or less. The primary reason I'm upgrading to the T-7 is because of the way the T-Mag mounts to my Quick change Inline Fabrication bench mount. LoL  The spent primer system on the Redding is much better and I think the primer autofeed will be better. I'm just now setting up to reload again and decided to take the plunge by adding some new equipment.  I hate to part with my old reliable T-Mag, but I have a feeling it will be only gathering more dust in the future.</p></blockquote><p></p>
