[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 2676261, member: 423"] I realize the thread is obsolete to the OP now, but for any reading it... I own the Lee Turret press, and a Dillon 550. I do not have a Loadmaster. For volume, the Lee doesn't compare to the Dillon. But for smaller batches, that reverses. I can set up my Lee Turret for 5+ calibers for the cost of one quick change kit on the Dillon, and it's faster to change than the Dillon at that. So I keep both: I have the Dillon set up for .38spl, 9mm, and .223 - my bulk caliber/loads - and use the Turret for .357, .44, .45, and small volume loads for the 9/.38/.223. I also have a couple single stage presses for precision rifle rounds, case prep, and load work up. My point being, if you are trying to make the Turret do the job of a Dillon, you will likely end up frustrated. Likewise, if you try to make the Dillon do the many-caliber/low-volume work, you will also end up frustrated. And broke. [/QUOTE]
