[QUOTE="GeneW, post: 2352516, member: 27284"] Lots of good thoughts and comments here. I have a RCBS Rockchucker and an old Lyman turret and a couple of MEC shotgun reloaders. Right now I have a really expensive double root canal/double crown coming up and it's gonna cost me a ton of cash money. I just ordered a Lee Pro 1000 auto from Cabelas for $159 with free shipping. I know it's not a Cadillac and not super fast, but they do work, they do need a bit of fiddling, but for me it's fine for now. It'll work just about as well as anything else for my personal situation. Your mileage may vary. I think a good quality turret press is probably better than a single stage due to the fact that you can adjust each die and leave it in the head and go on to the next die without a lot of muss and fuss. For a first time buyer I think I'd recommend a really good quality turret. If you are mainly reloading pistol but want to occasionally want to reload rifle I love the idea of a turret press. An extra tool head or two is pretty cheap. Bottom line, for each of us, depending on how many rounds we wish to shoot and our budget, each one of us has a different perspective and different requirements. If money is no object, well, go spend it and get it all. [/QUOTE]
