[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1429573, member: 99039"] I have an old Lyman turret press, back when they used to be painted red, I also have a Lyman single stage for my big 45-120 sharps, with experience, I can say the turret press is the only way to go in my opinion. It is a pain having to reset each die every time you move from sizing to seating. If I had to start over with new, I would go with the Redding Turret press, you will enjoy moving from one die to the next with each stroke of the plunger to final bullet. As for powder scales, I have both balance beam and RCBS electronic, the electronic is faster, but you had better check the weight with a balance beam to verify that is the correct weight. Especially if you are trying out new loads. I have found my electronic scale will throw a charge a half grain off at times. What I do in my reloading session is use both with the balance beam being the final. My balance beam is a very old Lyman, a friend of mine gave me after his father passed away, I am not sure of the date it was manufactured, but guessing, I would say 50's or 60's. Good luck on your search. [/QUOTE]
