[QUOTE="savagekindaguy, post: 1044639, member: 48989"] A turret press loads one shell, one stroke at a time. A single stage press loads one shell, one stroke at a time...but one process at a time before you change dies. Single stage presses are best for rifle cases because there is more leverage per stroke. A turret press will do bottlenecks but no faster than a single stage and from my experience it is not as solid as a single stage for resizing. A drop type powder measure can be finicky at times, especially if used as one stage of a turret press. If it loads heavy or loads light, problems can occur. At least with a single stage you can easily check for the powder level. If you want speed, see if there is a progressive that handles bottlenecks. You will spend all day using a turret or single stage press to do 500-700 rounds from start to finish. If this answers any of your questions, good. IMHO... If you are doing rifle cases use a single stage. If pistol cases, a turret press or progressive is best. [/QUOTE]
