[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1221986, member: 50867"] Many many years ago I started out with a Starr Progressive Turret Press. (Image below courtesy of [B][U][U][U][U][U][U][U][URL="http://ultimatereloader.com/2012/01/19/qa-what-type-reloading-press-should-i-start-off-with/"]Q&A: What type reloading press should I start off with? – Part I | Ultimate Reloader[/URL][/U][/U][/U][/U][/U][/U][/U][/B]) I was doing a lot of competitive pistol shooting in those days and I could load my practice pistol ammo almost faster than I could shoot it. It worked very well for that purpose. But I wouldn't use it or anything like it for loading consistently accurate long range rifle ammunition. Too many moving parts, too many tolerance variables. If you want to load accurate long range ammo you're better off with a single stage press.
