Turrets are slower, but most are very easy to change calibers. Most can be changed in a few seconds. I would suggest the turret first (the Lee classic cast is a great choice for the money), then buy a progressive for whatever you load the most of.Just my honest opinion, progressive presses can be real a-holes on days they aren't happy.

50 rounds of regular target seems to be going for around $18 for 50.
The defense rounds for like $20 ive seen for like $30 and up.
I dont reload but id imagine you guys that reload can press out alot more than 20 defense for $30?

Right now I'm working on a Dillon 1050XL set up for .45acp; works A-OK, just have to pay attention to the machine and how it stages itself for each round. Some machines run really really awesome, and some are total PITA's.GreggAndrews wrote:My Lee Pro1000 is a BITCH when the primer feed is acting up.
