Turret vs progressive

[Canuck44]

As an owner of a 550 I agree with these statements. For pistol I produce about 400 rounds an hour. Nice and simple works great but with rifle it becomes a multi step process and the advantages of the progressive reduce significantly. I produce about 200 rounds an hour of 223. If you are predominantly doing handgun ammo the 550 is great unless you shoot very high amounts in which case you will want either the 650 or 1050. I shoot 1000 rounds a month or so and can keep up no problem with the 550. If you are just doing rifle I would recommend the single stage press.

Pretty much sums it up nicely. Big fan of the RCBS single stage. A bit more than the Lee which is a good press. The RCBS is just a bit bettwr that is all.
