    Get the lee kit. The turreted press is faster than a single stage. I manually index (rotate the turret head) and its still faster. Bin the scales and get something better.get appropriate dies for your calibre, again lee is fine and a bench mounted powder measure if you are reloading rifle (lee delux is meant to be a bit better than the normal perfect powder measure, but I haven't used it). You're now reloading.

    The lee turret press is ok for pistol rounds I have found it shit for rifle rounds
    Not enough leverage as to much flex in the turret
    A single stage is a bit slower as you have to change dies but Realistically how long does that take when you have your dies set and locking rings locked
    Probably ads 1minute max to the Process
    Unless you load them one at a time which isn’t the right way to do it size all your brass in one go
    Load them all then seat all your bullets in one go
    Then crimp all in one go if you crimp which for most you don’t need to

    It's all fun and games till Darthvader comes along
    I respect your beliefs but don't impose them on me.
