That's interesting that you prefer the single stage press over the turret press. I first reloaded in high school metal shop teacher when one semester I cast a bunch of bullets for the teacher's .30-30. I then used a Lee Loader with dippers to load those bullets into cartridges for him. Later I got myself a Lee Reloader press that I used to load many rounds of .38 Special, .357 Magnum, .44 Special and Magnum, and .45 ACP. A neighbor then gave me an RCBS Reloader Special that he had been given but never used in return for loading a bunch of .45 ACP for him.
In the 90s, a friend decided that he wanted a Dillon 650, but since he lived in an apartment, he kept it at my place on my loading bench. Even back then I used it more than he did, and he eventually just gave it to me when he lost interest. Mostly, though, I used the Lee and RCBS presses for years until I got a very good deal on a very lightly used Redding Ultramag that I found at Speedy Gonzalez's shop when it was here in North Texas.
Most of the time I use two or three of those single-stage presses at the same time, with a different die in each one. That seems quite fast and has worked well for me. I recently added a few more single-stage presses I got online at some very good sale prices. An RCBS Rock Chucker and a Lyman Ideal. The Rock Chucker was such an incredibly good deal that I didn't even ponder what I need it for, and I'm thinking that the Ideal will replace my Lee Reloader that after more than three decades is getting a little loose.
I keep thinking that I want a turret press, but I seem to never get around to getting one.
