I spend an evening sitting in front of the tv, or talking to my Mrs.... while I prime. All of these are "batch" exercises. Then I spend an hour flaring the cases.... and put them in a plastic coffee can ... ready to powder charge and finish. Each process is a "batch"... The logical stopping point is once they have been flared and primed. Currently I have about 1000 in that condition. When I am going shooting, I'll take 100-200 and powder charge and seat bullets. That final process will take about a half hour or so. And I'm off to the range.

See, that was my point in my earlier post. Working on a single stage or a turret, you have to do EVERYTHING manually, 1 step at a time. HOURS, HOURS I say.
Where as with a progressive, 1 pull, 1 bullet. Instead of hours to complete a simple task, it's done in minutes.
Call it the youngster in me, but I just don't have the time nor the patience to do it that way. That's why I'm all for a progressive.
Now if I were making small test batches or going for accuracy, yes, a single stage is what I would want to use.
