US45... told ya... reloaders ALL have opinions, and most of us know our equipment and what we're talking about. I'd agree with Dave, don't over buy, a decent single stage or a turret is good. I don't know when Dave last used a Lee Classic turret, but I also have never used a Lyman turret... so I'd say we're on equal ground there....but if he said the quality on the Lee Classic is somehow sub standard, I would have to disagree with him. Fit and finish is fine, and the completed round is correct. I do not use the progressive function on the Lee turret, as I said earlier... I load in batch mode only. Why? because again... I agree with Dave. I can watch every single load and be sure I don't under or over charge.
I also use a Dillon or Wilson gauge to check every completed round. Anal? Probably. But I've never had a FTE/FTF because of a bad round. So....
Just my 2 cents. Which someone will probably add 23 more to in order to make a quarter!
