Used a Lee turret for years (~20 yrs). Also use a Lee Hand Press (still do) for every caliber I load. Bought a Redding T7 turret as my main press, basically single load. Rarely use my Dillon 550 and only if I feel like mass loading 45acp, 10mm, 380 or 9mm. Most of time if I only load 50 or so, I still use the T7 for 45 acp, 9mm, 10mm or 380. Measure powder using RCBS combo unit. 454 Casull, 45 long colt, 38-40 and 44-40 on the T7.
All rifle (22 Hornet, 223, 7-08, 7mm, 284 Win, 308, 300WinMag, 300 WSM, 375H&H, 416 Rigby, 6.8 SPC, 270 Win) are on the T7.
I am not a volume shooter so I do not mind the time. I use the T7 in single stage, size all brass, then seat all the rounds. Prime using 3 RCBS hand loaders.
Might consider the 550 some day for 223 or 6.8 SPC as I do have 3 AR15 uppers in 6.8SPC and a 700 bolt action in 6.8. Have 2 223 uppers and may change one of those to a better barrel. Just like the assurance of measuring each load for most accurate rounds tho. Not a volume plinker with my AR15s, mostly load developement on the range for hunting use.
