I use a Lee Classic Turret press for pistol (45 & 9mm), and with the indexer. I dump and weigh powder often and visually inspect every round. I do use the attached primer and find it to be almost completely reliable. I also use the disk style powder measure that comes with and have gotten it to work reliably.

For rifle (5.56 & 7.62) I use a Lee Breechlock Challenger single stage and a Uniflow powder measure with micrometer, all in batch mode as taught by Father Mike.

I have a Hornady Lock & Load powder scale and measure that I use infrequently.

Like Dave, I also like reloading. It gets me out by myself with my thoughts and relaxes me. I'm a medium volume shooter I guess. Maybe 1000 rounds of 45 a month, and much less of other calibers.

This setup works well for me and the only reason I could think of to move to something more sophisticated is because I'm an engineer and like fancy equipment
