Plus you can save enough $$ over the Dillon to go by a new gun
I agree, a Lee Classic Turret Press is the best of both worlds. Remember, I said "Classic", not "Deluxe" press. For a few dollars more the Classic press is well worth the money and so is the Pro Auto-Disk powder measure over the standard powder measure.

You will be very happy with that turret press. With handgun ammo I can safely load between 180 to 200 rounds per hour with it and it can easily be used for rifle rounds without the auto-index rod installed. The price is right too, look HERE. For $212 including the Pro Auto-Disk upgrade you get most of what you need including a set of dies of your caliber choice. Add a scale, load manual (or two or three) and set of calipers with a tumbler and you're fairly well set up.
