I know what your talking about. I've got a torn rotator cuff in both shoulders and can only do so many cycles of the handle before I have to stop and rest.
I started on a Lyman single stage and then went to a Redding T-7 turret. The Redding is a great press and does speed thing up. Adding 2 more turret heads has lots die sets ready to go. But, no matter how you look at it it's 4 cycles of the handle per cartridge. I'm good for about 500 a session, then have to stop for an hour or so.
When I find out the final damage from Christmas and there's a few bucks left I'm ordering a Dillon 550B. After you get going it's 1 pull for one cartridge. For me this decision comes with shooting bowling pin matches, IDPA and other fun games that seem to eat ammo faster than I have time to reload for.
