I loaded for over 20 years on a 3 hole Turret before moving to Pro 1000’s. I still use the Turret for 44/40 and I feel that it is actually faster than the 1000 once cases have been primed. I have a system where I rotate the Turret with my left hand while seating the bullet and with my right hand between seating and crimping (I pull the handle with my left hand and resize and reprise seperately) and find I have to slow down to seat the cases properly in the 1000’s shell plate.
But with both presses, once cases are resized and primed, I can run around 400 rounds/hour. Refilling the case feeder tubes is about the slowest action.
