I run two Lee Classic Turret presses and generally keep the Auto Index feature engaged to run a piece through from raw case to finished round in 4 strokes. This method produces 4 rounds/ min or 150-160 rounds/ hr (with breaks for replenishment, coffee refills etc) .
The issue with running a batch of brass through one station at a time is that you end up handling each piece of brass 6-8 times. That takes time and robs efficiency. Still, Turret presses are versatile and it is nice to have that option for experimentation /small batches.
If your Turret press has Auto index (or if you rotate it by hand between strokes) you only handle the case twice ( unless you decide to interrupt the cycle.) Also, it is much easier to get into a rhythm this way. It goes much faster and still gives you the control that Turret presses are famous for.
If you go to U tube and search "Turret Presses" you'll find some good Demo video's there. Lee's website has some too.
