flyrobb,

The determining factor here is how rapidly you burn through ammunition. High-volume shooters eventually will tire of the long hours they have to sit at their single-stage presses in order to keep up with their shooting requirements. They need progressive machines to churn the rounds out quickly.

The turret, as has been stated, is a little faster than the single stage but still considerably slower than a progressive. I use a turret press and probably always will, because I don't shoot enough to justify investing in a progressive. My custom has been to use the cold winter months to load all I will need for the warmer part of the year when I can shoot. At 2-300 rounds a month a turret would probably be sufficient for you, but only you and your schedule can determine if it would do the job quickly enough to suit you. If you're like most folks I know, you have other important demands on your time and can only spend so much of that time at the loading bench.

Best wishes in your choice,
Andy
