I have one for each caliber so I can change calibers in 15 - 20 seconds and can load 100 rounds in around 35 . Definitely not Dillon speed but I love using the old equipment and I haven't had to switch or adjust a die in years.
I also use turrent press's. I bought a used Lee three hole press at a LGS for $10.00,removed the auto advavce. Did buy 5 three hole plates. Also found a Lyman turrent press used for $15.00 and use it mostly to prime but did use it before buying the Lee. It's a six hole model.
I disagree with garbler on the Lee, I mostly use Lee equipment and have for 40 years.. I also always crimp rifle loads with the LF C dies. Only my. 204 is not crimped only because I don't have a crimp die in. 204.
The good thing about a Lee turrnt press is you only have to set up dies once. Just change plates when changing calibres
