I have a Lee Classic Turret. I also have a Dillon 650 (used for .40) and a Square Deal B (used for 9mm). I like them all, but the Lee gets the most use (there is nothing I have to reload in volume in a short period of time.) I have separate turrets for all my other calibers (.45-70, .30-30, 10mm, .357, .380, .41, .45acp), and they are quick to switch out. It gives you a lot of control and if you want you can switch to a single stage mode.

I would say it is certainly an excellent choice for a first press.

Here's mine set up on my "Cameron" loading stand, an Inline Fabrication reverse rotation kit and Inline Fab roller handle. Did I forget to say you can customize it?
