[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1910032, member: 423"] For the low volume shooter, who shoots both rifles and pistols, I'd recommend the Lee Turret. You can load reasonable volumes without wanting to pull your hair out (ask someone who has a single stage about loading pistol rounds in quantity). And it will allow you to load rifle rounds. You can use the press as an auto-indexing turret for volume, or removed the indexing rod (easy, no tools) and use as a non indexing turret. The following items get you set up for the first caliber. Total is about $275. Just add components.
