[QUOTE="TeamTomlyn, post: 3698229, member: 46099"] I have and use both and it depends. Having all your dies set up at once and to be able to toggle between them is a huge time saver on the turret press. It is definitely faster than a single stage, especially for load development. I do have some apprehension on absolute perfect alignment and the "play" that is necessary for turrets to work. Single stage solves a lot of alignment and play issues but/and its a slower pace that gives you more time for details. I shoot out to 1000 yards and honestly there are so many more factors at play I've never noticed a difference. However if prize money was on the table and I had the time I would be going single stage all the way. All that being said. Accurate powder dispensing is the big time killer and will affect your accuracy the most. Volumetric powder measures can get you close but then your trickling powder to get a consistent charge. Bought a RCBS chargemaster to speed things up and make life easier. So I no longer have to hunch over and squint at my scale with a trickler but just about the same amount of time is spent tapping my foot lol. [/QUOTE]
