I have a turret press and I like it when I am loading for pistol and such cartridges where I am not interested in the most accuracy I can get from my rig. There is always going to be a little bit of play in the turret press.

If you do not have a single stage press then that is the one I would buy first. You can not beat their strength. The Lyman Orange Crusher, or the RockChucker are the best IMO. They are both basically the same press. Go to the Lyman web site and the RCBS web site. A lot of times they will sell presses with blemishes for a discounted price. I just bought a new Lyman for $60. It was a steal. I can not find a thing wrong with it.

If I were you I would not buy a kit. I would buy each piece, and get the best you can afford each time you purchase an item. The most important thing you can buy is 3 or 4 manuals. Tom.
