Has anyone weighed out the powder charges that a turret dispenses and compared them to the accuracy of the weight to a what a single stage like a rock chucker dispenses? Would it be within 5%, 1%? I ask because after reading the "basics" sticky at the top I am trying to figure out which kind of loader to get. I want to get the best possible accuracy I can, because I will be loading hunting rounds for my rifle and my 44 mag pistol, but I will also be loading cheaper FMJ loads for general plinking with 44 special, 40 cal, and 38/357, and just maybe 9mm. Above, Dave mentions that if loading for a pistol, a turret might be the way. I kinda doubt I will ever get to the point of shooting 200 rounds a month, so I'm guessing that a single will not be that much work, BUT if a turret is just as accurate at dispensing gunpowder, then I would rather have that. I ordered The ABC's book already and it should be here Monday, so it might have the answers I am looking for, but if the choice is going to be clear anyway, I figured I might as well be on the lookout for a good used press so I will have one when I finish my homework. So, that's my first long and drawn-out question for you guys - just how accurate, or inaccurate, is a multi state (like the Lee Classic Turret) if you seriously compare it to a single (like the RCBS Rock Chucker)?

Is one meant for pistol and one for rifle? Thanks guys,

However, the new Lee Classic Turret Press, capable of 200 rounds or better per hour, is beefy and may very well be a good choice for rifle as well as pistol.)
