What's the next step? Turret vs Progressive

[Nick_C_S]

You don't need to clean the primer pockets. Some people still do that, but none of them can give you any other reason other than "I like to."

I like to.

I've been strongly thinking about going progressive myself. (I don't see the point in a turret press, btw - maybe it's a rifle thing. I only load pistol.) But I'm so set in my ways with brass prep, and hand priming, and my powder drop-n-check method, etc. I'm just really hesitant to take that leap.

I've loaded for years on a single stage. I recently purchased a Lee Classic Turret press. I'm still getting the hang of it but have enjoyed using it for pistol ammo. Simple enough for an idiot like me but produces a whole lot faster than single stage. Lots of cranks of the handle though.
