IA Born Report post Posted April 8 My wife recently got a new pistol and that's got me back to shooting pistols more. That, and my son loves burning through 9mm with his Sig. That has me thinking about getting a turret press to accompany my current RCBS RCII single stage. I've been doing as much reasearch as I can, and it looks like a turret press is right for me, as opposed to a progressive press set up. I'm not burning through 500 rounds/weekend, which is what I'm reading a progressive press is great for. A turret press seems to be the right choice for our level of shooting, along with being more affordable; therefore, being easier to justify with my wife. I know a turret press can do everything my Rock Chucker can do, but I'm not really interested in getting rid of it. I just love the single stage process for my hunting rifles. I have a friend who uses his single stage press for his pistols, but I don't have that kind of patience. The turret press would be used for 9mm, 45acp, 40SW, 30 Super Carry, 357/38, and our ARs. I know what I'm getting into with the cost of the plates and dies for all of these, but I also have pro deals for some of this, making that part of the cost sting less. My digging into reviews suggests the Lee Classic Press is a good one for the money, as is The RCBS (mid-range price/value). The Reddingt T-7 has amazing reviews, but is more than I want to spend. So what am I missing in my thought process? What is a solid turret press I can get without breaking the bank? Anyone have a solid turret press they are looking to unload?

creekhiker Report post Posted Sunday at 02:18 PM I use a Lee classic turret. Works great. Also have a Lyman turret press I could sell at a good price. Have extra trimmers, funnels, etc. I'm on the east side of town if you want to check it out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's a great question. Depends on new vs used. Was hoping to stay under $400 for initial set up, knowing dies and plates are going to run me up on $$ down the road, but that all depends on what deals I can find.
