I have the auto index turret press and like you I decap then hand prime. so I bought a Lee factory crip die to put in the third hole. That was a great thing to do,the crimp die resizes the whole case when it crimps the bullet and therefore I don't have any FTF from my rounds. I use the factory crimp die in 9mm and .45ACP.

all my decap dies are on a different turret.
I use the Lee auto disk powder measure connected to the expander die in station #1 bullet seat die in station #2 and Factory crimp die in station #3 I load a box of 50 in 8 minutes.
