I'm back at single stage now...
I loaded about 190 rounds of 9mm last night. I use four dies, so it took about 2-1/2 to 3 hours on my single stage set-up. I admit, it was getting a little old toward the end.

I'm not sure what "faster but not by a lot" means to you, but I can EASILY produce 190 rounds of handgun ammo in ONE hour with my Classic Turret. I mean EASILY. The last time I loaded handgun ammo it was 100 rounds of 357 sig, which requires a 5th step with the Factory Crimp Die. That means I switch turrets after loading and rerun every round with the indexing rod removed. The ENTIRE process took 25 minutes. That's a rate of 240 rounds an hour, with an extra step. 200 rounds an hour is darn near a leisurely pace. Your numbers come out to 76 rounds per hour, best case. That makes my turret press over 3 times faster than your single stage.
