I spent years loading .38 spl and .45 ap on a lee turrent press wth a disc powder measure. It was a decient press that made safe ammo with good consistancy. It took three strokes to a round and would produce 150-200rounds an hour depending on my mood and preparation. Best $65 I ever spent in relaoding as it paid for itself in the first 10 box's of ammo.. Having said that, I upgraded to a Lee 1000 full progresive ( a true progresive w case feeded) and was able to speed up producion even furher. It stillcost me under $90 for the 1000 and it had significant advantages. FWIW, you used to be able to call Lee customer service and buy a refurbished turrent or 1000 for near 40% off. I bought several that way. Great deal!
