Lee turret

I'm an accuracy nut so when I was loading rifel stuff with a Lee Turret press I would use it like a single stage press. I would do it like this:

Tumble the brass.
Resize.
trim, chamfer and inspect.
Use a lee hand primer to prime.
drop powder by hand and trickle charge.

( usualy I do 20 rounds per setting) if I working up a new load I will load 5 of each variance.

Seat the bullet. check COAL using a sinclair bullet comparator.

When loading FMJs for my M1 I would crimp.

Just like using a single stage press but instead of needing to install a different die you just rotate the turret.

I now have a Lee Loadmaster And I use the same proceedure for rifle stuff. for my 1911 ( .45ACP) I go progressive and just crank them out.
I have all the doo-dads for the loadmaster so the only thing i stop for is to resupply cases primers powder and bullets. I pause about ever 10 rounds to check levels and powder throw wieght. It's never off but I check anyway. It was off once. Somehow I got a piece of fuzzy string it the powder. pulled all the bullets on the last ten. that was the only one short.
