I got the lee anniversary kit 2 years ago, (single stage press for my rifle loading - 22-250/7mm rem mag/ 300 win mag) - after selling all my r-l equipment many years ago. I personally would not use a turret press on rifle ammo, mainly because I'm really annal about hand trickling/weighing each shot right down to the exact charge. that being said, I load about 50 rds/hr tops. But that works for me. I build my "stash" up in small increments, and thus it is very precise. Anyway, for what you are describing, I'd go w/ a single stage. It won't take much space, and you can build a small bench. Main thing is have something rock solid, so when you seat your bullets, the seat depth is consistant. PM me if you have more specific questions.
