I have only loaded using the Lee Turret, but I can not say enough. It works flawlessly, makes excellent rifle ammo (I've already shot 1/2MOA at 175 yards without tweaking for better results), and can produce in excess of 200 rounds per hour of "bulk" range fodder.
The turret press combines the ability for high-output with the capability to create high-quality precision rifle ammo while allowing the new reloader (and this is important) to carefully monitor the entire process, since there is only one case in the press at a time.
My recommendation for anyone new to reloading and anyone who wants the mixture of speed and precision is a Lee turret.
Additionally, the turret system allows for a very low cost way to have all your dies mounted and ready all the time. I can go from loading precision 204 ammo to bulk 10mm to 7mm-08 for deer hunting to 357sig without 15 seconds in between.... and when I'm ready to load any of them, I am TRULY "ready", every die is right there. I can body size this case, neck size that one if I need to and seat a bullet, all without changing anything, just spin the turret.
In actuality, I don't know why anyone who doesn't need 1500 rounds or more per week would use anything but a Lee turret, or some other auto-indexing turret press. It's entirely possible, as I have no experience in so doing, that the Lee turret is limited to 1/2 MOA accuracy, but I doubt it. Even if it were, it's enough for me.
