Is batch operation.

If you are loading then it defeats the purpose of the turret press having to take the case in and out a few times. I doubt you will be able to load close to 200 rounds an hour hand priming which is not hard to do using the safety prime.

The production of rounds per hour doesn't matter to me, because I don't count my time that way. Turret and progressive presses only have partial benefits for me. So, generally, I don't bother with them.
I take a batch (say that 200 cases you load in an hour on your press), and size them all. Then a trip through the tumbler. Then after that, inspection and mouth flaring then hand priming (that way, if a case cracks when being flared, I don't waste a primer
). Then powder charging (incuding a visual inspection in the loading block (to check for over/under charging), followed by bullet seating, and crimping, where appropriate. Same process with rifle rounds, except without the flaring for bottle necked rounds.
Length, and condition are checked during inspection after tumbling, and trimming and chamfering done when needed.
Yes, all together I'm sure I spend more than an hour on that batch of brass, but I don't have to spend it all at once. And, besides, I like reloading!
