I have the Lee 4 hole turret press.
When setting your dies it is done with the ram up, touching shell holder to die, then tighten/loosen "x" amount. Like any die set, this helps with taking any slack out of the turret.

It's nice for pistol, AR,AK rounds as all the dies are there, and simply turn to next operation.
Slower than a progressive press for sure, but i feel i have more control over things, like making sure the case has powder, etc..

For my bottle neck rifle cartridges i take the post out of the center, that spins the turret, and use as a single stage press.
I deprime/size, place in tray, trim, check size/prime, i then turn turret to seating die, measure powder, seat bullet for each round. That way it is completed, and i don't wonder if i missed powder in a round.

While i wouldn't recommend it, i have formed casings with the turret press.
