I've been reloading for 50 years on various single stage presses. Spotted an older Lyman A-A turret press at a flea market and bought it .
Not a bad press , great for doing handgun ammo, mine's set up for 38 Special. Each die is left adjusted , I do a batch of 50/100 , like it is a single stage , then move to the next die. Some think spinning the turret around and around doing one complete round at a time is the way to go but I don't like that method.
The new A-A's are beefier so should be better for rifle , 223 and such should be a snap for it. ...you don't state what you will be loading.
I always advise new guys that a good single stage press will always be useful. Lots of odd jobs, small lots and little things they are needed for. Some long rifle rounds benefit from the compound linkage when resizing .

The turret press main claim to fame is you can leave the dies adjusted, I got mine after all these years and like it just fine . I think you made an excellent choice .
