BigjakeJ1s in post #19 pretty well sums up my feelings. I have 2 single stage presses, a 550 and an LNL AP. I have also loaded extensively on my buddies 650. The LNL AP is superior and a lot less expensive, especially when additonal quick caliber changes are figured in. In addition the LNL AP produces ammo that is more concentric (measurably better than the Dillons) and therefore more accurate.

The Lee Classic turret will serve you well if you are going to load 500-1000 rounds per month. Kempf's is the better outifit to deal with an the turret.

AS for reloading 7.62X39; I have the dies and shell plate, but the problem I find is getting reloadable cases at a decent price. The majority of loadable 7.62X39 cases cost more than loaded ammo. When you then figure in primer bullet and powder, it is not economical to reload.

Good Shooting!
