need advice ...

hey all, i am getting deeper into my shooting hobbie, and i cam considering reloading. I am looking at and really like the Lee Classic 4 hole turret press. The rounds i use are as follows: .45 ACP, .40s&w, .308win, and 8mm Mauser. i also have a 9x18mm makarov, but im unsure weather i will reload that as the ammo is dirt cheap.

would the classic turret press be a good choice for these rounds? if not what would you all suggest? i read in a customer review (i know to take those with a grain of salt) that there might be some issue with rifle rounds longer than a .223.... not exactly sure what maybe it was just some idiot who didnt know what he was doing

currently i am buying in bulk, 500-100 rounds at a time. i am joining a rifle range/club next month so my range outings will likely be increasing. so im looking to lower my costs and increase my supply

I think the Lee Turret Press would be fine.

I reload several calibers myself ... 45 ACP, 9mm, .223, .308, and 45/70 and all I use is a Lee Classic Single Stage Press. You could get away with a single stage press, and things would be simplified, but it's your choice. If you want to go with the turret press I think you will be fine.
