On a beginner reloading setup? 44 magnum handgun, 30-06, 7mm Rem Mag, 30-30, maybe a few 7.62x39. Maybe sub $550? Lee is cheap, but reviews are bad for accessories. RCBS partner kit, anyone? I'm not a pro shooter. Minute of deer to 400 is good enough for me.

Lee classic cast turret

I load 44 30-06 , 30-30 on mine , you might have to pull the index rod on 7mm rem mag and hand rotate but it isn't like you make a thousand of those

all your dies stay in turrets so you set them up once if you don't change bullets

lee dies

if you want to run some one else's scale sure do it

I prim on press I have 4 primer holders 2 large 2 small I keep them labeled and loaded with LPP SPP LRP SRP so there is no question what I have in there.

I also have auto disks or auto drums , or pro auto disks

for anything under 50 gr the auto drum works well so you might get a separate powder measure for the 7mm mag but again you don't make those by the thousand

as for accuracy my 223 rounds 10 under a dollar at 400 yards shot from prone all those powder charges were as dropped from the auto drum I check the first few then every so often but not every one , I watch to make sure they fill to about the same spot in the neck each time.

RCBS Rock Chucker kit

I have had the Rock Chucker kit for 30 years. Works great.

If they're building them anything like the Rock Chucker of old, that gets my vote.

Rock Chucker. I've been using one for over 40 years and it is still going strong. I have 2 dillons 650 and 1050 automated but when I want to load for max accuracy and consistency I ALWAYS go to the rock Chucker.

Rock chucker as well, master kit has everything ya need except caliper and dies.

Rock chucker here also

Rock Chucker since 1970 IIRC

Rock Chucker 30+ years on mine and not a second of regret

Gets my vote also. Buy a kit and then add whatever else you might need.

I acquired a lee loadmaster progressive press recently. I've only loaded about 100 rounds on it so far, but I am not a fan of it at all. I wanna get something single stage like the guys have recommended here

Lee is cheap, but reviews are bad for accessories.

I have to disagree on that. All Lee stuff is excellent as far as I'm concerned. You can't beat the Lee turret press setup for ease of use. I've got two of them and just love them. I also have two Rockchuckers and a Dillon. The Lee's see the most use by far.

Rock Chucker. Load 6MM, 30-06, 38 Spl, 357 Mag, 44 Mag, 223, 22-250.
Have had it for 30 years without any problems.

Rock Chucker .

Thanks for the input fellas. There was a clear winner!

RCBS has awesome customer service

Well I bought one awhile back and decided on the hornady lock and load. Sounds ike I may should have went with the RCBS rock chucker.

Lee Classic Turret is a fine setup.

I bought a lock n load from Hornady as well...I like the press, just wish it came with a case trimmer. My uncle bought a rockchucker years ago, I suppose I should have too, but they were quite a bit higher, and everything I do is on a budget! Lol
