First, thanks to one an all for the responses to my post about wanting to speed up production. Lots of helpful info there.
I went ahead and got a Lee Turret press. I've done about fifty 9mm and am liking it so far.
I know it's the same number of "pulls" per cartridge, but not having to remove and insert the brass for each step or change the dies, as in a single stage press, is going to save a lot of time and truly speed things up.
Previously I could only do batches of 100 as that was all the space I had in my reloading trays. Now it's do as many as I want because each bullet is a started and finished in "one operation." Also I like being able to walk away from the table and not leave any cases with powder loads in them sitting out.
I guess the next step is to investigate a powder dispenser that works with the turret press . . . they make that . . . right?
Lots to learn. Thanks to all.
Life is good

Lee Pro Autodisk, or Autodrum. Don't even bother with the older non-Pro Autodisk. You'll also need Lee's riser. If you get the Autodrum you'll probably want to get more of the metering rotors.
