Not trying to convince anyone of anything here.
3 post on using a single stage and the volume you load and your not selling it? If you say so
You seem to be offended by any one that would want to use a single stage.
How did you arrive at that conclusion? I even stated he would find a need for one here:
Don't know if it's been mentioned yet (wait it has) but...You will find a need for a single stage!
The point is that your repeated post (3 before my remarks) on how capable a single stage is and how much you reload and shoot. To me that is at least one time (if not two) more than necessary to make the point. To me either that is selling, bragging or rambling, from where i am standing and maybe i missed something but it seemed to detract from what I feel we were suppose to be trying to accomplished from the beginning and that is to help the op to decide whether or not to keep and use the single stage press etc.
What I read in each one is a statement that you only need a single stage and that you reload and shoot a lot.
If I missed your points I apologize. I may be reading them all wrong, but from where I was standing it looked that way. So lets revisit and you tell me what it was:
First post:
Started with a RCBS single stage years and years ago, Still using same press. never found the need for progressive. I shoot a lot.
You load a lot, shoot a lot and the single stage is all you ever needed was my interpretation.
Second post:
Actually I shoot comp and shoot more than 80% of people here. Every Sat and Sun about 300 - 500 rounds a day. I use a single stage press and find it very easy to stay on top of making rounds. Time consuming-Yes, Enjoyable- Yes.
Still find lots of time for the wife and kids too. Been using a single stage since day one years and years ago. Quality not quantity
You shoot competition and more rounds than 80% of people here followed by 300-500 per day times 2 days = 600-1000 per week (IE you shoot a lot and have to load a lot) and you use a single stage and still have time for wife and kids and been doing it since you started ....etc. Notice you said you use a single stage twice here and we already know you reload on nothing but it because once again you said it?
Third post:
I can't speak for others that use a single, but for me I do not do 50 at a time.
I will prime 200 to 300 at a time, Powder all in one step and then seat the bullets all at one time. It is much slower than a progressive, but don't make it sound likes it's that slow. I hand prime while I watch TV or chat with the better half, Powder at the kitchen table ( No talking or TV). And even on a single stage to seat 200 or 300 bullets is pretty fast. I powdered 100 rounds last night in 35 minutes.Powdered 200 more tonight in little over a hr.. Tomorrow I will seat all the bullets and be done with one rifle.
Once again how well it works for you and how it is fast enough to serve your high volume needs.
Either way all three post about the single stage is all you use, how much you load, and how it works for you is what I read. The worst part is it was not like a reciprocating set of post other than the comment about not knowing if Machineguntony liked a single stage or not, it was just post after post of the same thing to me.
At this point I skipped making drinks and grabbed the whole bottle.
Maybe we need an open forum break room for start up discussions that can be repetitive and have no purpose or direction other than to kill time or fulfill a void. Until then I will be skipping out and of here while i empty a meaningless bottle to fill an empty bladder and waste perfect water in the flush.
breath deep a few times, relax, have a drink.Not trying to convince anyone of anything here. And yes every round is a 600 to 1400 yard round. Precision rounds are much easier to produce on a single stage. I don't make plinking rounds, as I don't own any plinking rifles. I just was saying that a single stage is slower than a turret press, but they are not as slow as some would think when you work in stages. Each to there own.
