I seriously wouldn't bother with a turret press. Unless your churning out hundreds of rounds you don't need it plus you'll be wanting to weigh each load to start off with.

i bought a second hand Lee progressive 1000 press, its an older model with only 3 holes in it but i have 3 of the mounting plates, one is fitted with the decap/resize die (as i prefer to decap then polish) and the other 2 with .38 & 357 dies and powder measures, i bought a s/h lee classic cast to reload .308/7.62 again the only thing i bought new was the case trimmer.
So far i think the Lee products are great for what they are, if you want to go down the precision reloading/shooting shooting then the sky's the limit.
Good luck and as always just ask on here as the guys are great and helped me loads (no pun intended) when i first started.

I have never used a Lee press, reports vary but by and large they seem to do a good job.

What I would say is to stick with a normal single stage press and a hand primer. I load rounds by the hundred for CSR and still use a single stage Forster press. Sure it takes a bit longer but I handle each case and I KNOW it is properly aligned. Each round is handled and any nasties spotted.

I know people operating multi stage and automated presses such as the Dillon series and they need a lot of setting up.
