I've been loading for decades and I have several single stage presses and several progressives, and they are all good tools.

I can load 150/hr on the singles and 500/hr on the progressives.

But since it only takes me about 10 seconds to change out any die on any of them once the die is setup and locked, I don't have a use for a turret on my bench right now.

It's convenient having a progressive set up and dedicated to a high volume caliber, and if I needed to crank out rounds faster than that all I would need is more primer tubes.

But my obsessive need to visually check every powder charge in every case before seating the bullet is a self imposed limitation.

Any of the top maker single stage presses are capable of producing match grade ammo and case forming.

Good tools are good tools, and Redding certainly makes some of the best.
