I won't get into what is better, just what has worked for me. With my single stage press I had to remove one die and replace it for the next step of the reloading process. With a turret press you just load and adjust all the dies for a specific caliber and you are done. It just saves time. I full length size all my brass and as the Lyman turret press has a rod brace at the rear of the turret I have found no difference in the quality or accuracy of my reloads. Is it as strong as my rock chucker "NO", is it as fast as a progressive "NO" but, for someone like me who likes hands on "quiet" "me time" without the need to continually swap out dies, turrets are the cats meow
