When I started I wanted to reload as inexpensively as possible and just some hard to find or expensive rounds to save a little cash. No special gadgets for priming, single stage RCBS partner press, original priming setup, wash my hands before and after each reloading session to make sure no oil or grease on them, hand place primers and prime on the single stage press. I did everything in batches, clean, deprime, resize, wipe off sizing lube, prime, powder, bullet, crimp.
I got the turret press when I started reloading 9mm due to volume, no lube on these so I clean the brass, set up the turret and have at it, still prime on press, one at a time. maybe I am a bit OCD but I like the built in checks and balances doing everything one step and one bullet at a time affords me. Even with the turret, clean case, universal deprime as prep work, then size, prime, powder, bullet, crimp on the turret for 9mm
I did buy a safety prime for my Lee classic turret, and a hand primer since that time, but TBH I have not taken them out of their boxes because the process I have works so far with no issues. Some day I probably will, but, for now, if it aint broke ...
