ok I've done my homework and decided on a Redding T7. I have three setups in mind, and I am leaning on your knowledge and experience to push me toward the one that makes the most sense. I will be loading 357, 41 and 44.
1. Redding T7 setup with 41, 44 and my powder measure on the turret. A second turret that I will have to swap out to make 357. Will remove powder measure from the 41/44 turret and use it on the 357 turret.
2. Same as above, but I ditch the idea of the powder measure on the turret and mount it to the bench, saving work when I switch turrets.
3. For not a whole lot more than buying the extra parts to swap turrets on the Redding, instead I buy a Lee Value Turret and a Lee Auto Drum measure and set it up for 357 next to the Redding on the bench. The cost difference is less than $100, and I'm ready to load any of the three calibers and the most work it would cost me is changing the powder drop on the Redding when I switch from 41 to 44.
Option 3 only came to me yesterday, but it seems like it eliminates a little hassle for not much more money. I'd appreciate your feedback because you guys all know a lot more about this than I do. Thanks!
