Not really, you still can only work on one round at a time. A real progressive has 4,5, or 6 rounds loading a one time. the 550 = 4, the 650, RCBS pro 2000, and LNL AP =5 , and the Dillon 1050 = 6 rounds at a time on a multible shell holder (plate). The Lee may auto-index its turret, but it still only has a single shell holder. Lee also has 4 station and a 5 station progressives. The Lee Pro 1000, and the Lee Load Master.

No it is a turret press it's just auto indexing. Check out this video so you will be able to compare to the T7.

With a true progressive press you get a loaded round every time you work the lever (without doing anything else with the other hand). The Lee turret press is a turret press & not a true progressive.
Some people downplay the Lee stuff and it's true that they have come up with the odd hare brained concept over the years (who hasn't) but I use the cheap little Lee "C" press as well as the Lee portable hand press (I own 3 of them.....they're cheaper than most reloading dies!) that I take on trips or to the range when I'm working up loads. They get the job done for a fraction of the money. I've sized & reloaded .416 Remington cases with the Lee hand press......what more do you need?

Lyman
I had a Lyman Turret which worked fine, but I didn't notice a real speed increase from my Rockchucker.
I did pick up a Piggyback II progresive a few weeks ago and that really is a step up from either a turret or single stage. I have only loaded 38 SPL on it so far, but I am impressed with it.

"200 rounds per hour. Very easy to do on the Lee classic turret. After watching the video of the T7 I'm not so sure about the other turrets."
The original queston was "Turret Press choice........Redding, RCBS, Lyman,.."
Between those three, there are no significant differences to make a choice. Pick your color and pay your price.
Lee's Classic Turret is the better tool because of its combination of features; Auto-indexing (which does speed the process significantly), very low cost heads that can easily be swapped by hand in seconds, excellant spent primer handling, excellant fully adjustable lever design. It's a superior tool, at any price.

I see your point now Ranger335V. I forgot the Lee wasn't included in the original post.
