For some reason I just seem more comfortable with the workflow on a single stage, and I have definately decided not to buy a progressive. Anyone else here gone from a turret or progressive press back to a single stage to simplify things? Better yet is there anyone else out there that actually loads a fair amount of handgun ammo on a single stage rather than a turret or progressive press?
I use a Rock Chucker 2 to load pistol ammo. I enjoy the zen of reloading and being retired, have the advantage of time. During the snow months, I will crank out 3000 rounds or so of .38 Special and a like number of .45 ACP. That will do me for the next shooting season.
I stay single stage because I want to see each powder drop, weigh every 10th round, check each tray with a flashlight, etc. That is just how I prefer things.
I have improved my RC2 by adding a Hornady Lock N Load conversion kit for quicker die changes and replacing the lever with an ERGO Roller from Inline Fabrication.
I have a Lee Classic Turret and it is a fine press. I just prefer the old Rock Chucker, lousy primer catching system and all.
