Unless you shoot high volume (many hundreds a month), a single stage will serve you well. I load batches of 100 pistol rounds or 10-20 rifle rounds on my single stage...and have for the 10 years I have been at this game. I find the routine soothing after a chaotic day at work and around the kids. YMMV.

My experiences with turret presses are that they are sloppy...as in machined looser than a decent single stage press. No biggie for pistol and plinking rifle rounds, but lousy for precision loading for accuracy. The 30 seconds it takes to change dies (with the good lock rings now standard in die sets) just isn't worth it IMO.

K.I.S.S. is the watchword when you are starting out. The RCBS starter kit is excellent. Lee tools are underrated, especially for a beginner who may decide he/she doesn't like it.

Have fun!
