I'm on a tight budget and found this press kit for under $150. Does anyone have any experience with it? If I'm only planning to reload .375, would it be worth getting a turret over a single stage press? Any advice is appreciated.

I agree 100% with this advice..you will pay more attention to what you're doing with a single stage press...Ive been reloading for near 20 years and still use 2 single stage presses for my rifles and have had no accidents yet When I need expert advice I tend to talk to myself The older I get the better I used to be

I unhooked the rod that makes it rotate and use it like a single stage I like that I can have all my dies set up and not have to make any adjustments as long as all components are the same I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

If you're only loading for one cartridge/rifle, then an inexpensive single stage press will be the way to go. You will need sizing, seating and trim dies, calipers and scales, plus a few other small items and you will be good to go. Dying ain't much of a living boy...Josey Wales Molon Labe

I do feel you pay more attention starting on a single stage since only one task is done at a time. It's great practice to do one thing at a time over and over. Not sure the turret really saves that much time as I still have to adjust/readjust the dies so if anything it really just organizes all my dies together in a round disk. lol
