Hi guys not much on intro's normally like to get to the issues on hand but will take a minute or two. I've been reloading 5 or 6 years now, shot loads, rifle and handguns loads. Mostly .223,9mm,few others but .223 is my main loads. I use mostly the lee classic single stage press ( cast iron) I have a 1000 also just never was a fan of progressive cartridge loaders, that's more me the loaders I just pay to much attention to detail I guess and just don't trust progressive loaders. I like to check all my brass for correct length and in a progressive loader this step gets skipped. I can setup my single stage presses as different stations and make pretty good time and trust what I'm doing. One for sizing and trimming, one for decapping, one for bullet seat and one for a light crimp if needed. This works great for me and if I do have to change a setup I normally just use one press and leave the rest setup for 223. Anyways I know I want talk to much on this forum unless I have a issue so let me thank everyone in advance for any advice you can throw my way, cause theirs lots of times when a solution has done been resolved for another member thats had a similar problem.
Thanks again from Southeast Alabama

Herzlich willkommen und einen guten Rutsch ins neue Jahr!
You could get a second turret, and make a five station out of it... in the first turret, you install a universal decapping die in station one, a sizing die in station two, and a deluxe quick trim in station three. After that you got decapped, sized and trimmed brass ready for the tumbler. In the second turret you install either a sizing die in station one, or a universal decapper, but you actually need it only for case and shellplate alignment here. On station two and three you go on as always.
