    I have a 12 station Hollywood and the t7. I hate setting up dies. I just want to reload. The turret is great for fixing those one or two that something went wrong with. Love the Hollywood for strait wall cases. Love the redding for bottleneck cases. Would like to find another Hollywood universal someday. Each press seems to have something it does better than the others. The t7 has massive leverage. The Hollywood has a shorter stroke that works great with the small pistol cases. Would not part with either.

I can think of a four die set possibly, what else could you even put in the fifth and sixth positions that would make sense within a normal workflow? Press mounted CH4 Swager or ? Just trying to figure out the logic behind the design.
      For rifle rounds, I was going to try using an Lube Die, Sizer, Lee Trim Die, Uniflow, Seater, & maybe FCD. Haven't actually done it yet

      I was waiting for a deal on the Lee Classic Turret till I saw Fleet Farm had the RCBS Turret on sale for $118, jumped on it on impulse. Otherwise I am not sure I would have bought it. For average street price of an RCBS Turret, I think I would have spent a little more and bought a Redding T-7.

        How about posting a picture of that beast?

          I keep a RCBS turret on my bench. Use it more as a utility device than to use it for batch loading. It's nice to be able to keep a seating die, bullet puller or swager handy when doing batch loads on the 2000 or 650.
