Vaalpens, with bottleneck rifle cartridges I just take the index ride out and turn the turret manually and do each step in batches.
For pistol rounds, it's definitely much easier to just size while you're making them and run all four stations. It's not a problem if you have a carbide resizing die. If your turret gets out of time, don't freak out just go to the Lee website and there's step by step instructions on how to fix it, and I believe it may have come in the instructions with your press. I have had it happen twice and it's a pita but easily fixed.
I have always had a different process for 357sig vs my other pistol rounds. I'm not sure yet how I will automate 357sig with the turret, but initially I will probably follow your suggestion to remove the auto indexing and stay with the batch processing. Even the Auto-Drum I have not incorporated in my 357sig load process since the expansion is not that precise.
