Gloob,
I'm not here to argue with you. You don't have a turret, I do. I have a breech lock single stage as well. The turret is hands down faster.
Changing calibers is as fast as changing a single die on the breech lock and all dies are in place(so actually it's way faster). Once you have a established load using the the auto disk it is a matter of about 2 mins too to unscrew 2 brass screws and install the right disk. It IS easier to change on the auto disk than the perfect powder measure. Sone of your arguments of you assuming things that you admittedly have no experience with.
You can claim all the speed you want and I don't argue with your figures on each operation. But the real time saver is the fact that you don't have all the time handling brass by taking it off and on the shell holder.
I might concede that the autoprime is faster than the safety prime IF you are dealing with already sized brass and IF you were nit worried about cleaning primer pockets.
Bottom line: when one uses all of the functions of the turret press you put the case in the shell holder one time. The next time it comes off is when it is a completely loaded round. No way you can keep up on a single stage.
Also, yes seating and crimping really speeds you up on single stage. On the turret it might add 2-3 seconds to each round but that time is easily made plus some up for with not having to mess with a loading block and removing and reinstalling the case.
You might be the worlds fastest single stage loader but you would still be faster on a turret. FACT
