I'm aware of the basic differences of how a turret press reloads versus using a progressive press. I've seen numerous Internet videos on both of these, and I recently had the opportunity to go to a friend's place to use his Dillon 450B rig to load a few hundred rounds of 38 and 357. Very nice, indeed! I'm close to buying some equipment and getting into the enjoyment of "rolling my own." Thus, my question --
On all of the turret and progressive setups that I've seen in action, the priming and powder-charging mechanisms are mounted somewhere on the press and come into play at the appropriate step in the reloading sequence. If I were to decide to "poor boy" my way into this by going with a single stage setup (at least at first), I understand that I would need to change the dies from step to step. That's easy to understand. However, it's not clear to me how you do the priming and charging when using a single step press. Any and all insights, bits of wisdom, etc., etc. are warmly welcomed. Thanks!
