Default Re: Should I move on to a turret or progressive press?

I use the Lee Classic Turret and I am very cautious with powder for obvious reasons. When I first started reloading a few months ago, I would weigh every 10th charge. As I got more comfortable with the apparatus and more trusting of the charges, I started doing every 20th or so. Now, when I start reloading, I throw two or three charges and then immediately dump them back in the hopper. Then I measure the next charge to verify the equipment. In the several thousands of rounds I have loaded I have not had any issues with under/over charging. In the hundreds of rounds I have weighed and verified, I have not had a single charge that is more than .1 grain off. I use Win 231 and a tenth of a grain isn't going to make or break my paper target shooting. For the record, I reload in the middle of the acceptable range of powder charge.
