    Yes you did! You are in good company.
    I do see an advantage to a turret set up but a washer is just as easy to change. I have too many turrets set up for different calibers to consider buying more. I ran out so I use a single stage for the rest. For me it is expense.

    Many years ago, some die sets had a size-only die, a second die that de-capped and belled the case mouth with one stem in the middle, then a third die to seat and crimp. On this die set only, the de-cap and belling step would require different dies (or at least stems.). Fortunately these die sets are long obsolete and seldom encountered.
