If I don't have time to set up my dies properly I figger I don't have time to reload.
I don't understand what you're saying. Do you mean your turret press alternative to using a single stage press is to remove, replace and readjust each die at each step in the loading process while keeping each case in the shell holder until it's completed?
If so, yeah, I agree that your reloading will progress much faster with a conventional turret press.
I started reloading in 1965 with a six station iron turret press; still have it. I was taught to "batch process" my reloading, removing each die only at the end of each step. I can batch reload a bag of empties on my single stage faster than I can reliably step and jockey my turret's detent precisely into its proper place.
The high price of turrets (well, all except Lee's and I don't have one of them) prohibits me from having them set up for all the cartridges I reload.
I was also taught to adjust my dies and lock the adjustments in place, including the die lock ring, but not use pliers or wrenches to jam anything in place. I don't use "quick change" inserts at all because I don't need them, I can easily exchange dies by hand in less than a minute.
