Load the .50sp on a rockchucker, but that's only because I can't remember to call Hornady and get the shell plate I need for the LNL AP.

If you've already got the single stage, you could do it on there as long as the low speed doesn't bother you. I'm really happy with my turret, it was a big step up from my single stage. Who knows how I'd feel if there was a Dillon next to it, it might just gather dust! I find the turret kind of relaxing to use, while my progressive takes more focus to ensure everything is working correctly. The Lee turret is also pretty stinking cheap to buy!

I think I'll start on the single and see how it goes, that's the zero added cost option at the moment. I enjoy the loading process so it doesn't seem like work.

I'm currently making a new shell holder for my Lee hand prime tool, for 50-70 Government ( couldn't find one from Lee ) so bought a regular RCBS shell holder ( in stock ) actually 2, as I didn't have one with the used set of dies I got with the rifle... I checked the diameter & the top of the shellholder fits the Lee... so, since they are hard, I need to cut off the lug, with a cut off wheel, & belt sand / grind it smooth on the botton, & use a coned grinding wheel from my demel set to enlarge the center hole, so the primer guiding sleeve will fit in the hole... & I should be good to go... there is just something cool about pumping those big 500 + grain .510" bullets down range... I had to modify a shell holder for the hand prime tool, for another cartridge I have... quite a while ago... that is the 22 Center Fire... a modern reicarnation of the 22 Velo-dog... which is about oposite of the 50-70 Govenment  |

I use a lyman crusher single stage for the 50-70 encore
By the way thanks Magnumwheelman for the idea on the shellholder modification. One of those why didn't I think of it things!
Great idea

That's why I post questions on here first, too many times I've learned the hard way. Always a good idea to ask if someone has been down the path before.
Also, got my Rock Chucker mounted snugly next to the Dillon. Bench space is at a premium but it fits nicely and both can be operated without the other getting in the way. Now I'll need to order some 500 brass and start cutting em' down.
