Thanks guys I am still debating the cost v/s using my Redding t7 and buying extra turrets. I don't know that I need the speed.

Creedmor sports sells a turret shim kit and machined turrets.

The shim kit,

The upgraded turret.

I use the lyman t8 shim kit on mine, but standard cast heads.

I never worried too much about speed, but accuracy. I found loads for each caliber that were more accurate than I was, set up each caliber's tool head for that load combination and stuck with it. Served me well for years.

I don't look back at the things I can't do anymore with regret, I just look forward to the things I still can.
