I do my rifle stuff on the single stage in batches of 20 or so rounds of each process so the swapping dies is no big deal.
I use the single stage to prep my brass for 223 but it's loaded on the dillon. Brass prep for 223 range brass is a a multi step process for me. I use a universal decapping die to knock out the primers and then I wet tumble the cases for a couple hours. After they are dry, lube, resize, swage the primer pockets and trim to length. Then back into the wet tumble and set out to dry. The process obviously takes a few days of spare time. The cases are then loaded on the dillon, but no case sizing is actually done on there so no lube is required.
For the way I do my reloading, the single stage press is a very important piece.
