Lyman Comet
I gifted my Dad's Lyman turret to my twin a few years back
More is better. I just grabbed a spare ram prime and dropped it into a cheap lee C press.

Two hollywood presses, A senior and a 12 station Universal. Do hydraulic Presses count for pressing black powder? Dang, I forgot the SL900 For shot shell!
There is a Hollywood on ebay right now... A very seldom seen Hollywood Junior. I had one I found at a yard sale for 5 bucks. Only one I ever saw in hand. I sold the darn thing about 2 weeks later for 150 bucks. I have been selling many of my older presses. I also have an old Pacific C press with the RCBS adapter bar so you can use it for bullet swaging
Rockchucker, Co-Ax, Dillon 650, Herters, Pro-7 in parts, CH in parts,
Never used the CH but I think I have all the parts. I did use the Pro-7 but retired it.

Lyman Hand Press (2)
HDS Compac Hand Press (2)
I have a piece of 1/2" thick aluminum plate 8" x 12" at each end of my workbench, and each plate is drilled and tapped to match the footprint of each press / boolit sizer / bench priming tool. The plates are lag screwed into the 2 x 3/4" plywood benchtop. Machine screw fastener sets are color coded to a press or press family and stored in a multi drawer organizer. I have a set of brass chromated short forged steel combination wrenches I bought at Tractor Supply that are also in the organizer and are used only on the fastener sets for press changing.
Plus a couple dozen 310 tool setups, but that's a reply to a different thread.

I have one Forster co-ax, two Dillons, one MEC, and two Hollywood Senior's. I know I need to pare down but hard to give up old friends.
Rockchucker, 2 RCBS JR's, Lyman Spartan, Lyman hand press, Lee APP, 2 Dillon 550's, 4 Dillon SDB's.
I see a good deal on a press at the gunshow, and I buy it.

1. RCBS Rockchucker, bought 1978
2. Lee Load-all 16 gauge
3. Lee Load-all 12 gauge
4. Ponsness Warren P-200 Metalmatic (for all straight walled handgun cartridges)
5. Texan 256 Double C (This was bought recently at a flea market for $30. It is nearly new. I wanted a small C press for decapping, and was thinking of a Lee. But this for $30 was a much better buy than the aluminum Lee for $50. It is quite sturdy and will do duty for small bottleneck cartridges, too. The Rockchucker will be left to jobs more suited to its capabilities: full length sizing of full size rifle cartridges and when Lee large size dies are used.
