    I voted 5, but I have missed one or two.
    Three Pro Auto Disks , a LPPM, two Dillons, and my shot loader. Dippers don't really count, but I have a set of black red and 2 yellow because I'm weird that way.

    I have 2 Dillon measures on different tool heads for 9mm and 380. Just bought a Uniflow because I got a single stage press for 270 win.

    Five now. Sold a Harrells and gave away a Hornady and a Uniflow. The Harrells worked no better than a tuned up Uniflow (still use that one). two Dillons a Hornady and an old Lee auto disk still in use. Believe it or not the old Lee auto disk works like a champ with small pistol charges if its kept half full or better. The reservoir is more glue than anything now, one day it'll fall apart and I'll do something else. Best thing I did for that was replace that monster return spring with something more reasonable but still reliable.

    Only five right now. That isn't counting a set of Lee scoops.

    Put down 5 and then remembered 3 more. I'd better quit thinking about it or I might remember more
    If it doesn't shoot an ounce of lead, its a wimp load.

    I own 5 or 6 but I never use most of them.
    Instead I use an Autoscale for most loads since it will dispense coarse extruded powders to .1 grain with almost no variation.

    Lee PPM, Lee Auto Disk x2, Lee Classic, Lee Auto Drum, B&M, JDS Quick Measure, Lyman 55, Harrells Schuetzen, Dillon, RCBS Little Dandy, Hornady LNL and Lee Dippers.

    The most used are the Lee Classic for single stage and the Lee Auto Drum or Auto Disk or Dillon for progressive.

    Most consistant for flake powders is the 55. Best for extruded/stick powders is JDS Quick Measure. For < 4 grains loads I do use the LD. But of all of them the Lee Classic get used the most.

    Only one per press. But a few more presses - so even with "7" being the answer, I would still consider that "normal" or "below average". Right? I mean RIGHT???

    I have two Hornady LNL's, one Lyman 55, a Belding & Mull, and seven Lee Pro Auto Disc. I use the Pro Auto Disc measures on powder through expander dies on my Hornady LNL Progressive press.

    I’ve got a rcbs, three Dillon 450 measures and three Dillon 550 measures, which are my favorite. I’ve adapted the 550s to work on my lyman turret presses which speeds and simplifies the operation of the turrets. The Dillons with their rear adjustment are such a pain to operate [I always turn it the wrong way] I use the rcbs with it’s micrometer adjustment for my load development. Then I only have to wrestle with the Dillon once to set it and I’m done.
