So far I've just got the Redding 3br. I'd really like to get a second one with the pistol insert and if/when I get a dillon 550 I'll get several of their powder measures to allow quick change between calibers.

1 (You're normal, maybe a little below average)
2 (Good, I call 2 normal)
3 (You're dedicated)
4 (Maybe that's enough)
5 (Okay, no more!)
More than 5 (You need help!)

I only have 6 I guess, with shotshell presses and all.
I only have two: a Lee perfect and a Lee auto disk. Wait I have a whole package of Lee Powder dippers. Do they count?
How many powder measures do I have? Let me see...
1. Ideal No.5 - bought this 'cause I thought it was cool, and use it for measuring Black Powder charges;
2. Hollywood Micrometer - belonged to my Dad, and is my "go to" measure;
3. Lyman No.55 - came in the deal with a Spar-T press several years back;
4. Redding 3BR - actually the first measure I bought, but hasn't seen much use since I got the old Hollywood;
5. RCBS Uniflow - got this from my brother when he quit handloading, I've never used it but it's there just in case...
Do the charge cups (dippers) that came with Ideal and Winchester hand tools count?
2 RCBS Uniflow
3 RCBS Little Dandies
1- Lee Perfect
1- Herters
1- Lyman 55
2- Dillon
And- 1 set of Lee scoops for my experiments
Does brass cases soldered to copper wire for my predetermined light loades count for anything?

I have two Uniflows - one in Maryland and one in Arizona, two Lyman #55s - one for Holy Black and one regular, one Redding that I need to do some work on, and two Dillons. IMHO, the Dillon measures don't really count, being dedicated to the 550B. I actually need more Dillon measures - one to go with each toolhead. All it takes is money.
And right now I'm looking for a dedicated pistol powder measure. I may just buy the small drum for my current Uniflow and call it good; we'll see. Maybe I should just make a trip to MD and bring a whole bunch of stuff to AZ - including all my powder measures! Unfortunately, I don't have the room.
Oh, and I have a set of the Lee powder dippers - do they count?

A Lyman 55, a Redding BR, RCBS and, my favorite, a B&M.
2 RCBS Uniflows, (1large and 1small rotor), 1Little Dandy, and for some reason an Auto Disk Measure. Of course the Dillon has it's own.....
Make it 5 measures.

Well I voted 4, but now that I think about it, if'n you want to be TECKNIKOOL...
RCBS Uniflow
Lee Perfect Powder Measure
Lee Auto Disk
Lyman 55 black powder
Lee dipper set
plus 2 adjustable brass volumetric measures for black powder, but I'd hardly count those, theyr'e just in 2 possibles bags for different guns.
I have 7 Dillon Powder Measures and one RCBS powder measure for the Rock Chucker
Crud when I did the survay and said 4 I forgot the dillons (3) and the Pact.

RCBS, never used these days, a Lyman 55, a Harrell's, and one on the Dillon.
One set of Lee Powder Dippers and an RCBS balance scale. I do my loads one at a time, after prepping the cases. Use dipper to trickle power into balance pan, dump charge into case, insert case in reloading press shell holder, add bullet and seat. Set aside the seated rounds for later crimping.
This is my way of preventing 'squib loads' or double charges. Slow and steady without distractions.

Lee dippers, Lee PPM, RCBS Uniflo, use the dippers the most, bought them last.
No need for speed, and I'm to old to change !

Hmm, two Ohaus Duo-Measures, two Hornady LNL (one dedicated to .50BMG), one B&M, and a Redding 'bank vault dial'. I don't count the two Dillons because I don't use that press anymore.

I need to change my vote from 4 to 9. I was looking at my bench today and discovered a bunch of measures I didn't count. Looks like I'm going to hell.
