    At the moment, one lee hand press and one lee C-frame press. I think I might have a lee powder measure somewhere too. Used it for black powder. That's what I used the lee equipment for mostly as I reloaded less and slower there.

    I don't shoot at the moment, haven't in years so I sold the Dillon 650 I used to have. It wasn't my kind of machine anyway. Once I get back into the swing of things I will probably aim for a Dillon 550, I think I should have gone with it from the start. But I also have really good memories of my lee classic cast turret... Priming was a bit fiddly, and I did not care that much for the powder measure type.

    I don't believe I ever replied in this thread because for decades I only had one, a Reloader Special 5 by RCBS. For Christmas I got a pile of Amazon gift cards and finally decided, since it wasn't really my money, to spring for a Rock Chucker. It arrived a couple weeks ago and is mounted. Boy...there is a lot of difference between the #5 and the Rock Chucker. I have also acquired a Lyman 310 tong tool and with the help of a gentleman on the board have a complete set of 32-20 dies. It was fun and relaxing using the old 310 tool. The Rock Chucker, that's serious stuff!!!

    I've had and used in the order the live on my bench a Herters cframe (for 30 years), RCBS JR, Lee Challenger, A Lee turret and a pro 1000 then a Loadmaster for about a year then a 550B and a RCBS Summit that was replaced by CO-AX. Somewhere in there was a Lee Reloader For decapping and sizing.

    The 550B and the CO-AX are all that remain. These 2 presses remain as they accomplish everything I need to do and I'm proud to own them. The 550 does get used as a SS from time to time for bullet sizing.

    Interesting. How do you affix the bullet pusher?

    I just recently simplified. Down to the 2 presses that I use most: Pro 2000 auto-index and the Rock Chucker IV. Previously owned an Ultramag, RC 1, Circle C, and a Summit.

    Just saw this and posted on the poll. (4) Went thru some of the posts and realized they were talking about all of theirs. Well, I didn't count the ones I don't use, some are stored, some are to be rebuilt. Counting those, I can count about 9. 4 I use, Dillon 550, SDB, CH 206 with 4 position plate, single CH. Then, I have shotgun presses, an old Texan, a Lee, a MEC to be rebuilt, an old Texan M11A to be rebuilt, and then there's the Lyman Tru-line Jr. to be rebuilt. I also have a couple I'm cleaning and restoring to sell. Probably another somewhere I forgot about. Have too dang many to keep up with!!!

    More than I really can use, so I just gave one away to a friend who is just getting set up to reload again ...
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    Dillon 550, RC IV and a Lee (used to deprime only, constructed an aluminum table to multitask while watching the tv!)

    Hi,
    Hmm.. I have 4 mounted, on the bench. 3 Hornady progressives, and a Lyman turret. Then there are the dust collectors. A Multiplex, a Lee handloader (my intro to reloading), an RCBS, another Lyman turret, and 2 shot shell reloaders. Whew! Just made it under 11.

    A Dillon 550B and a RCBS single stage that handles all of my needs at this point. Both are set up on my bench. At this point I only reload for pistol but shoot about 2000 rounds per month, keeps me busy after work.

    Still have only the Lyman T-mag and the 650 Dillon. I would have purchased the 550 because its conversion kits are cheaper but it has the same crappy primer system as the Dillon Square Deal. It would be nice if Dillon didn't think so much of their plastic components like the case feed adapter and the assorted care feed parts. Thinking about either another 650 or a husky single stage press.

    I'm down to just three.

    Two Dillon 650 XL and a Hornady single stage.

    After reading how many presses some of you have, I decided to buy my fourth press. I just purchased a Forster Coax to go with my Redding T7, Hornady Lock n Load, and my Sinclair Arbor press. Now I feel a little bit better. LOL.
