Reloading Presses...How many ya got??

[jonp]

Just picked up a couple more from a member here so now...9?

2 Lee Hand Presses
1 Lee 3 hole Turret with 4 tops
3 Lee Classic
1 Lee Classic Cast
1 Lyman 6 Hole C Press (got free at auction when guy threw it in with some other stuff I bought)
1 Echo C Press

About the only ones I use are the Lee Classic here and the Lee Hand press I keep at camp as I don't load volume usually just enough to develop loads or fiddle around to practice. The Echo I have out in the garage bolted to a bench for sizing big brass like my 416 Ruger although I think I will change it for the Lyman which has more room due to the Echo needing an adapter for Lee shell holders

I guess I need to update my list, as I recently added two (2) MEC-600 Jr's 12-GA and 20-GA and one (1) Lee Load-All in 20-GA (still in box, just got a great deal). So add those to:

1 RCBS Rockchucker single stage
1 Pacific single stage
1 Hornady 007 single stage
1 Lyman Crusher single stage
1 Lee Breech Lock single stage

2 MEC-600 Jr
1 Lee Load-All

Editing again, as have added:
Another Pacific 00-7
RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme
Lee Pro1000
MEC 650 (being refurbished)
A Pacific 07 press (earlier model that became the 00-7).

Sheesh....

[BrianL]

1 Dillon 650
2 Old style Lyman Spartan T-presses (Turret 6 station)
1 RCBS Rock Chucker
1 RCBS RS
1 Lyman Spartan single stage
3 Mec shotshell presses
3 luber/sizer iron presses (2 RCBS & 1 Lyman)

Well, if ya ask me? Not enough! Now if you ask my wife the same question about me, she’ll tell you too many!

[Baltimoreed]

Too many to fit on my bench. Need more cowbell….oops bench.

[BobT]

I have 3 Rock Chuckers, 2 Dillon 55Bs, 2 MEC shotgun presses a Lee Loadall and a Lee hand press. May have another one or two laying around that I forgot.

Just temporarily added a rcbs press to my bench in order to work up a load for a 7.62x39 AR sidecharger. Rather than swapping dies i have my sizer die in the Kodiak press [what i load rifle ammo with] and the seater die in the rcbs. I size a handful of brass, 5-10 pcs, prime them with the rcbs bench primer that I just got, drop a load of ‘LilGun in them and seat boolits on the rcbs. Then I step out to my deck and see how they do. Btw, I really like the rcbs bench priming tool. That thing is nice. When I get the right load and boolit I’ll do 50-100 in a batch.

[Bubba w/a 45/70]

Hornady LnL progressive for pistol/223

Pacific/(Hornady sticker) single for larger rifle duties and size/deprime duties

LEE C press for sizing boolits


would have voted 4, but I wore out a LEE Challenger press....that one went to someone here for "parts" I hope it worked for him/his friend!

[greybuff]

At last count I have 9. Started with an RCBS hr 60 years ago, Got a Rock chucker with a piggyback setup, than a lyman AA turret, than a 1 station and 4 station C&H "H" press, next was a Dunbar and than I discovered Holleywood. I have a steel Senior shorty and a steel Tallboy. Time to unload some of the earlier ones so I can stick with the Hollywoods. I may have a 3position Hollywood in a week or so.

Well I sold the RCBS Jr, the 2 C&H's and the Dunbar. Now I have the 2 cast steel Hollywood Seniors, a Wasp waist Hollywood/Universal Model A, 2- Hollywood Senior Turrets and another Senior on the way. You know the saying " Once you go Hollywood, you never go back", or something like that. The Hollywoods are so well built that they are just a pleasure to use. I'm not a collector, just a reloader!

On the loading bench, its now a Hornaday LnL AP for progressive loading, the RCBS Jr2 for light duty single stage, and a Herters O-Super for heavy duty use. The Lee Load all 2 gets brought down for shotshell loading. The Dillon XL650 sits in the garage and hasn't been touched in years, I should probaly just sell it, and there is a worn out Lee single stage press in a corner under a bench in the garage too.

[SteveM54]

Cool, I'm average, Just like everyone else.

[SquibCity]

Wow, After seeing the results of the poll i feel a little better about myself and my problems with reloading. (Good Problems hah)

[SquibCity]

I Wonder if anyone Here has Any Dunbar Reloading Presses or dies ?
Have been Collecting some pieces, Would Love a H Press From Dunbar.

[libertyman777]

One C press and one O frame press, both from Lee that hardly see any use. And my Forster Co-ax

[Electrod47]

I voted long ago but never fessed up to my exact inventory....7 all produced by Lee. All set-up permanent with some dedicated to certain calibers. For about 30 years now. Wish I could have done this when I was younger. Loaded for 15 years with a single stage, a handheld, and a clutch of Lee Loaders.
Whoops forgot to include my MEC .410 acquired 3 yrs ago.....even more fun...8 total presses for 14 calibers

[Rapier]

Got a couple more, found a MEC 20ga that needed parts plus a Rockchucker display model from a closed shop that has no "extra" parts. But I had the parts that were missing.

Those old adjustable powder/shot bars for a MEC are pretty scarce today, for sale, all my other MECs have them, handy item.

[Brassmonkey]

Almost added another, walked past a Lyman twin ram that I have never seen or heard of. Thought it was neat but price was not.

Should have grabbed a pic but didn’t, can’t find an example on the net either.

[fgd135]

I just added a new RCBS Rebel to my presses, with include to 1980 vintage Rockchucker, an very old RCBS Jr2, a Lee hand press, some 310 tools.
All the RCBS presses are on plates for the Inline Fabrication press stand, and have ILF ergo handles.
I do wish that the ILF ergo handle for the new Rebel would allow me to use the press stand without the handle lowering below the height of the press stand, like with the other two presses, however, so I could keep the press stand back from the edge of the bench.

[Win33]

I used to have 3 presses , 2 pro 1000 for loading 44 mag and 45 colt ,
Sold them now have only 1 challenger press left use it for loading everything now ,
Don’t reload as much as I used to , money situation has changed drastically
