    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

    I just have a Lee Breech Lock press. I'd like to get an RCBS rock chucker eventually.
    I've loaded around 4,000 rounds of 9mm on my Lee press.

    I do have a Lyman 450 lubrisizer too.
    Have to update, I've picked up a Herters Super Modle 3, shell holders bring more $$$ than I gave for the press!?
    I've also picked up an RCBS "JR2", it came with a Uniflow powder measure on it.

    Also picked up Lyman "55" powder measure that I'm going to mount on the All American and a Redding #3 measure that has a stand for it and I've converted the 16ga MEC to .410

    At present the rotation consists of:

    RCBS Pro 2000
    RCBS Rock Chucker IV
    Redding Ultramag
    RCBS Summit

    Listed in the order of most frequent use. The Summit press is growing on me.

    I made a quick count tonight. After owning this house for a year, living in it for 5 months total I have all the reloading tools unpacked. But, they are far from organized. There's a lot more work to do.
    I counted 281 actual presses, including the Pak Tools and Newton. Then there are two more that aren't here yet. that does not include the Lee and Herter's hand tools, Modern Bond A B and C tools and all the Ideal/Lyman tong tools. There is way over 100 of them.
    I added in a friends entire tong tool collection last month, plus another friend passed away and left all his reloading tools to me. I am bringing them in now.
    So, the collection continues to grow, currently it takes up 160 linear feet of shelf space. And that is just the presses.
    Happy collecting,
    Ken

    I’m down to a Dillon 550 and a Forster coax press. It’s part of my simplifying things.

    I have two Lee classic turrets. One set up with the reverse index rod and auto eject setup from I line and the other I took the rod out and do all my sizing, decapping, and priming stuff like it's a single stage that I don't have to change dies with

    Do you still use your Pro-jector? I think the link system is better on the old Pro-jector than the LnL and once I got the priming system modified and adjusted it works 100%. My LnL works good now but was a giant pain to get it running well. It must have been a late Friday build. I got the LnL by trading in another Pro-jector to Hornady along with $200 bucks. Almost wish I'd kept the Pro-jector.

    Oh man, I would LOVE to see a photo of that 160 linear feet of shelf space! You, Sir, have a museum.

    And I thought with 4 I was overboard, 2 lee pro 1000’s one for large primers and one for small, a lee classic press, and my classic Dillon 550 which I am guessing is as old or older than I am. Since getting the 550 the pro 1000’s haven’t been used.

    WELL, i have two Dillon 550b's; three Lyman All-American; two Redding Boss; three RCBS rock chuckers; two Lyman single stage; and, one Pacific single stage. Also, the recently purchased Buchanan hand-held. This sums to fourteen presses. (Time to get another? )

    I have a Lee Reloader single stage press (1990's version), and my trusty, much loved Lee Classic Cast Turret press, It has never failed me, and I am sure it will last me for a long time.

    I see the question states not including lee loaders, well just a couple plus a shotshell press. But if I have a lee loader for the case I am loading that is what I use. What a great little tool. I don't use a hammer, the carriage on the shotshell press works great. The wad compression stem is exactly the dia. of a 45/70 case head. The carriage on the press. works fine to press in primer & seat bullets.with my lee loader I have loaded the same 45/70 cases 40 times & still going strong.
