    I am getting old. I have not yet downsized the number of presses I own, but the number used.
    a) I have a pair of RCBS partner presses that mounts on a rolling table that rolls up next to my desk or mounts in my camper.
    b) I have a pair of co-ax presses in the reloading room.

    When I hunt 900 miles from here, I stay with different hunters that rooms full of mounted presses I am allowed to use, but too often they have a die screwed into a press that I would not want to disturb their adjustment. So while I don't sleep in my camper, I do reload in it.

    Too many.
    More "This is what happened when I,,,,," and less "What would happen if I,,,,"

    Apparently one more than I thought I had. I just found a 6 hole Tru-Line Jr. that I forgot I bought...

    I picked up two more in the last week. A Lee Reloader and an older Lyman Spartan. Don’t really need them, but they made me offers I couldn’t refuse.

    Gewehr-Guy yes it is and that is one of the reasons i bid on it. i will let you know if it is like new or just re-firbished. i also won the bid for the Herters .38 swedge die with the vertical grooves can't wait to play with that.

    I must be running low... I have 3. RCBS Partner that sees priming duty with Auto Prime II, RCBS RC2 that is my main press and RCBS 4 that is set up for push through sizing. I am considering another Partner for when the kids help with de-primeing. I hate to strip the first one down and loose the adjustment on the Auto Prime. I think the Partner might be just about right for seating and crimping small calibers like 32acp, 22 Hornet and such as well. But, that would mean that the time advantage of the case kicker would be lost.

    I have 2 Presses, 3 if you count my Mec Jr
    A Dillon 550, the Crank has been rebuilt 3 times, last by Dillon.
    I have a Lee Single Stage, as I Shoot Service Rifles, really hard sizing them.
    I do all my sizing now on the Lee, and load on the Dillon, just too much for the Dillon, which I really Like.

    I've been radically downsizing since I came home 6 weeks ago. On my benches downstairs I have 2 550's, a co-ax, a bair 3 station press, a Hornady classic, 2 Lee cast turret presses, and a lee hand press. A Lyman and Rcbs sizer are stationed across the room.

    I still have a handful of presses in storage, but I've been gifting them out to new reloaders. I think I will eventually get another 650 (sold both the ones I've had) and ditch the Lee turrets. If I could pick up a cheap/used Star sizer I would happily ditch the Lyman 450.

    Four here, but there is always the need and the space for another!

    1 Rock Chucker
    1 Dillon 550B

    Both are over 20 years old. Have not found a need for another press.
    I also have Wilson hand dies for 222 and 22-250 used with a small Sinclair arbor press.
