    Hornady LnL progressive, RCBS single stage,and Pacific C press.
    Each has a job to do,but always room for more.

    Not counting Shotgun Presses 4- Hornady LNL AP, Lee Pro 1000, Lee Classic Cast, Lee SS press I used to Size with. Now if you count Shotgun Presses 13 all toll!! Have 4 MEC 9000 in various gauges 2 MEC JR's in 12GA and a Grabber in 12GA.
    45 ACP because shooting more than once is just silly!!

    Hmmm... how many presses.
    To begin with, I got along quite nicely for decades with one Herters Super Model 3 press, a christmas gift from my wife of two years back in 1976.
    Several years ago I built a man cave with a dedicated reloading/gun room. I have room for everything I need, most of what I want.

    Rifle presses:
    3 Herters Super 3's
    2 Bonanxa Co-ax
    1 Dillon 550

    Handgun Presses:
    7 Lyman Tru-Line Jrs with 7/8" turrets, each set up for a particular caliber, used single stage
    1 Dillon 650 for bulk runs

    Swaging Press
    1 Lyman Tru Line used for notching and rounding
    1 Corbin "S" Press

    Shotgun Presses
    3 Mec 600/650's, for testing, slugs, buckshot
    3 Hornady progressives, for running hunting loads.

    Do I NEED them all? What're you crazy? Of course not.
    I just like having them, having them set up to do what they do.
    I also have a son ready to set up housekeeping after a successful college "career". I'll be "sacrificing" enough from my cave to get him started with one Herter's Super Model three and everything else he'll need.
    Hopefully, when I'm done and gone, he'll enjoy the rest as well.

    I've now got four! A chap I met recently mentioned that he had a "slightly used" shotgun press that he wanted to get rid of (it was given to him by the wife of a friend who had died, she just said to get rid of it). Turns out it's an MEC 600 Jnr, in 12 ga, pretty old, some rust in places, but for $30 (about US$25) I said I'd take it. I cleaned up most of the rust and it looks like it should still work fine.

    Only problem is that I don't shoot shotgun (don't even own one).

    Is something wrong with me......

    Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do.

    One less than last week, sold my Pro1000, never gave me any trouble and loaded tens of thousand of rounds but since I got a LNL-AP it has sat idle.
    When I realised I hadn't used it for over 2 years thought I might as well move it on and put the funds towards a few extras for the LNL-AP.

    Just one for now, it's an RCBS RS3 single stage. Takes care of my reloading needs.

    I'm up to 3, Lee Hand press with the breech lock, an older Lee cast C type which is mounted upside down for sizing and a Cast aluminum with the fancy linkage on the handle. Has the advantage of a longer handle and a closed frame. Mostly my Lee Universal expander die lives in there, but it does get swapped out for decapping/sizing some larger rifle cases like the 7.62x54r.

    The voting was done before I commented, but I have four: One Dillon RL 550b, one RCBS Rockchucker, and two MEC 600 juniors (one 12 gauge, on 20 gauge).

    Clicking that number made me ask myself if I really know what I am doing. Six seems like overkill.
