That RL 300 is an interesting press. If what I read is accurate they only made about 600 of them and they sold new for about 400.00 and the other press from Dillon at that time was 2700.00
That is a neat find.

I have 3 bench mounted presses ! lee hand press and 11 Lyman 310 tools.

Hi...
I just checked and I replied to this thread back in 2014.
Things have changed a bit since then...
First, I am now retired so more free time(in theory).
Secondly... I have changed a lot in the reloading room in the last five years.
Still have my RockChucker for small batches and load development. Added a RockChucker Supreme for my son to use for his rifle load development.
Added two Hornady LnLs one each in small and large primer reloading.
Recently acquired at auction a Dillon 550 that I need to get a bench to mount it on. It will probably either be used as a dedicated 9mm press for my son or as a dedicated large primer press for high volume revolver reloading.
We haven't quite figured that out yet.
Next press will be either a Lyman or Redding turret press. My son wants to learn how to use a turret press, so the Dillon and turret will be on the new bench when I build or buy it.
Still have a Lee single stage presses and a Lee 1000 progressive in the bottom of a cabinet where they can cause no mischief.
Also have one more RockChucker that I bought at auction for about $20 or $30...probably sell it locally since it's pretty heavy to ship and I don't really need it.

One less - I just loaned my Buchannan to a friend who wants to start loading and just moved to an apartment.

1- Dillon 1050, with tool heads set up for 9 MM, 45 ACP, 223, and 308.

1- More Dillon 1050, with Mark 7 pro auto drive for case processing. Tool heads set up for, 223, 308 and 300 blackout.

Lastly, an old Pacific C press set up with a Hornady bullet puller.

And an old C-H H press. Will probably clean this up and just sell it though.

1 RockChuker Supreme
1 Hornady LnL Classic
1 Hornady LnL AP

After reading some of the above, I feel I’m suffering from ”press envy”

[rbuck351]

I voted quite a while back but I have picked a few more since and now have 20. I just can't resist an old press at a bargin price.

Reading through this makes me feel a little better. I just mentioned to someone that old reloading presses had become like stray kittens around here, another one seems to turn uo whenever I turn around, latest is a Herters Model 3.

I had 31 in 2013.... down to 15or 16. Still trying to unload a few and downsize. Not reloading as much lately. One 21 month old little girl and one in the oven. Way more fun than reloading!!! Lol!

[GasGuzzler]

Does a LAM-II and an APP count? They are types of presses used in reloading...kinda.
