I got a crazy idea to go out in a boat with all my reloading stuff and guns right after the Mara-Largo raid and suffered a boating accident.
Even my pellet gun was on board.
A real shame, I guess I will just borrow gun and ammo from now in or take up knitting?

Only two, both Lee's.
A single stage, and
A 4-hole turret.

One Lyman Spartan single stage exclusively for de-priming
One RCBS Rockchucker single stage mostly for rifle
One Lyman six hole turret mostly for handgun, which means 357 Magnum, the one cartridge to rule them all
Down one. Young lady friend of mine found her husband running around with a schoolteacher and got divorced. He took everything and she wanted to get back into reloading for her 243. Fronted her a press, dies, pound of powder, hundred primers and some jwords I had extra.

I looked at the choices and thought scheesh, who'd own 10 or more presses. Then I thought well I have one borrowed out indefinitely, 3 shot gun, 1 progressive and 1 single stage.
Oh great, another thread that makes me spend money.
There it is again, the recurring question, "How many presses do you have?"
I have more than I need but I never answer because for the life of me I can't see how anyone else's reloading knowledge or skill would be increased by knowing that. ???
Three: RCBS Rock Chucker, Dillon 550B, and Lee Breech Lock single stage.
1 rcbs jr. + 1 12ga Lee load all - gave up on using the Lee reloader + Lee challenger due to poor quality + lack of customer service -

ILLEGITIMI NON CARBORUNDUM
as they say in latin
RCBS A2, Lee APP, Lee Reloader (before it was called Breech Lock) and Classic Cast 4 hole Turret.
I'm considering adding the new Six Pack Pro.
Lee Breech Lock for decaping

What I lack in presses I make up for with powder measures.
I have a new Hornady lock n load, a Lee turret press, a RCBS rock chucker, and a Lee hand press. Have used em all but the Lee hand press. I actually use the Lee turret press to double check
that my cases after sitting for a while are still sized properly. Am too old to make stupid mistakes, and not double checking is a stupid mistake.
I just added a Lee classic 4 hole and small Lee C press to my 2 rcbs presses and a Dillon 550. I got to say I like the Lee 4 hole. I’ve setup some dies on turrets that I run small batches and I’m happy not to setup the dies again
I have 2 Lee presses plus my 450 lubrisizer ( it’s kinda like a press. I was also gifted an old acme shot shell reloader from wife’s grandfather’s estate included was everything for 20 and 12 gage
Originally when I started out I bought a cheap Lee aluminum C press. I had wanted an O type press for some time before I took my reloading and shooting hiatus. I made some good ammo on that C press
When I got back into reloading this past fall I the first thing I did was buy a Lee challenger press. Having 2 presses is handy and a lot faster when reloading 9mm ammo.
I also use both presses for rifle. I’ll set the C press up to de-prime then use the challenger to size. Next step, I set the c press to flare and then use the challenger to seat. I’ll crimp on either press depending on my mood. The longer handle on the challenger makes sizing easier.
I’d like a turret press next. I don’t know if I’d ever shoot enough pistol to warrant a full progressive press.

Lyman TMag turret press - picked it up for free after selling off the other stuff in the lot. Not pout in the rotation yet
Hornady LnL - great for pistol
Lee APP - for swaging
