Reloading Presses...How many ya got??

[odis]

I have 3, my very first an RCBS rock chucker, a Dillon SD and the latest a Redding Big Boss II. Since I retired I do most of my reloading on the two single stage presses.

[WILDEBILL308]

I just finished reading the whole thread and it made me smile.
I just bought a guys complete HuntePistol Sioleowet set up including all his reloading equipment. So I have another Rock chucker I think that makes 3 now.
Let me just do a short list, I haven’t thought about how many of what so This will be a good exercise in checking inventory.
I do have what is supposedly the first 550B sold as I called Dillon to by a 550 and the salesman asked if I could delay for a couple of days as they were releasing the 550B for sale and he would sell it to me at the same price as the 550. I have no provenance to back it up but it sounds good. Lets see what I can find.
1 550B
3 SDBs
3 RCBS Rock Chucker single station presses
1 RCBS Junior
1 RCBS Partner
1 old Lyman turret that I don’t know the model of but it uses the dies from the tong tool.
1 old Herter’s single station.
I had 4 Texans for shotgun but gave them to a friend who did a favor for me.
I was just thinking I have enough Rock Chucker’s I could mount them and use them like an inline turret.

Just 9 but thats shotgun and metalic

[LeftyDon]

Got three so far.

[singleshot]

I guess I gotta update this. Now that I've torn a press clean in half, I'm down to 2...temporarily. Need a new sizer/swaging press.

[singleshot]

I should add, I like having 3, 2 on my bench and 1 portable.

[LUBEDUDE]

Just 9 but thats shotgun and metalic

Just shotgun and metallic? What else do you load- mortars and rocket launchers ???

[warf73]

The JUST was referring the 9 presses lol

Thanks Illinois Coyote Hunter for this timely intervention. I was being consumed with feelings of guilt and remorse for lusting after a Dillon 650 when my old 550 b continues to serve me faithfully after twenty years. Since seeing the hardship and devotion you fellows have exhibited in caring for such large families
(Pressman you get the gold star) with only three dependants I was finally able to engage ln appropriate therapy. A new 650 came home with me yesterday. Now to save some coin for the casefeeder.
Wishing you all a happy and prosperous New Year.

Congrats on your Dillon 650 and your other dependants! LOL! Never run a 650 but only heard good things about them!

Gotta bump mine up to 27. Bought an RCBS 2A the other day.

BTW, if ANYONE has an A3 or A4 Big Max that you want to sell, please let me know. I need these so I can sleep at night (and finish my collection...for the time being) LOL! Thanks!

2 - Lee Pro1000 press for pistol calibers. 1 press for large primers (10mm, 44Mag, 45acp) and 1 press for small primers (380, 9mm, 357Sig, 38/357, 40S&W)
1 - Lee Turret 3-hole press for rifle calibers. (223/5.56, 250 Savage, 6.5mm Swedish, 300 Blackout, 30/30, 30-06, 7.62x39)
1 - Lee Reloader for ram prime and decapping.
1 - Lee Load-All II for 12ga

The metallic presses are all mounted on Lee Bench Plate wood blocks which I've modified/drilled to use an extra bolt that engages a T-nut under the steel plate attached to the bench. It makes for a very solid setup and the presses do not walk out of the bench plate.

21 so far.

A few of my favorites:

Dunbar
CH Single ram H-press
RCBS A2
1 each Lyman Orange Crusher and Crusher II both new in the box.
Pacific 007
Lyman Tru Line

[enfieldphile]

Lee Reloader Press, Lee Classic Cast, Lee classic cast 4-hole turret, Redding Ultramag700

[fredj338]

I have three active & 3 for teaching, so I voted 3: RCBS Ammo Master, 550B & 650. I also have the little Lee Load-all for 12ga but don't load much 12ga.

[Themayor]

3, 2 dillon 650's and a lee single stage.

[kostner]

Have two Dillon SDB's 38, 9mm & 45ACP Then the Lee Classic Turret for rifle & small runs of 380s. Mec Jr. for 12 ga. slugs and shot. Lately the turret has been used for 223 depriving & priming. Still use a Hornady powder dispenser to charge all rifle cases. Never could get that chessey Lee double disk set up to work. I enjoy the reloading almost as much as shooting. Casting is a fun too.
