Two here, I have a cheap lee cast C frame and the lee hand press which I have to say I really enjoy.
Two RCBS rock chuckers and a rcbs reloader special

Two Lyman 55 years old SPAR-T And Two Lyman TMAG-ll. I am thing of adding one more.
4...all red. I wana blue one so someday it will be 5. Now the question is 650, or 1050?
Three more after counting them than I would guessed. I have 8 with some being red and some being green.
Correction. Make that 9. I just remembered another one that is black.

I've got 3, but only one that gets used extensively. My basic press is a Lee Classic Cast, that I use for general reloading. I bought that after having a Lyman Crusher that I was less than satisfied with. The single-stage Classic Cast IMO is every bit as good as the Rockchuckers that my friends use. I also have one of those cheaper aluminum Lee presses mounted on my bench that I use for incidental things involving one or two cartridges or bullet pulling. I've got a third, a Lee hand press, that doesn't get used much but is there if I need it. I could live with just the Classic Cast if I had to.
I too used to have an Orange Crusher. i bought it new in 1985. The die station was not quite in alignment w/ the ram. I sent it back to Lyman 15 years later. They switched the parts to the newer, powder-coated "Crusher" frame. It was better, but not quite straight. I sold the press.
While my main single-stage press is a Redding Ultramag, I too have a Classic Cast. The Classic Cast is dead-nuts straight and I too could have it as the only single stage if that were required. The hollow-ram primer drain is a HUGE advantage, IMHO. My handgun ammow is loaded on the classic cast Lee 4-hole turret, also w/ hollow ram I use one of the Lee C presses as a GC Seater.
Only 2, a Lee turret and a Lee single stage.
I have only 3.
1 RCBS Rockchucker
1 Lee progressive
1 Lee hand press
A Redding T7 ,A Dillon 550, Two Rock Chuckers, a small LEE, Two Mecs,a Lee Loaf All, And a Saeco lube sizer. GP
That's a LEE Load all, but its funnier as the mistake. GP
I have 3, all red. 1 Lee Classic Cast single stage, 1 Lee Classic Turret, and I just picked up a Hornady Pro-Jector.
I'm really considering trading up to a L-N-L through the
Hornady trade in program. The idea of adding a case feeder in the future and lack of parts availabilty for the Pro-Jector are weighing heavily on my mind.
I've got 9 and use 2. The rest are collected and refurbished Pacific Multi-Power's, Herter's 3A with all accessories, and a few others. I actually use a Redding T-7 with multiple turrets for most of the handgun loading and a refurbished 1975 version RC press.
FYI, if anyone refurbishes presses a great finish is Brownell's Aluma-hide, allowed to air dry for a day or so then bake in the oven at about 210 for a day or so. It's an almost indestructible finish.

One! Top of the line in 1972 RCBS Rock crusher! I did not know you need more than one!
Two Dillon RL 550's, one Rockchucker that I bought back in 73, one Lee that I use for processing brass and one old Mec 700 Versamec that I just brought back out of 20+ yrs of retirement.

I voted 3, but only have 2 at my house. I have a Lee single stage, a Lee hand press, and a Dillon 550B on order! Very exited to try the Dillon =)
I have one CH 444x Pistol Champ at least 30yr if hard work. I finally upgraded to a Hornady AP. And I have 3 MEC shotgun presses as well.
Edited because I forgot the RCBS Green Machine.
