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.

JR2 (got in trade) - use for sizing rifle at the moment
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
