    I don't want to count them, it will be admitting the problem. At least a half dozen 55's, at least three B&M's, various vintage, "some" Lee's, and a ChargeMaster. Good intentions of handing them down got a little out of control,,,,,

    I'm not really sure. More than a few, bordering on several. They're just so neat. Duo-measure, large and small drum Uniflows with mic screws, standard Uniflows (that's where it gets fuzzy), two Powder Masters, large and small bar Dillons. I just couldn't help myself.

    Take care, Paul... that's how I started out and they're pushing me out of my shop now. Here's an idea, you could just send them to me and I'll take care of them for you... that's it, I'll take care of them for you!

    Too many to count right now. According to the USPS tracking I will be getting the very last powder measure Herter's offered in 1981, right as they closed the doors. Tomorrow. Another great Christmas present.

    That was anticlimactic. I really wanted to know how many "pressman" had.
    Maybe someday the world will know.

    I voted a while back and I'm sure that I voted more than 5. Just took a quick look and could see 6 Dillons and 3 Reddings. I know that several more exist and then there are the shotgun presses. I really don't see this as too many, in fact, I should get a couple more for convenience. Pretty sure that one of the Reddings is set for 20VT and one for 6BR. I need another loading bench so that I can set up more presses, but I don't have any more room.

    Seriously, 5 is not too many.

    I forgot about the Dillons.

    Three RCBS Uniflow (two large and a small)
    Two RCBS Little Dandy. Full set of cylinders plus spares for "custom" sizes.
    Three Dillons

    Definitely more than what I need. I've got two Lyman 55's, a Bell & Mull, a Lee Pro Disk. and Lee Auto Perfect. I only really use a couple of them, probably need to thin out the heard at some point.

    Hmmm? Uniflow, LNL, Lyman 55, Dillon, Lee AutoDrum, Lee AutoDisk, Lee PPM, and Lee scoops. Seven, unless you count the scoops.

    Well given your parameters I have three a Lyman 55 black powder a Lee prefect and a set of Lee scoops.
    Now I also have a few black powder sliding stick type measurers, but don't know how those fit your question

    Update on my inventory; I added a half dozen of the little Pacific and Bair Pistol Measures with a couple of dozen of the brass rotors as well as backup examples of the Little Dandy and AccuMeasure as well as a spare Belding and Mull. I still maintain the setup of this poll was for beginners… if you are in the “4 or 5”categories, you’re just dabbling!
