    - Four Dillons (three current models plus the obsolete circa 1984 original measure without the auto-drop);
    - One RCBS powder measure, still in occasional operation, with two diameters of powder measures (my original powder measure);
    - Two brass black powder horns of various styles for cap and ball...

    ...and, HA!, a set of Lee powder scoops! Didn't see that coming, did ya!

    Just the one that came with my SDB, but I only load one pistol caliber with one load without changeovers for VERY long stretches at a time.

    If I ever get into rifle cartridge reloading, I’ll need another press, and likely would get a dedicated measure for it. I doubt I’ll ever be into reloading a lot of different calibers/cartridges to the point where I’ll have multiple complete toolheads set up for each load, complete with dedicated powder measures.

    Five, one on each of my three Dillon presses, one on my spare .38 super 550 tool head, one old Lyman with the little hammer shaker. I do not like adjusting the powder throw or the case mouth bell. I'd likely have more measures if I loaded more calibers regularly.
    Regards,

    Lyman 55, Lee and somehow 5 sets of Lee Dippers. Doesn't count the automatic Hornady which I use more than the others. I think I'll get rid of a couple of the dipper sets and the Lee keeping the Lyman in case the Hornady doesn't work or keep the Lee and ditch the Lyman. Got the Lee in a trade with other stuff and never used it. Not a giant fan of the Lyman either but it works.

    3 Dillons (need at least 1 more, probably should get 3 just to be safe).
    1 uniflow with the quick change rotor.
    Set of Lee dippers.
    5 as on today.

    So I should be able to do everything regarding measuring powder by volume but…
    I don’t have an automated charge dispenser. Thinking I will buy the autotrickler V4.

    It is only money…right?

    Just the one RCBS Uniflow I got with my first reloading press some forty years back & still using both.
    And I reload pistol competition so that's a lot of reloads.
