I have one, a Uniflow. I have had it for 20 years and never saw a need to add another or replace it. I try to save money by buying only one time and making due with what I have. I actually have saved money by reloading.
1 (You're normal, maybe a little below average)
2 (Good, I call 2 normal)
3 (You're dedicated)
4 (Maybe that's enough)
5 (Okay, no more!)
More than 5 (You need help!)

8 Lyman, 3 Herters, 9 or 10 Dillon. Always in the market for another.
A Lyman, a Uniflow, a Dillon on my 550B, and a Harrels.
Harrels sees the most use, Lyman for small charges. Uniflow hasn't been used in many years. Dillon just gets used on Dillon, duh.
5 for my Dillon's and 2 RCBS.
Ive been using the same Redding powder drop for years now. Bought a new tube for it, just for a spare.

Zero, I use dippers. "Zero" not an option in the poll.
I entered five on the survey, but I forgot a couple.
Three Dillons; these get the most use. I have a small pile of charge bars which I use for specific loads. (I find trying to re-set a charge bar for exactly 7.2 grains of 'Something' powder a pain in the yarmush.)
One Frankfort Arsenal measure which I use - occasionally - for precision rifle loading. In fact, the Dillon measures do an excellent job of measuring out uniform doses in most cases. It has a 'micrometer' dial which is frustratingly misleading trying to find 'that exact setting' that worked so well three months ago.
One rather old Pacific Pistol measure. Back in the pre-Dillon days, the bushings provided an excellent system for repeating charges later in the month or year. However, the Dillon system works a bit better over all and so I haven't used this old dear for many winters.
A Lee 'Perfect' measure. It sounded so great; sort of like the Pacific Pistol measure, but for rifles as well. Of all the Lee reloading products - and I use many - this is the only one that really disappointed me. At first it leaked ball powder, then it leaked everything and it jammed all the time. I don't use it at all.
There's also a loading charge bar on the shotgun loader. It is integral with the loading machine so I don't think of it as a measure; it is, of course, but not in the conventional sense of being used for other applications.
Go peacefully; teach the ignorant, comfort the distressed. Always be kind. Wear clean underwear and carry a gun.
I recently just purchased the small pistol RCBS Uniflow to measure small charges of Bullseye. My larger rifle measurers would not go that low.
RCBS Uniflow for small pistol and small rifle
RCBS Uniflow for large pistol and rifle
Redding Benchrest measurer for lrage pistol and rifle
The two RCBS Uniflows are all i need. The Reddings are a little better quality that you pay extra for
I have accumulated several obsolete pistol powder measures; so I just choose a measure instead of switch a rotor. Also have the usual Lee dippers and Perfect powder measure that lots of others have or had. My new favorite is an original Redding dial measure that gobbles up big stick powders and hates little ball powders.
