    I have 3 measures right now. 1 Lee, 1 Hornady LNL, and 1 older Lyman #55 2E. I use all 3, but the Hornady is probably my favorite.

    Off the top of my head, I think I have:

    2 Lyman #55's
    2 B&M
    1 Ideal #5
    1 Ohaus Duomeasure
    1 RCBS Uniflow II
    5 (?) Dillon

    And some various other measures that are slipping my mind right now. I treat powder measures the same as reloading presses and bullet sizers when at gun shows; I hate to see them be ignored, so when they're cheap, I 'adopt' them.

    It seems as though I am going to have to change my vote from 3 to 5. I just scored a couple vintage Reddings.

    I have a couple of RCBS uniflo's, one set up with a baffle and the micrometer adjusting stem that I use on my ammomaster press.One is a spare because I bought a N.O.S. ammomaster conversion kit for spare parts.I also have one RCBS little dandy pistol measure,one Redding 3BR and one Belding and Mull.I also have three for my Dillon 550b press.One is dedicated for .40 S&W ,one .45 , and one floater that I use for the rest of my 550 loadings.I find myself using my RCBS Chargemaster most of all though.
    I guess that would be eight.I have downsized a bit though.I "loaned" a couple other uniflo's to help get friends started reloading.

    Hello,
    I'm surprised that the Belding & Mull charger is not mentioned very much.
    Over time, about 40 years, I settled on three chargers:
    RCBS Rifle powder RCBS Pistol powder and Belding & Mull for IMR powders.

    I've got two B&M measures now... one is part of my kit for benchrest shooting in the schuetzen game, and the other stays on my loading bench. This is one of several kinds I have found that "one is not enough!"

    I maintain through all of this that no one measure does it all best of all, and for every type of reloading I do, I like to match the measure to the duties it is being called on to perform.

    "More than 5 (You need help!)"? I don't think so!

    I realize that now Especially since I am now in that category, and I've only been loading a year and a half.

    Just two but I haven't bought my Dillon yet. Just a Lee and a RCBS powder measure. I like the RCBS more.

    I have seen several poles on various subjects posted here. They have have asked when I started casting, how much lead I have stored, etc. I fail to understand why any member of this site would want or need this information. The poles have nothing to do with what this site is about. This site is about casting, loading, shooting, and the many methods/practices, and members helping others to achieve the best results possible. I don't see any need for these poles, and will not respond to any of them. Off the soap box now.

    I just like old stuff so I figured I'd be way up there. But others seem to have the same affliction

    2 hollywood
    5 lyman 55's
    1 b&m
    2 ideal #5s
    5 lee autodisc
    2 dillon
    2 texan shotgun
    4 MEC shotgun
    3 lee shotgun
    and I don't know if this counts but
    1 chargemaster

    Heck while I was counting I found 4 scales I had forgotten and 5 case trimmers.Not counting the ones I use on the bench. I'm sure they were a really good deal at a garage sale or whatever when I bought them

    My wife says I buy this stuff so my kids can have a good auction when I'm dead !

    I just moved some books from a shelf.

    Space is now available for POWDER MEASURE SET-UP EXPANSION.

    All that's required now is a NEED or WANT to.

    Just because will work too, as that eliminates any possible...........

    Future SOLD OUT or BACKORDERED issues.

    One (or 10) in the hand is worth TWO IN THE BUSH!

    I voted 2 but forgot about the 3 more on 550B quick change sets, so I guess I'm at 5.

    At one point I had 8; 7 RCBS Uniflows and 1 Dillon 550B. I have since joined a 12 step program and now I am down to 2 RCBS and 1 Dillon. The first step is admitting you have more than necessary.
