Lyman Comet
I gifted my Dad's Lyman turret to my twin a few years back
More is better. I just grabbed a spare ram prime and dropped it into a cheap lee C press.

Two hollywood presses, A senior and a 12 station Universal. Do hydraulic Presses count for pressing black powder? Dang, I forgot the SL900 For shot shell!

There is a Hollywood on ebay right now... A very seldom seen Hollywood Junior. I had one I found at a yard sale for 5 bucks. Only one I ever saw in hand. I sold the darn thing about 2 weeks later for 150 bucks. I have been selling many of my older presses. I also have an old Pacific C press with the RCBS adapter bar so you can use it for bullet swaging
Rockchucker, Co-Ax, Dillon 650, Herters, Pro-7 in parts, CH in parts,
Never used the CH but I think I have all the parts. I did use the Pro-7 but retired it.
somewhere in the neighborhood of around 10 . but always looking for a good deal.
D-550 set up for small primers

Rock Chucker
Lyman Hand Press (2)
HDS Compac Hand Press (2)
I have a piece of 1/2" thick aluminum plate 8" x 12" at each end of my workbench, and each plate is drilled and tapped to match the footprint of each press / boolit sizer / bench priming tool. The plates are lag screwed into the 2 x 3/4" plywood benchtop. Machine screw fastener sets are color coded to a press or press family and stored in a multi drawer organizer. I have a set of brass chromated short forged steel combination wrenches I bought at Tractor Supply that are also in the organizer and are used only on the fastener sets for press changing.
Plus a couple dozen 310 tool setups, but that's a reply to a different thread.

I have one Forster co-ax, two Dillons, one MEC, and two Hollywood Senior's. I know I need to pare down but hard to give up old friends.

Rockchucker, 2 RCBS JR's, Lyman Spartan, Lyman hand press, Lee APP, 2 Dillon 550's, 4 Dillon SDB's.
I see a good deal on a press at the gunshow, and I buy it.
two LEE bench mounted ones plus whackamole loaders for .12g and .410 and now .270w, oops forgot the shotgun press out in garage...
Rockchucker and an old Herters.
Forster Co-Ax, Lee Classic Cast and Lyman T-Mag II
1. RCBS Rockchucker, bought 1978
2. Lee Load-all 16 gauge
3. Lee Load-all 12 gauge
4. Ponsness Warren P-200 Metalmatic (for all straight walled handgun cartridges)
5. Texan 256 Double C (This was bought recently at a flea market for $30. It is nearly new. I wanted a small C press for decapping, and was thinking of a Lee. But this for $30 was a much better buy than the aluminum Lee for $50. It is quite sturdy and will do duty for small bottleneck cartridges, too. The Rockchucker will be left to jobs more suited to its capabilities: full length sizing of full size rifle cartridges and when Lee large size dies are used.
