Just one Lee perfect powder measure and one auto disk. Only thing more I could want would be a Dillon, and gotta upgrade jobs before that happens.
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!)

Voted 2 but have in my 5 in my room. Only use the 2, a Uniflow, and an old Bair 316. Both have micrometers and work great.
One measure per tool head, plus a couple of different powder measures just 'cause and a ChargeMaster for load work-up.
Two RCBS uniflows
Two Reddings
A Lyman 55
Two Belding and Mulls
And a Hornady makes eight. Chuck
2 Uniflows
Glad to see I'm not alone in the 5 or more. Each has it's place.
I now have 2, a small Uniflow and a large Uniflow.
Well another Pacific Pistol Measure™ showed up at my house this weekend. That makes 4 so far, but each with only a single rotor. I'm beginning to need an intervention... either that or I need to get into the shop and start making a bunch of new rotors. I do indeed need a few specific rotors and then I could just swap out the rotors instead of whole measures.
For those still keeping score, the 4 Pacifics join two each Little Dandy™ and Accu-Measure™ units, each type with one complete set of their respective rotors, then 3 (or is it 4?) #5, 3 #5 micrometer, and a #6 Ideal, several #55 including one with a Culver-type conversion, a couple of Dillons and a Star on their respective progressives and at least a few more flask type and sets of dippers. As long as I'm under about 50, I don't have a problem, right?

And how long has it been since you were under 50, Froggie?? I seem to have quit accumulating measures since I got the Pacific Pistol measure that uses the slide and I can make inserts. For rifles my B&M sufficies nicely. I'm not in a hurry in my reloading. Oh, I use my Bair (like your Pacific, Froggie) for my 38/357 because the roters I have are all set for those amounts of powder drop.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
I'm thinking the Pacific with a 2.0 gr rotor would go well with my little 32 S&W Longs... loaded on a Tru-Line Jr, of course! It seems like each additional measure is bought as I utter the phrase, "This one will be just right for my ..." (You fill in the rest!)
Froggie
PS I've been seeing 50 years of age from the high side for a LOOOONG time! The "under about 50" was my powder measure count!
"It aint easy being green!"
3 Uniflows------One on a stand, One dedicated on the 9mm tool head, and One the goes on the Progressive when not doing 9mm
I'm thinking I need more though!!!

I have 3 Belding & Mull measures and they will accurately measure IMR 4831. The trick is to make sure the drop tube is inserted tightly prior to moving the handle. Before returning the handle give the drop tube a 1/2 twist,then return the handle. If you practice it will throw charges consistently.
For the record I have 3 B&M measures with 5 drop tubes of various sizes,1 Uniflow, and 1 Dillon.
