What's Your Favorite Reloading Press To Use?

[Le Loup Solitaire]

I prefer my C&H 3 station. It has served me for a very long time and is as tight as he day I bought it. LLS

Dillon 550 and rcbs ammo master

My favorite reloading press to use is the one that has the dies already set up ahead of time for the caliber that I want to load. I love it when I don't have to fiddle around with the press and set everything up again.

If I was rich with more money than brains, I would set up an individual reloading press for each of my favorite calibers, ready to go just waiting for me to pull the handle.

The dies would be already adjusted the way I like with the rings locked down. Large or small primer seating set up ahead of time, and all the tweaking and adjusting done in advance.

I'd have a huge loading room and a really long reloading bench, and a dedicated press ready to go for every caliber I'd ever want to load.

Since I'm not rich, its often just a bunch of spare turret heads, and a Lyman T-mag or Dillon press. Depending on the volume required, and the day you asked me.

I don't have a hoard of presses yet, working on it! I REALLY want a Hollywood!

With what I have now, easy, the Dillon XL650, Makes lots of good ammo in a hurry and is a pleasure to use!

I am eagerly waiting for my new Buchanan hand press!

Another that I have the hots for and would like to have, a Prazipress! Probably the number 1 top-end of precision single stage presses. Like on the order of $1000-$2000 to get one if I recall, dependent on model.

I've been using a Lyman All American Turret Press that I bought used in 1973 for 50 bucks. Still works like a charm.

[Ole Joe Clarke]

A Pacific single stage that I bought when I was a young guy, we have grown old together. It works better than I do.
A Pacific 266, 12 and 20 gauge dies, in better shape than I am.
A new Lee Classic Turret for pistols, it's still on probation, so far I like it.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Decapping: RCBS RS 5

[Ken in Iowa]

No question, my Redding Boss (the original one)

I bought it new 30 some years ago, clean and oil the ram, oil the pins every season and go.

My Lee Automator is the most fun for me because it's unique and strange to operate!



It's now mounted on a 2001 Challenger as it would have been back in the day. Using it on the Lee Reloader was somewhat questionable at best?

And of course the 2001 Challenger press pops primers everywhere!

[midnight]

Rockchucker II for rifles
Lee turret for pistols & revolvers
Big Hornady for 50BMG
Lee classic cast to prime 50BMG
Ponsness Warren 375 for shotshells
Walnut Hill for bullet swaging

So he's the one that won that auction.

Was going to bid on that, got sidetracked and didn't remember about the auction until about 10:30 PM.

RCBS turret

Forster Co Ax since I just got it. I'm waiting on the LS jaws so I can use it for 45-70. The Lee Classic turret gets the most use for revolver stuff and the Hornady LNL AP for blasting ammo in my semi auto pistols.
