- RCBS JR3: decaps everything out in the garage. Inherited from my father in law, modified the handle and it's a cool little press.
- RCBS RC2: pistol loading and bullet sizing.
- RCBS Rebel: rifle loading
- Mec 600: 12ga
- RCBS Supreme: was my rifle loading press, boxed up for the kiddo if she gets into reloading.
Presses I've let go:
- Lee Challenger
- Pacific Standard
- Pacific Super Deluxe
- Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro
- Lee Load-All

In order of purchase:
Lee Turret, Hornady LnL progressive, Forster Co-Ax, Dillon Super 1050 w/ Ammobot
I have 3. The correct number is, as always, just one more!
I have 3 now after giving a Lyman Spar T to a friend
1 Rockchucker, 1 Redding Big Boss2, 1 Dillon 550
2 Dillon SDB's
Forster Co-Ax
RCBS RockChucker
RCBS Turret (4 turrets)
2 Lee Handpresses

1 Lee 3 turret
1 Lee classic
1 MEC 250
1 HERTERS 403 SUPER
1 MEC 600JR

1MEC 650 N
Got rid of both my Lee pro 1000s and a Lee turret.
Currently 3, T7, Rc, and a 550. Sold everything I wasn't using and still have not set up the 550.
I have 2, 1971 RCBS I started with, @ 21 yo, Dillon 650 when I turned 65, now 71. Still enjoy both for doing the job,very satisfying hobby. I like it cause you can put it down for a while and come back weeks or months or even years later and pick up clean up and be right back at it in just a few hours.
Put it up for a few years, stored in shop, not climate controlled, lots of rust, but all cleaned up pretty well. Glad I didn’t sell anything as prices have gone thru the roof. Really been a good investment.
I have an old rock chucker, MEC matchmaster
And a lee APP
Now thinking of a progressive soon

Collecting presses might turn into an addiction!
Less then before. If you have a few to get rid of try E Bay right now I have an old beat up lee challenger press up for auction right now top bid is $81 with $16 shipping still have 5 more days on auction. Sold a lee hand primer the other day for $37+shipping.
2 Dillon 550s (SP & LP), a Lee Breech Lock Challenger, a Lee Turret, a Lee Reloader Press, a Hand press & 2 whack-a-moles (38/357 & 30-30)
...Speak softly & carry a big stick...
Lee Challenger, Lee Turret, Lee C, Lee hand press, Echo. Sold the other ones. The Challenger is the one I use the most. Whack A Moles for most calibers I load. I keep a bunch at hunting camp with the Lee hand press along with brass, primers, powder and boolits to fiddle with in the evening when i'm there. Extra set of dies up there, too for all my handguns and a couple of rifles.

I like convenience more than what a press costs. I have two 550's a 450, one BIG MAX, a MEC hydraulic 12 ga and a 20 ga MEC.
