About 15 but I don’t have them all mounted because I ran out of room on my 22 foot long bench!
A few of mine are going ro the auction this week Maybe 10 counting the Mec 600s
I think I have six. My first one was a Lee 1000 in 38 / 357 caliber. Then I decided I needed a dedicated one for 45 Colt caliber. Later still I decided I needed one in 45 ACP.
Then I got a Lee turret press 4 hole in a deal. Wow I was smitten. I got a second Lee turret press. Then a Lee single stage to load 41 Long Colt with Redding dies.
I've been loading over 40 years and may have all the stuff I need.
I could say just 1 if we are talking only about metallic cartridge loading and sticking to what we actually use.
If the count includes all loaders then I have 5. Two RCBS Rock Chuckers, two Lee progressives and one MEC 600Jr 12 gauge. I originally got the 2nd Rock Chucker so I could have duplicate setups both at my house and the farm where my parents are. But it got to be too much trouble to duplicate everything so I just put back the extra press and scale and only load at my house.
Only 5 at present. Pacific C, Bonanza Co-Ax, Dillon 550b, Dillon SDB, and Ponsnes Warren 375. The Pacific hasn't been used in about 30 years, when I bought the 550b. I had a Huntington hand press for several hears, but seldom used it.

Five presses, 2 set up for use.
Dillon 550, Forester, Lee Classic Cast, small RCBS, and a Lee hand press. The Lee CC has never been used.
2 and a half years latter and I've added more than my original post
Mec 600jr mk5 in 28
Mec 600jr mk5 in 410
Mec 600jr 85 in 20
Mec 600jr in 10 (needs a size ring) newest
2 Mec 650 in 12
Mec Sizemaster in 12
MEC grabber in 12 (but it's totally broken down)
Texen LT 12 (new so I don't want to use it)
CH c press (like new so I don't use)
And another Lee classic. Looking to add a mec supersizer in 410 or 20.
Just the 2, an RCBS JR3 and a Dillon RL550B. With the two it does the trick.

An RCBS single stage.
A Lee single stage.
A Dillon SDB.

Not doing much reloading currently, but over the years have picked up the following presses used:

Just starting shotgun:
Mec Sizemaster 12 ga.

At last count I have 9. Started with an RCBS hr 60 years ago, Got a Rock chucker with a piggyback setup, than a lyman AA turret, than a 1 station and 4 station C&H "H" press, next was a Dunbar and than I discovered Holleywood. I have a steel Senior shorty and a steel Tallboy. Time to unload some of the earlier ones so I can stick with the Hollywoods. I may have a 3position Hollywood in a week or so.
I have: Dillion 550, Dillion 650, Redding single stage, 5 Pacific 336’s and a 20 gauge MEC.
