RCBS Ammomaster - a hold over from when I was loading long cartridges for my double rifles
Co-Ax - My most used press, I really love it now that I replaced the side linkage with the new curved pieces.

Oh Boy, the ones i can remember are 2 dillon 550, 1-1050, 5 Mec, a lee 12 ga, a pacific 12 ga. and 11ish assorted single stage and turret presses.
Giving money and power to Government, is like giving Whiskey and Car Keys to teenage boys!!!!
REMEMBER,,, Boys and Girls,,, An EMPTY gun is just an ugly club!!!!
I was lucky enough to see the legendary Texans' collection of every brand of press, and every version those makers offered. Hundreds.
JW P.s. I never saw a press I didn't like ;^)
HOLLYWOOD Collector Left hawg 405#, right one 315#, had my elderly neighbors granddaughter treed and why I got the call. Both charged, one from 20' and one from 40'. Thanks to the good Lord and Samuel Colt I won. May God bless our Lawmen & Soldiers!
Well, I acquired another 550 which came with a Dillon Strong mount, wow that mount has me spoiled. No more dipping of my shoulder on every ram upstroke it's made a world of difference in my comfort. I bought a second mount and I'll likely get more for the rest of the Dillon presses.

I saw the title of thread, and suddenly realized that I am in good company. I don't know how many presses I actually have, so I must count them:
2 or 3 RCBS Jr's (one set up at all times just to load small lots of pistol ammo)
1 RCBS Rock Chucker (Bought new in 1976)
2 Redding "Boss presses"
1 Redding (Don't know model... Same as the old Lachmiller shotshell medal)
2 Dillon RL-550B's (One for lg primers and one for Sm) Only used for pistol ammo.
1 Bonanza Co-Ax (Only used for precision seating...)
2- Precision Reloader "C" type presses (One set up at all times - Only used to pull bullets)
1 Lyman EZ-Loader (Never used... Don't know why I have it...)
1 Lyman Tru-Line Jr. (Don't know why I have this one)
2 or 3 Lyman Tong tools
1 Hollywood Sr. Press
1 CH "H" press
1 Star Reloader progressive...
So that's what? 18? I only use about half of them on a regular basis... Looks like I need to downsize... :blush:
Gosh, I didn't realize I had that many... And I'm not even going to mention Shotshell presses. Or Lubri-sizers, either...

I sold a few presses this winter, I am now staying with 1 Lyman Easy in 12 gauge, and various MEC's from 600jrs. to 9000's in gauges from .410 to 10 . 7 in all .
Cat
scopes and bags are cool, but palm rests 'n' irons RULE!
One RCBS rock chucker
One Dillon 550
One 12 Ga MEC 600 Jr
One 20 Ga MEC 600 Jr
One old Lee challenger press in a box somewhere.

If you count shotshell, I'm at 14 or 15. Strictly metallic, I got 4.
And i thought that i had too many presses at 10. I’m a slacker fer sure. But an old rcbs rock chucker is currently not in use
I added 2 since the last time I was here!
I got another Forester CoAx and a CH Autochamp MK lll!
Finally got the MK lll up and working, just need some tweeking with primer magazine and shield.
I am going to use the MK lll as a case processor to size, deprime and prime 9mm brass so I can inspect it before running out through my 1050 to load it!
Two - a Harrell’s turret press and a Rockchucker Supreme. I am assuming the 4 Lyman/Ideal 310 tools (which I use for depriming pistol brass off my good presses) do not count. In my fantasy life I use them to make ammo around a camp fire after the fall of civilization. (Which reminds me, I need to stock up on powder and primers.)
11 the last time I counted them.
It used to be 6 but I consolodated and got rid of the Mec Grabber 12 GA press, the Corbin CS2 press, Dillon 550B, and a Rockchucker Jr.
That leaves me with a Rockchucker and a Dillon 550B, not counting 2 Lyman 450's
I am humbled gentleman.
I have 2.
One is a replacement for a 44 year old RockChucker. It broke and RCBS replaced it under warranty.
The other is a Texan 12 ga progressive I found in a garage sale for $10. It was froze up with funky lube and when I managed to free it up it was out of time. I managed with a bit of mechanical skill (talent on loan from God) and internet pictures. Now I need to know if parts are available. I need the primer tube set up. Otherwise I need to feed the primer by hand.
Thanks reading.
