    Some additions, and adjustments to my reloading and swaging space.

    I've been picking up spare presses these last few months. RCIIs, RCIVs, Rebels, Ammomasters, WH2's and another T8. I need to organize it all. SO....

    Here we go, a thread to introduce you all to my little world of used presses.

    First up, an RCBS summit, a survivor of water damage.

    After shots, there is still some pitting, but everything is smooth and greased.





    Reassembled.... It's a good-looking press. I think I'd prefer the short handle over this mid-length one.

    The floor is a mess in this photo. I've since cleaned it up.

    These are my various presses on the in-line fabrication mounts. I use all of them for some purpose or another.
    Bottom row, left to right:
    C&H tool and die Swage o matic
    Lee challenger press (use it when trimming)
    RCBS Ammo Master
    RCBS RCII, I use when swaging with BSS dies


    Second row, left to right
    Lyman 4500 lubra sizer
    RCBS Bench Priming system
    Corbins Cannelure tool and Herters Core cutting fixture
    RCBS RCIV (Use it when sizing and decapping rifle calibers)


    Middle row, left to right.
    Lee APP deluxe post 2023
    My second Lyman T8 (going to swap my pistol dies over to a second press. I've 10 heads.)
    RCBS Power trim pro 2


    I spoke with Dan from In-Line Fabrication about a quick-mount plate for the Power Trim Pro 2. He said buy a blank mount, mount the PTP2 to a bit of 3/4" and then mount the wood to the blank plate. The process is as follows.

    The presses I use on a daily basis.

    RCBS Rebel, my primary swaging press for C&H Tool and Die .357 and .452 bullets.


    My Lyman All-American T8 is my primary reloading press.


    My first Walnut Hill 2 press, where I do most of my core seat and swage work.


    My second Walnut Hill 2 press, where I do most of my point forming during my swage work. I've a third Quick mount plate for a third WH2 press.


    My newest press, the RCBS Summit, I saved from flood damage.


    My vise that I use for all-around gun tinkering and cleaning.
