How many own more than one press?

2 RCBS Rockchuckers.
5 Dillon 450 or 550 presses set up each in a dedicated caliber: .308, 5.56, .45, 9mm, .38 Special.
1 Lyman Spartan used for depriming and various tasks.

I only mount one Dillon to the table at a time, and when not in use they sit on angle plates mounted to the wall. Same with the Rockchuckers, only one at a time mounted to the table. The Lyman is infrequently used for odd calibers such as .30-30, .45-70, or .22 Hornet, small volume cartridges.
 
I have a Hornady LNL, and change out dies for different pistol calibers. Do you guys have more than one so you can leave it set up the a certin caliber?

Yes.

Three progressives, one semi-progressive, one turret, two SS, one MEC and a partridge in a pear tree.
 
We have 3 single stages.
1 RCBS RS, 1 Lee Breech Lock Challenger, and 1 POS flimsy Lyman that never gets used. We did have a Rockchucker Supreme and another Reloader Special, but had a break in and lost all our stuff. I would like to add a Forrester Coax eventually.
 
Reloading Press Inventory

Wow impressive pictures and all the different reloading presses being used.
I have had Herters, C&H, Mec, RCBS, Lee, Llyman including the 310 tools and one I just sold, a Hollywood Sr. complete.
I have sold everything except for an RCBS Rockchucker that does everything. I have two Piggybacks I use with the press for pistol cartridges. the piggyback comes off for large rifle cartridges. It all works on a portable bench made out of a workmate. Im happy. Be Safe!!!:neener:
 
I have 3 presses....2 Dillon 550B's setup for large primers and the other small primers, only dies I have now for them are 45acp & 38 Spl. I also have a Lyman Turret press primarily for precision rifle ammo 223Rem,308 Win.
 
I've got a Dillon 550B progressive, a Lyman T-Mag turret, and a Forster single stage which is the one I use most.
 
2 old Lee Load-Alls for 12 ga. and 20 ga. I haven't used either in years.
A four-hole Lee Turret press that I use for handgun loads.
A three-hole Lee Turret press as a spare.
A basic Lee single stage that I picked up for $15 at a gunshow.
A cast iron C-H press from the 1960's. Tough as nails.
 
2 Partner presses for decaping and such,
1 Rock Chucker for load developement and small batches of rifle,
1 Piggyback 3 for the Rock Chucker for 45acp
1 Hornady LNL AP set up for 9 &40 and when I'm doing rifle in the Rockchucker

Hey Striker,

I noticed you have a Piggyback as well as a Hornady L&L. Unless your L&L is the single stage press, I cannot imagine you would be using the Piggyback with an L&L progressive. I am guessing your L&L is single stage?

Best wishes,

Let's see, I have a Dillon 550B, an RCBS Reloader Special, and a couple of MEC shotgun presses. In the spirit of the thread, also have a Lyman 450 sizer.

I'm thinking of another 550B so I have one in each primer size. It's a nice time saver not to have to change the primer setup. My loading time is somewhat limited due to work and travel, so that would save time when I do have the chance to load. Just a thought at this point.

I'm also in lust with the Hornady turret press, but haven't bought one yet. Might be just the ticket for rifle rounds. The Lyman turret looks pretty good, too.
 
I have a LNL AP, LNL classic SS, and a Lee Deluxe turret. I know that is the "wrong" turret press, but it was my first, and I just can't get rid of it. I dig 'em all.
 
I have 3, 1 Dillon 550B and 2 RCBS Rock Chuckers. I use the Dillon for pistol loads and the Rock Chuckers for rifle loads. All are currently in storage as I am in the process of moving back WV after being away for almost 40 years.
 
I have an old Lyman Spar-T, with 6 stations, plus a Lee handpress, which resides in a tool box with everything needed for reloading.

I use the handpress at the range when developing loads, the Spar-T for production.
 
I have 2. A Big Boss II which I really like, and an old Lee in which I leave a universal expanding die. I find that setup very handy. I reload pistol cartridges and in relatively small quantities compared to some folks! It's recreational weekend shooting and great fun to reload.
 
Technically I own four, but one of them is the little Lee C-press (I've forgotten the name) that has never been mounted or used.

The ones I use are an RCBS Reloader Special 3, a Lee Turret press and a Lee Pro1000 set up for 45AP. I have the Lee presses mounted on the Bench Plate system so I can get them out of the way when I don't need them, but the RCBS is mounted directly to the same spot where it's been since I built the bench in 1989.

I also mounted my powder measure and bullet sizer to one of the bench plates because it's handy to clear them out of the way when I'm using the progressive or the turret with automatic powder dispensers.
 
Three for me with a fourth on the way, I have a Redding BIg Boss II (great press), a RockChucker Jr from 1967, and a Pro 2000 auto index (best progressive in my experience).

The Redding T-7 is on the way as I type this.
 
I started off with a Lee turret press (still have it, don't use it much anymore), upgraded to a Forster Co-Ax and loved it for long time. Then I got really into high volume pistol shooting (I was just reloading for my Mosin-Nagant, and a little for my AR15) and broke down and bought a Hornady LnL-AP progressive. I also inherited an old Rock Chucker, which I use exclusively for swaging military brass since I can't use the RCBS swage die thingamabob on the Co-Ax.

Seriously, SIX 1050s?! Dude, I am coming over, I will replace one with my Lee turret while you sleep. Leave a sticky note on the one set up for .45ACP. You need more variety in your life. :D
