1 RCBS Turret press

1 Lee O type that is cast Iron--Classic Cast?
1 Lee Challenger press
1 Lee handheld press. For range work.

1 MEC 600 JR 28 GA

1 Miller & Allen Arbor press

I only set up a single MEC at a time on the bench due to space restrictions.
Lee Challenger is dedicated to a Lee universal decapping die.
 
I have a Lee Load Master, Lee Pro1000, Lee BL Classic Cast, Lee BL Hand Press, & RCBS Partner. I was thinking there was 6.
 
These, a Mec Jr, Lee hand press, five Lyman 310 tools and several boxes of the old Lee whackem classics

I'm a simple man...

1) RCBS Rock Chucker (for both rifle and handgun calibers)

2) Mec 600 Jr. (with change dies to load 10 ga., 12 ga. and 20 ga.)

I'm retired so changing over and single steps in reloading let me take my time, enjoy it and do things right.
 
  1. Forster CoAx
  2. Hornady LNL-AP
  3. C&H Model 333
  4. Lee Hand Press (not used much since I got the CoAx)
  5. old C&H 'C' press (don't know what model) Looks like cast iron but it's aluminum. I've never used this one.
 
Only two

Dillon Square Deal B for small primer stuff
(.380, 9mm, .38/.357, .40)
Dillon RL 550B for large primer stuff
(.44 spl/mag, .45 ACP, .500 S&W and coming up .308)
 
550, 650, Hornady Projector, Lyman All American, Ponsness Warren P200, Lyman Spartan, Redding Boss and MEC 600.

Of my 9 presses (5 cartridge, 4 shot shell) only one is in play at any time. The metallic presses are each mounted on their own floor stand. The un-used presses are stored against the wall out of the way.

The shot shell presses are mounted to the reloading table when used, otherwise they are stored on a shelf. The MEC 600jr's will stand by themselves when not in use.

Otherwise, I would not have room for everything.
 
1-Dillon RL550B
4- Hornady 366s 12, 20, 28, and .410
1-Froster Co-ax

Also 1 Hornady 007 press that I clamp temporarily to my work bench outside of my reloading room for decapping at times, pulling bullets, or for giving some hands on experience to people who want to learn to reload. This is also the reason I have kept all my old Hornady dies. I don't want to deal with stuck cases or misuse of my Reddings
 
I thought Square Deals were single caliber units.

Nope. you can get cartridge change kits just like other presses.

It is just at the low price of the SDB, it does not really cost much more to buy the whole shooting match and change cartridges by swapping out the whole press.

The SDBs are limited to handgun cartridges and Dillon propriety dies so there is a limited number of choices available.
 
It seems I'm not the only one who has loading press just showing up on my bench I have a lyman single stage, a lee load all in 16 ga, a mec versa mec in 410, a mec jr 12, mec jr in 20 ga, and a mec jr that is getting ready to be converted to 28 ga
