what press do you have

[M4Sherman]

I have Pacific standard C which I currently use for .38 and soon to be .30 carbine. I know I only have ONE press but it suits my current needs.

2 pacific multipower

Started with a Rockchucker and a couple yrs later bought a Lyman Spar-T turret. I drilled/tapped the turret and added a handle like the newer Lyman turret...the handle was a great improvement over grabbing the turret. Been using it about 15 yrs and still happy with it...but If I ever upgrade it will be a Redding turret.

Lee Progressive 1000.

Bought my Rockchucker about 1980.

More recently got a Classic Cast Turret from Lee. Brilliant kit it is too.

A RCBS Rockchucker.............35+ years. Rifle calibers.
A Lee Pro 1000.....................10 years. Pistol Calibers.
And a virgin Hornady LNL progressive in the process of being set up.
No reason why I use the RCBS for rifles other than I strated out reloading rifles long before pistols and it is just the way it has stayed.

Rockchucker - everything.
Dillon 1050 - .45 ACP
Dillon 650 - .40S&W, .223, .308
Redding T-7 - .338 Lapua
Hollywood Sr. Turret - .50 BMG
RCBS Ammomaster - .50 BMG
Lyman Tmag II - .50AE, .38 & .357
Dillon SL900 - 12ga.

I got my Rockchucker about 25 years ago, I can't fill in the dates on the others - they came between then and now. I think the Redding T-7 is the newest, and I've had it since they came out (6 years?).

I've gotten rid of a few presses along the way, for various reasons, but I'm quite happy with the presses I currently own, for the use I put 'em to.

I've three Hornady LNL's that are workhorses, tools, good accurate and wouldn't be without them. But my real presses (my true passion is loading and shooting centerfire rifle, one at a time) is a newer Lee Classic Cast, and a semi-retired 1985 model Lee Challenger. By the way the ammunition loaded on the new, stronger, and better quality press is in no way any better than the stuff loaded for years on the Challenger.

RC for the last 40 years. Plus a Lyman Spar-T that is dressed with .357/.38 dies. Plus a Dillon for quantities of pistol boolits. Plus a Lee O-Frame and a Lee C-frame that I intend to use at the range when I get around to doing that stuff.

I use all of them, if someone is selling to upgrade, buy lee . If you can spend 500 on a dillon, nice press, you can buy , used, two semi lee and one rcbs for rifle for 250 and 200 in powder primmers bullets extra 50 for your best bottle.

[casterofboolits]

Lyman 310 for 7mm Mauser ( first attempt at reloading 1966)

RCBS Jr. 1968

RCBS Rockchucker 1970

CH Auto Champ Mk5A 45 ACP for IPSC (two)

Dillon SQB for 9mm, 38 Super, 38/357 and 40 S&W.

Looks like I'm going to have to save up my pennies and buy another SDB for 45 ACP as CH no longer has parts for the CH Mk5A.

[Cowboy T]

Lee Progressive 1000.

+1. I have two of them, and they work great.

[cuzinbruce]

RCBS Jr 2 since I started long ago. And just setting up an old Lyman S-T turret that turned up at the flea market for next to nothing.

I'm surprised there was only one other person with a RCBS Pro 2000 (unless I missed some). Its a great press. Mine is setup the equivalent of a 6 station press (I replaced the RCBS dedicated powder dropper with a Lee Powder thru the Die).

Station one: sizes/deprimes
Station two: bells/primes/drops powder
Station three: powder check die
Station four: seats the bullet
Station five: factory crimp die

As if that is not enough, it uses the fantastic APS primer system.

A complete caliber change (including changing size of primer) takes less than 5 minutes (could probably be done in half that, but I clean up the press when changing over).
