    +1 what JesterGrin said about the turret. It's the only press you will ever need. Unless you swedge. And I bet someone is doing that with it.
    Thank You Ekalb2000

    In the picture I put up I even purchased the Pats Dock Mount thinking I would change out from one press to another as I also have a couple of RCBS Single Stage presses. But found that I only need the Lee Classic Cast Turret Press lol. But it is nice to remove when I need the extra room.

    An RCBS JR2 and a JR3 single-stages. Just sold a Lee Challenger. Don't have a need for high-volume output. Too, I'm not very compatable with change. However, the Lee turret seems to have a few benefits.

    Rockchucker to start. Forester Co-ax mounted on a board and clamped to the reloading bench or shooting bench at the range. Dies snap in and out and no shellholder. Makes ammo to hold the 10ring at 1000. Dillon 550 for the 45acp. Mec Grabber for the shotguns.

    Lee hand press. 2 Lee "Reloader' presses. Lyman Spar-T. Rock Chucker.

    If they all got burned tonight I would replace the two Reloaders and get a Lee Classic Cast single stage instead of the RC and a Lee Classic Turret instead of the Lyman turret. THAT'S the significant info here; not what we actually have but what we would replace it with after considering what we've learned since we got what we did!

    I currently have a Rockchucker, a Partner, a L-N-L Ap for handgun and rifle. For shotshells I have a Hornady progressive.

    Now what I have had: A Dillon 1000. Dillon 1050, Hornady Projector, RCBS Greenmachine and a little portable built by T & N Manufacturing that was like the one sold by Huntington.

    The Dillon 1050 was stolen a few years ago or I would still have it. Rotten S. O. B.s....Wes
    The problem in America today is, there are to many fools making to many rules that don't apply to themselves. Now just wait until the new pres. takes office and see what happens!!!!!

    Remember the average response time of a 911 call is over 4 minutes. The average response time of a .357 is around 1300 F.P.S.

    An RCBS RC, about half of an RCBS A2 (garage sale find, no idea what happened to the rest of it), a Lyman T-Mag, a couple of Pacific C's, and old Bair C, a couple of Lee hand presses, seems like there is one or two more. Half interest in a Dillon 550.

    Have the Lyman set up here at home, and a C out in the shop. I think the hand presses are both in my portable kit, the Dillon is at my brother's, and the rest of the C's are loaners for new loaders. I want to gradually get Lyman/Ideal 310s for some of the more-used calibers.

    LEE Challenger press and an old school Redding Turret press, plus a LEE hand held press.

    Hmmm.....

    Rock chucker (old one)
    Lee challenger set up as a dedicated decapper
    Dillon SDB
    Lee pro 1000 set up as a dedicated decapper
    2 MEC 600 Jr's

    Dedicated decappers to keep all the primer residue out of the other presses. It works for me....

    Dromia, with all those presses on your bench, do you even have room to work??
