This is a simple question what brand or press do you own.

Since I am new to reloading I looked up all the brands that Midway sells so I wouldn't miss any.


I shoudl have set this up to select more then one press, but now that I started it this way I think I will just leave it.

Unfortunately you only have to select one option. I own an RCBS single stage, a Dillon progressive 9mm press, a 12ga MEC progressive and a MEC single stage 28ga. I've been very satisfied with all of them.
 
RCBS Rockchucker. This is a fantastic press that will easily outlast me. RCBS customer service makes it even better. However, if you want to really turn out the ammo Dillon does make a fine progressive press with no known equal.

You needed to have the ability to select more then one. I have a Hornady AP and a RCBS Rock Chucker. Before you decide on a press decide how much reloading do you plan to do, especially with the cost of components going up.
 
Two Hornady LNL presses, one Hornady Pro-7, one Hornady 366, one Bair 3-station H press, and one Neil Jones (?) arbor press for bench rest dies/loading.

Good shooting and be safe.

Lee Challenger

Does the job but I need to speed things up the way ammo prices are going. Looking to get the classic turret from Lee.
 
looks like I'm the only one so far with a lyman (T-Mag II turret press). I still have my old Lee Turret Press from the 1980s too, but I'm only using the t-mag these days.
 
A couple Dillon, a Lee, a couple RCBS, a couple MEC, a Redding, and a few more.
 
I have the standard Lee 4 hole turret press. I only reload 40 S&W ammo, this press works great, 2000 rounds loaded so far, no problems.
 
A Hollywood that I bought used in 1963, and still use today.
Two RCBS Rockchuckers
A Hornady Pro-Jector
A Magma Case Master Jr.
Two Mec 600 Jr.'s

I load for 26 different calibers and one shotgun guage, so it takes more than one press.

Hope this helps.

Just added a Hornady 366 for shotgun today.

I tried to edit the poll to multiple guess, but I can't once it is published to the web. I did add MEC for those shotgun lovers.
