I figured I should update since I've added a couple of presses. Lee Challenger, Classic Cast SS, 2 Classic Cast Turret Presses, Lee Pro 1000. I just bought the Classic Cast Turret Press kit at Cabela's ,and the Challenger Anniversary kit at Midway. I'm almost out of room on my benches I just built.

MEC 650 and Lyman T-Mag II w/ 3 turrets.

The T-Mag was a surprise gift from my wife and I had no input in choosing the brand. But it, together with a Lyman DPS1200-II digital powder measure/scale makes some really good ammunition!

Lyman press

I was given a Lyman turret press as a birthday present in about 1980 and have been using it ever since. I've had other presses since then, but always seem to go back to this one.

i've got two single stage c-presses on my loading bench... one is a lee reloader press and the other is an old heavy cast press from bair co in lincoln neb... i use them both at the same time for different operations too.... i really like that old bair press!.. the thing is almost bullet proof.... it will out last several generations of reloaders i'm thinkin.........

One thirty year old RCBS Rockchucker.

 

[Vitamin G]

Lee anniversary kit, and then upgraded to a Lee Classic Turret after contemplating loading 3000 rounds of 9mm for storage.
Based on my math of rounds per hour, i'd be about 1000rds into the 9mm if i had stayed with the single stage.
I finished the 9mm a while ago, finished equal amounts of .45acp, and am now on 10mm.

Redding Boss for rifle. Dillon Square Deal for pistol. MEC for shotgun.

I have 3 presses

I've had numerous presses down through the years. I presently have an RCBS
Big Max, probably the strongest single stage press ever. I also have an RCBS
ammomaster. My newest press is the Dillon 550. I was talked out of the 650 simply because I don't reload over 3000 cases a month. The ammomaster doesn't have a very good priming system on it. I usually use the Lee auto prime to prime. I also like the RCBS primer strips but they are a pain to order in my part of the country. I've settled on the Dillon 550 for pistol and the ammomaster for rifle. I'm still thinking about getting the auto case feeder. Just another piece of equipment to malfunction. I love the simplicity of my 550. I almost forgot, I have a Mec 650 for shotgun. That makes 4 presses doesn't it.

RCBS Rockchucker - Bought in 1979. Works like brand new and it's been used a LOT!
MEC 600 Jr. 12 ga. It was older than dirt when I got it!!!
MEC 600 Jr. Mk V - 20 ga.
Dillon RL-550B - Wonderful press. This was the one I chose in the poll.

 

[Guzzizzit]

I have a MEC shotshell reloader. Theyre made right in my home town.

 

[tasco 74]

wolf that old bair co press i was speaking of is light blue.... if it's one of those it's a great strong press!

 

[Archer1945]

Lee Challenger, Lee Load-All (least I think I still have it), MEC 600 jr, Lee hand press. Soon to get either a Lee turret or progressive.

Looks like the cruddy LEE press is winning at this point. I'm glad I own one then!
