Voted 4, but forgot shotshell so actually 6.

Current setup:

Lee classic cast
Hornady LNL AP and classic
Redding T7

Lee shotshell
Mec 600 Jr


Will probably add Forster coax one day and a 650 just for the hell of it. Have other priorities right now though.

Five, but only two see any real use.  My father's old Spartan press is a dedicated bullet puller, not counting it.

My oldest is an old Pacific (Hornady) single stage "C" type I bought back in 1978.

Next comes an RCBS "O" type bought used off e-bay several years ago.

Next is a Lee "O" type from a family member.

Newest is a Lee progressive press I bought last winter.  It's not set up to be progressive, I just like the idea of being able to set up my dies in a disc and not have to change out, or set up, dies when I change calibers.

Pacific Super Deluxe

I've never actually used the Pacific, it came along with a large box of random reloading equipment I picked up on Craigslist. Cleaned it up and put it on a shelf and there it sits to this day. The Hornady single stage doesn't see much use anymore, either. I thought it would compliment the progressive with the die bushing setup but it did not work out that way. Only reason I'm holding on to it is my neighbor has expressed interest in reloading and I'll probably give it to him along with some other extra stuff I have laying around if/when he finally takes the leap.

I have 2 (650's) because I found a local guy selling one with a bunch of extra caliber conversion, tool heads and extra parts I needed.  I was going to keep the parts I wanted and sell the press.  It needed a little cleaning so I put it up on the bench, got it going and figured Id have to make sure it work.  I bolted it down and for some reason it never got taken down to sell
