I have a plain Lee Press I bought because it was cheap. I wanted to make sure it was something I would do rather than be an expensive dust collector. The Lee was the cheapest but I am happy with it. I had my share of errors during the trial and error period but I have also made some good ammo and found a new hobbyI can share with my grand children. Thinking about upgrading to a progressive set now that I know I enjoy it.

i use the dillon 550b the most
and the lee single stage for sizing gas checks
i think i will sell the lyman turret just because i dont use it anymore.
great press
but the dillon does everything it can do.

i bought the lee kit to find out if i liked reloading
then i decided i wanted to spend more time shooting than loading

bought the brech lok 1st and loaded a few hundred rounds of rifle and pistol and decided i needed a better way to load handgun ammo so i bought the pro 1000 for just hand gun ammo and love the single stage for rifle

I started off with a bair press back in 1969, it was a good press, but sold
it to my cousin which he still uses today. (Sold it in 1971) Sense then I only
use a Lee turrent press. It"s what i like, and it works just fine for me.

i got a lee brech lock 3 pro 1000s lee turret and an old rcbs the pro 1000 i love the pro 1000 for the 9mm 223 and 45acp the brech lock is what i use for my 7mag
one press? the most.....uuungggh.
i have 2-550's
two ponsess warrens. one converts to 20 ga and the other does 2-3/4 through 3-1/2 12 ga
three mec's in 12 ga and one in 20
a pacific 336, used in conjunction with the mecs for sizing and final crimping.
two rcbs , one is used for swaging
one hornady
one lee c-press [i use for the power trimmer.] for rifle brass.
and an old c-press by challenger all but this one is sey up permanently. [mainly because it doesn't have interchangeable shell holders]
even when doing rifle rounds i use more than one press at a time.
one to seat, and one to crimp, or remove the mouth flair.
the c-press and mec's get used the least.
the others get used equally.

Why 3 of the Pro 100's? Are they dificult to change calibers? That is one worry I have about getting a progressive press, they seem to be very caliber specific.

Dang runfive, I finally met someone with more presses than me! I got on a kick a few years ago of buying stuff on fleabay to see what I really liked that fit my budget. My current lineup is Lee Classic Cast Turret, Lee Pro 1000, old CH single stage (only used for decapping '06 family brass), Pacific DL-105 12 ga. 2 3\4", MEC 500 12 ga. 2 3\4". Ive also got a partial "parts press" for the DL-105 since parts are somewhat hard to find.
