What Press do you use???

[MetricMan]

Just about 30 years with a RCBS Rockchucker that I bought used. Thousands of round loaded, and thousands more in the future!

 

[Eagleye]

Forster Co-Ax for all my reloading

The RCBS Rockchucker has been relegated to been used for bullet pulling.

Same here! Dave.

 

[dead meat]

Lyman orange crusher is my main press, setting up an old Hornady projector for 223 when needed. Pacific 155 with 12 and 20 ga dies for shotshells. Geeez all my stuff is getting old, kind of like me.

 

[steyr36]

XL 650 and RCBS A2 (Had a Square Deal, great press for one or two calibers)

5 pistol, 6 rifle

 

[bigbull]

MOstly the Bonanza Co-Ax, RCBS Rockchucker, RCBS Big Max & Hornady Projector in that order
BB

 

[ice2152]

Lee deluxe turret and lee load all 2.

 

[Heddok]

Dillon 650 XL for volume stuff and Lyman T-Mag for small batches, may add a second 650

Sean, what are you using for the auto-drive?

Ponsness Warren, Rob. I've wired a bypass to the foot pedal, wired the primer sensor, powder check and added a switch in the bullet feeder magazine to kill the motor if I run out of a component or have the wrong powder charge. Turn on press, watch ammo come out.

 

[OldDude]

An RCBS Rock Chucker and a Lee Progressive 1000, both dating from the 1980's.....

Wow.... no Redding T-7's or Lyman T-Mag's?.......lots of love for the Lee Classic turret.
I'm using an old RCBS Jr, and has/is still doing well, just looking for an upgrade and opinions on the Lyman or the Redding...sorry for the hi-jack

I have been using the Tmag2 for about 25 years. Also use an RCBS jr, and a couple of lee single stages
Love the tmag. Great press

 

[slicknova]

2 load all's, a size-master, a good ol' pacific, Rockchucker, lnl, projector, Lyman tru-line jr, lee 3 turret, lee 4 hole turret, and a lee classic cast single stage.
The lnl, and the rockchucker are where I spend most of my time.

 

[Bluedevil25]

Bonanza Co-Ax!!!!!

 

[y2k]

A Lee Pro 1000 that is 24 years old and still going strong for handgun cartridges mainly .45acp. And a RCBS Rockchucker that is 26 years old for rifle cartridges.

 

[Rory McCanuck]

Bonanza Co-Ax, C-H Champion, Lee Challenger Breechlock and an old aluminum Pacific that's been broken and re-welded, has an eigth of an inch of play in the ram, and works on the up or down stroke. They all work well, and are neat in their own way.

Could post some pics and vids of this setup Sean? would love to use as basis for a similar setup in my basement this year. Although I am leery about automating it as I still get bullets falling sideways now and then and weird primers not popping out on decapping. You must run a combo seat and crimp if you have a powder charge checker?

Hornady 00-7. Would love to get a Redding T7.

Sure, Rob - I'll work on the pics and vids. I do run a Lee combo crimp / seat die.
I also am lucky enough to have a source for some really good processed brass which keeps the machine from hiccupping on decapping issues, etc.

Had 2 lee pro 1000 got rid that carp, Now i have a Dillon 550 and Dillon SD and 2 mec jr also a Rock Chucker

 

[relliott]

Thanks Sean. I too would like to see pix and maybe see if there's some way to automate the 650.

 

[bjmurata]

I'm still using the one and only press I've ever owned,a Rockchucker purchased in early '77.She has loaded one pile of rounds and still lots of life left in her yet.
