hey all I just started reloading about 3 months ago. picked up the lee 50th anniversary kit and love it. I think I got bit by the reloading bug hard cause iam already thinking about getting anther press. the single stage is just fine for rifle rounds (done about 150 243win) but after reloading a little over 1000 9mm on it iam seriously considering buying a progressive or turret for pistol rounds. iam I crazy for wanting anther press in such a short time or should I just continue with my single stage.... so my question is how many presses do you own
 
I'll throw in my nos: 9 presses. rcbs, lyman tru-line jr., ponsess warren P-200, 3 load all, pacific 266, sizemaster, versa-mec.

I have 3 pro 1000s each setup for 1 calibre. (9mm, 38/357 and 45acp) I've got a cheapo Lee single stage and a Lee hand held press lol. Once I build an established reloading room I will get a Lee classic cast for manly jobs and either a Hornady progressive or Dillion 650xl. I also have a MEC 600 for 12ga buck shot.
 
I am up or down to 8 right now, it all depends on how you look at it as to weather I am collecting or parting with things..............although I do have 1 in the EE right now, but just got a RCBS Summit in the mail...........
 
I have one Turret press I use for all my pistol loads. They are set up for the cartridge. I than use a Lee O press and a old Lyman press for rifles. Two shell holders speed things up. when I load magnums I like to load single stage and use the two press
 
I started off on a single stage Lee Anniversary kit. Like the OP, after cranking a bunch of handgun ammo, I ended up picking up a Hornady LNL AP progressive press for 9mm, 45ACP and plinking ammo for 223 and 300BLK. Waiting for a good deal on a 357 shell plate. :)

I use the single stage for depriming brass and loading precision ammo.

are you running the wire ejector?
 
One Lee single stage for my Rifle reloading and one Lee Progressive Press for my Pistol reloading. Really want to get one more single stage as I reload 9 different rifle loads and some much more frequent than others.

One 12 gauge Lee Load all, one 16 gauge Lee Load all (sadly never used...) and one 20 gauge Lee Load all for my shotguns.

Typing this I realise I need a life or alternatively a daily extension of the 24 hour day to 26 hours would be greatly appreciated too :).
