Hornady 007. Bought it brand new for 25$ 26 years ago from a sports and outdoors Co that was liquidating it's show room. It also came with a Pacific scale and a Hornady pistol powder measure for an extra 40$. I Stored it all at my dad's until I finaly gave reloading a go 6 years ago. Got an RCBS partner press as a gift 2 years ago. It speeds things up but I will be getting a progressive press when my budget permits it.

Forster Co-Ax for the ease of changing dies. Also the Co-Ax gets good reviews, so I thought I would try one.

well, learned something new...never heard of Forster before.
I'm curious how many people use Lyman...you never hear about them. Lee, RCBS, Dillon and a bit about Hornady.

Dillon XL650, and a Lee Classic Cast with Hornady LnL quick change bushings. Haven't used the single stage yet though... Getting there, lol. First year reloading, so hopefully I'll get to loading rifle when I don't have anything else going on in the winter.
I bought the Dillon because it's a Dillon... The Dillon progressives came highly recommended from everyone I talked to. Bought the Lee because they look well made, and they're not super expensive. I threw the LnL adapter in there because I'm lazy, and like the idea of not having to re-adjust dies every time.

RCBS Rockchucker, RCBS 50, Redding T7 turret and a 550 Dillon Lee hand press, Rockchucker for my hunting rifles, RCBS 50 for 50 BMG and 416 Barret, T7 for bigger revolver and straight wall cases, 550 Dillon for pistol up to 44 Mag Lee hand press for loading at the range. Started out in the 70’s with a Rockchucker till longer cartridges came along then bought a Lyman, which I didn’t like so went back to a Rockchucker.
Rcbs jr2 single stage ... because it was my first press. Bought it and a box of stuff from a widow on craigslist.
Hornady LNL progressive ... because I got back into competing and needed more ammo in less time
Dillon 650 progressive ... because I was competing more and focused one division so I wanted lots of 40 cal ... also because I lived 20 minutes from Dillon at that time.
Still have them all and still use them. Green for load workup and 41 magnum because I'm too cheap to buy shellplate for caliber I don't shoot much of. Red for large primers. Blue for small primers.
