what press do you use?

Hornady Projector Progressive x3
Hornady LnL AP
Hornady LnL Classic
Hornady 366 Auto

guess I like red, loaded 500k+ on one of my Projectors alone. Cant beat the customer servicee or warranty
 
I like RCBS Turret press and have been using it for a while. The ease of changing caliber between tureet and each turrent can hold up to 3 different caliber are big plus.
 
I have just started reloading and went with a Lee Hand Press. My whole reloading kit stores in a 1500 pelican case I had laying around. I do not reload more than 50 at a time so it works well for me. I was planning to get a full size press... but now I do not think I will unless I start reloading much higher volume.

If I invest in anything more it will be a fancy powder measure scale as that is what takes me time.

so, any thoughts on why there's a lack of love for Lyman? they've been around for ages, so I would have thought they'd have similar market penetration like Lee, but no, literally nothing it seems?

I love their dies, more so than RCBS in all calibers that I have reloaded, and pricepoint has been good. Haven't tried their presses, so I'm sorry I can't be of more direct help on the topic at hand.
 
Dillon 650s, Hornady LNL APs, RCBS supreme singles. All set up for specific calibers. Seems like a lot of capital investment, but once you put 30,000 rounds through a press that 1000.00 item becomes pennies a round. And I've only been reloading for a couple years.

Nice to have the guys over and chat while loading, makes the winter fly by and by spring we have a whole summer's worth of stockpiled.

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.

The first press I ever bought was a Lyman O-Mag in 1979, and it still has a place on my reloading bench. Whatever it cost, I got my money’s worth out of it decades ago — and it still sees regular use.
 
First was a new Lyman 310 hand tool in with skinny .308 dies. Glacial pace. :)
#2, a new Lee Turret for pistol. Eventual changed powder measure to more accurate Micro slide for HBWC 38spl loads.
#3, a WELL used RCBS Rock Chucker for rifle, depriming, and converting brass into other calibers.
#4, New Hornady LNL AP
#5, New Hornady, LNL Classic loader Single stage
Then a Friend died and I got his:
#6, Tru-line Jr Press (lyman 310 diameter dies). Gone now. Scrap metal
#7, Another Lee Turret, well used and three hole turret, changed to 4 hole.
#8, CH by Roddy C-press, mostly used with Lee universal Decapping die.

Really like the LNL dies change system
 
RCBS for me !

...... Yet another fan/user of an RCBS "Rockchucker". Bought it slightly used, and bargain-priced, way back in the late seventies. Simple and does everything I need it to do.Whats not to like? ..... David K
 
I started out with an Rcbs junior back in about 65 it stayed on my bench until last week when I swapped it out for a used rock chucker , just because.I Also have a Rcbs big max for the heavy work, a Dillon square d for 45 auto, a (pita) Dillon 650 for the cowboy loads ,a C-H 4 station H pres to fix all the crap the Dillon turns out.and my favorite (only used for light work )is a Rcbs partner with the handle shortened by about half.
