Most Common Reloading Press (Single Stage)

Apologies if I missed any.

 

[markyw]

I have a Lee Challenger breech lock (used for rifle calibres), a Lee Classic 4 hole turret (mainly pistol reloading but some rifle) and a Lee Reloader press (just for de-priming).
Bought the first 2 at and just after starting out and given the 3rd later so put it to use. Not seen the need to upgrade to "better" brands just for a colour change


Regards

Mark

I have been using (!) an RCBS A1 press that was 20+ years old in 1980 when i bought it. I have several kinds of presses but i like Forrester. The RCBS is used as much...-Muir

I use "other" an Australian Simplex that is a clone of the better model of Lyman.

Rockchucker mostly but often use a Wamadet as well.

I now use a Prazipresse, German overengineering pure they are located 80kms from my house which tilted my decision compared to writing to a US company. My RC and Lyman have been retired for the moment the RC may come back on for heavy rough stuff though..

Like most who get into reloading ive ended up with 3 presses but id be certain the most common is a lee challenger or breach lock, i have some high end presses and the lee does the exact same as them in all honesty, the only true upgrade is an arbor press in my experience. The difference is in the dies not the press from what ive learnt

Yep, started off with a lee challenger and loaded 1000's of very accurate rounds on it, thats now got a universal decapping die in it and have a have redding big boss and a T7 with a mix of decent hornady and redding bushing dies.
I'm loading for 5 different calibres so the redding T7 just made sense time wise.

I also started with a lee challenger, went trough several presses and landed with a rock chucker supreme which i recently purchased and only use for decapping, a dillion 550b for plinking ammo like .303, .357, .44 etc and for precision stuff i was generously donated an arbor press and a whole load of le wilson micrometre dies and neck sizing dies, id say i was never likely to get an arbor press off my own back but now i have one they are the best of the best, small portable and insanely accurate and never need adjusting in a single session i love them!

Old school rock chucker 1 (the one with the straight handle and light green color).

 

[Woodlander]

RCBS turret press
Maybe not for those wanting to squeeze the most accuracy out of there reloads, but so much more convenient if you’re reloading for several calibres
