Lee Deluxe Turret kit. I still have and use it, but in the far future I plan on getting a DIllon to speed things up.

I started with a RCBS Rockchucker kit. Later I added a Dillion 550. I still use the Rockchucker quite a bit.

[Okey]

I started with a RCBS Rockchucker kit also. That was about 2 months ago so I'm still using it.

I started with the RCBS Jr press. Moved up to the Rockchucker and still have it. Have a Dillon 550 for .44mag/spl and .45acp.

I started with an RCBS RockChucker about 25 years ago...I still use the same one, but I did buy another RockChucker last year.

Using both presses at once speeds things up considerably...without losing the precision of single stage presses.

I shoot just as much 308 as I do 45acp...the precision matters to me.

I started with a Lyman Spar T kit circa 1980. Wasn't a very good press and was proud to move up to a Rock Chucker in a few years.

Lee loadmaster progressive. I added a lee single stage afterwhile to do stuff singley style.

RCBS Rockchucker for 30 years. I have a couple of Lee presses also.

[ukerduker]

I chose the RCBS Rockchucker as my first press.

I started a long time ago with a Lee Classic Turret and it is still chugging right along. No problems at all.

RCBS Rockchucker supreme and carbide dies.

[DWARREN123]

The Lee Aniversary Kit about 4 years ago and I am still using and still happy with it.

I think it is a great setup especially for straight walled pistol rounds.

I started with the Lee Deluxe Turret kit, then found a steal of a deal on a Dillon SQD, and now I just got in trade a RCBS.

All are in use, though the Dillon see's more use since it's for the .40 & 9mm loads

[Guest DaG]

Dillon SDB for pistol and RCBS Single Stage for precision rifle.

Started with a RCBS Rockchucker almost 25 years ago and still using it. The single stage still works for me since I don't shoot a ton of rounds. Loading 38, 357, and 40.

I have been looking at a Lee Classic single stage and a Lee 1000 progressive to do pistol rounds. Looked at the RCBS RockChucker but it is twice the price of the Lee.

years ago.

Then a Herter's U press,

Then 85 or so and still a Redding.

For volume I use a Dillon 550

I have some presses in reserve if the Redding ever fails me.

I tried to get a backup 550, but someone recognized the great deal a couple of minutes before me.

[gary_boom]

I borrowed my brothers RCBS around 20 years ago and still have it. I also have Dillion 550.

I borrowed my brothers RCBS around 20 years ago and still have it.

Now that's some impressive "borrowing".

Lee 1000 progressive.

[chipperi]

Lyman T-Mag kit here. Been using for about 16 years now.

[rstandley]

Lee Loadmaster, 2 of them.

[Guest PerazziTM1]

I started loading shotshells, Lee handloaders the deluxe modle came in a candy like box about a foot long. Then I went to a Lyman "EASY" loader, then a MEC 600jr, Mec 9000G (progressive) all of these were 12ga, the I added a MEC Grabber in 20 ga (progressive). For the metal stuff its been a RCBS chucker, it will handle everything that I shoot.

Enjoy,

Lee kit single stage then RCBS rock chuck, square deal Dillon, 4 hole lee turret, 550 Dillon. Gave the single stage Lee to a friend to start him out. Then sold him the 4 hole Lee turret. Sold the square deal and bought the 550 Dillon. Load all rifle on the Rock chuck except 5.56mm, load all pistol and 5.56mm on the Dillon. Lee single stage press loaded a boat load of 30-06 once upon a time so much so that my brother and I bought the Rock chuck to only seat bullets. De cap and neck size in one press and seat bullets in the other press. When we started loading pistol we had to have a progressive.
