Default What equipment do you reload with?

Who is using what?
I have a RCBS Rock Chucker for big stuff and forming wildcats.
I use a Bonanza for most, because of the ease of operation. I love the spring loaded shell holder.
I have a Dillon 550B for quantity reloading.
I have a RCBS Jr but it does not get much action since I got the Bonanza.
I have an arbor press that I really enjoy with Wilson dies. I need to acquire more dies for it.
I use a Dillon vibrating case cleaner.
Forester case trimmer.
RCBS Chargemaster for precision loads.
RCBS powder drop for repetition loading.
I just bought Gracey power case trimmer.

I use a Dillon 550B for quantiy and match ammo (with Whidden's floating TH). I love it.

I do use a Hornady LocknLoad 50BMG for 50BMG and general tasks like bullet pointing, decapping military brass so I can take the crimp out, etc.

For quantity, I love Dillon's carbide dies. For match I like Forester dies. I only neck size benchrest style guns. Tactical guns, even the long range stuff like 338LM, and everything else always get FL sized.

I forgot about that! i have a Hornady ultrasonic cleaner, and a Frankford Vibratory cleaner as well. I use the tumbler on pistol brass, and both on rifle brass, depends on whether or not I want it shiny and clean, or just clean.

Using a RCBS press for bench mounted (next size smaller than RockChucker) Lee primer for Prairie dog ammo and K%M for BR or really good stuff. Harrell measure. Hornady balance for a scale

Just lately, I've been using a Lee Cast Classic Turret Press. I know, Lee stuff is for beginners....right?...not necessarily. The Cast Classic series is very serviceable. I even like the priming system. I always feel like I'm under control, unlike with some of the progressive systems I've tried. It's very adaptable to otherwise time consuming tasks related to case forming and neck turning, as well as working really well with the RCBS Chargemaster. I've loaded everything from .17 Aclkey Hornet to .45/90 with it.
