Recently, I have fallen into an embarrassment of riches where reloading presses are concern. My first press was an old Lee Challenger press that made many great shooting rounds. Thanks to a great PM member I upgraded to a Redding UltraMag press and it is amazing. On an estate sale, I was able to purchase a Bonanza Co-Ax press that I only mounted to my bench recently and have little experience with. Another estate sale situation has me in the possession of an RCBS2 and a Rockchucker Supreme press.
My question is, given that the Lee press is a give-away item, and I only have room for so many presses on my bench, which would you keep and what would you sell? The heavier RCBS press or the lighter? Neither will equal the UltraMag for strenth nor the Co-Ax for precision, but I like the shorter lever throw for pistol ammo. Yet the Lee press could work for simple pistol ammo.
Any thoughts?
