Press recommendation

Its all a matter of preference imo. Do u want fast, good,or both?i personally have a lee single stage, a lee classic turret 4 hole, a lyman spar-t from 1975, a lyman crusher 2, and a lee breech lock pro progressive.i dont like the progressive cause i just dont reload that much at one time on any one caliber. By the time i get that fool thing set up i couldve had it done on on one of the others. I reload all the ones u listed plus a bunch more so switch over is important to me as i dont have space for 5+ presses. So out of my experience and what ive heard from others my advice would be this: if money is not an issue then get the crusher 2 or rcbs rockchucker and the lee classic 4 hole press. I always advise at least one single stage press for small batches,fixing messups,or just decapping. The lee classic turret is made well and will crank out almost as much as a progressive without the worry of a double charge once u get proficient with it. Happy reloading!

You currently have 5 presses but you don't have room for 5 presses?

Where the brass trimer is I currently have this mounted.

Joeanybody: The only place I need more room is on the top of one of these.

Now if you notice the bullet feeders are set back and in no way do they come close to the handle as I crank out the rounds.
 
Envy...one of the 7 deadly sins. So thankful that I’m not Catholic right now! What an investment!
I’ll just slink back in front of my Hornady LNL Classic about now.
 
drain smith has learned at least one important lesson: It's way easier to make a progressive load flawlessly when you set one up for a single caliber.......the more progressives you have the more flawless operations can become. ;) Same goes for feeders.

Notice he has the means and room to get as many as he needs......a real advantage!:D More power to him!

I'm going to limit myself to my two.....and yet I do feel fortunate....I know others are limited to one. When I get through playing and learning the new Pro Chucker, I'll probably limit it to rifle and the Pro 2000 to pistol. When I quit, I will give one each to my grandsons.
