I'd throw 'em all away except for the Lee Classics
If you can throw it this far, I'll take your Rockchucker.

single-stage RCBS II, bought it a garage sale for $2.00--I call it a progressive press, because I move from one stage to the other.

First was a Lee turret press, and I've added a couple Lee "C" presses, a Lee hand press, and a Midway/Franklin "O" press for the .45-120 Sharps. Anymore though, I mostly use a combination of the hand press to deprime, and the C press to reload.

I use a RCBS RockChucker II and a Lee hand press to decap and crimp. My setup for all cartridges.
Very simple......... I like simple.

An RCBS Ammo Master Auto currently in single stage mode. I just don't load the kind of volume to use the progressive feature.

I have a Dillon 550 mostly for 45 ACP, with conversion kits for 9mm, 40S&W, 38/357. I have a Redding T7 for rifle loads but haven't used it much yet. I used to use a Rockchucker for the rifle loads.

I also have a C-H Tool & Die, I think it's a 444 Pistol Champ that I use for 357 and 44 Magnum. It was my grandpa's and grandma gave it to me after he passed on.

I also have the Lee Hand Press I use away from the bench, mostly for resizing revolver brass.

I use my old Lyman single stage the most, bought it over 40 yrs ago when I was 16 yrs old and first started reloading. Had a Dillon 550 for a few years, was real nice for loading lots brass in a single setting. Sold it after my shooting volume dropped. Also, use a Lee hand press sometimes, nice and portable, but my arthritic hands sure pay a price when I use it much.
