A lot of good points have been made here. Some off topic, but that's the way it works online! I use the Lee Loadmaster and got it with the case feeder and like it alot. I do not use the onboard primer system, currently I am hand priming all my cases. I found the onboard primer caused...
I am using an older RCBS hand held primer and like it alot. It lets me tell the feel of the primer pocket to identify if it needs to have more of the crimp

I will sometimes get a 1/2 charge. I think its because its doesn't completely reset. I had to remove the double charge disconnect because it broke and I'm waiting on one to come from Lee. I just wish there was better setup instructions for it!

I am using a Lee Loadmaster that I recently got, and while on my first attempt to reload I am finding at the end of the process some of the cases are mushroomed below the shoulders. I also find that after decap and resize some of the necks are rounded in so that a bullet cannot sit in it.

I just picked up the Lee Loadmaster on amazon for $238 with free shipping. Still working through the setup, and prepping cases as I go, but it seems to be a good little press for the money. My only con is that they don't make a bullet feeder for and caliber under .30 by Lee. I'm not gonna...
