I started my reloading experience with a brand new Lee Loadmaster several years ago. I found the learning curve to be huge, I was constantly having problems, I spent more time fixing problems than I did loading ammo, it never gave s consistent bullet seat, and was a general PITA, so I ended up selling it a long time ago. I went out and immediately bought the Lee Classic Turret and have been using it with pleasure for the last several years. Great press!
Since buying the LCT, I have moved to the country where I can shoot in my backyard. Now I'm finding that my reloads are drying up faster than I can replenish them and with my first child here, I have even less free time to spend behind a press handle so I'm looking at maybe going back to a progressive press, only for 9mm and 45acp. Those are my two high volume calibers.
Another Loadmaster is completely out of the question. Been there, done that. I'm considering the Hornady LNL but I know nothing about them. I also know Dillon has a huge following, but I also know nothing about them either except for their high price tags. I'm not sure I want to spend Dillon kind of money right now. I still plan on keeping the Classic Turret. Any advice would be very helpful.
