hokey,
No it's not my first press, I have old CH that I have been using for many years,
I also have a Lee Classic Cast single stage and a LCT which I really like.
But no Loadmaster, too much negitive input.
Thanks,Floyd
hope that helps. I mean if you're careful enough and know what you're doing I'm sure it wouldn't be too difficult. Especially since you've already got plenty of experience under your belt.
The basic truth about the Loadmaster is that you do have to fine tune it a little after you get it. It may not crank out 100's of rounds straight out of the box but it will get the job done once you get it going well. when I started reloading awhile back, I bought the Anniversary kit and the Loadmaster at the same time. Thanks to websites like this and the Loadmaster video sites, I had it up and running easily withing the day. If you're not technically or mechanically inclined then the Loadmaster may not be for those types. If you're comfortable bending things and using a wrench and screw driver then you, ike many others of us would have no problems.
Some people just like the Blue Cool Aid. Others like the Green stuff, still others prefer a different Red kit. I like them all, but my finances and skill level are so that I do well with the cheaper stuff and it handles what I need to do, when I need to do it. I have no real complaints with the Lee stuff.
I like all the equipment makers, but I don't trust any of the progressive presses to prime. I size and prime separately. I let the machines bell cases & throw powder charges (only ball or ball-like powders), then seat bullets, final crimp.
People that insist on high rounds per hour are likely to not pay enough attention to make sure there is a powder charge, and there is not a double powder charge. Rig a light to shine into the case or on a hat brim and look at every powder charge, and concentrate on moving the handle all the way down, then all the way up. Do not allow yourself to be distracted.
If your shooting pistol rounds the Loadmaster works great but i'm not a fan of the case feeder, it works well for me and I hit the target every time. If your shooting rifle rounds it works fair but a lee O frame or turret will work better. If your a rifle shooting tack driver that gets depressed when the group exceeds .000001" maybe you should not buy a Lee Loader.
The reason you hear many loadmaster complaints is because the beginners not wanting to spend a fortune all buy them along side of the experienced loaders. Therefor when they need to set them up most won't ask humbly for help they complain and look for the answers between the lines. An experienced loader can run a loadmaster flawlessly and have a perfect loaded round.
If Dillon Progressive loaders went on sale tomorrow for $99 complete and every beginner bought one then soon the questions and complaints would start barreling in because they are not sure of how to set them up.
