The Load Master press could be one of the best with a few changes such as the primer feed/seating. The shell plates advancing system can be a real nightmare.
My solution for the primer problem is...

Go ahead and laugh at me if you like. My handgun of choice is my Kimber 1911 5" TLE for shots 50 yards or less.

So does spoonin with your bunkie [smilie=w:[smilie=w:

A lead pencil will work wonders on cleaning up the mold. I have done it several times.

I have lightly tapped the stopper to reseat in in the hole. Always worked for me.

All this monkeying around with the E scale/ check it against a beam scale. Then for crying out loud just use a beam scale abd be done with it.

How about just keeping your fingers out of the way?

Yeah, but part of the enjoyment is scrounging for the equipt. In fact you never really stop looking. You;ll always run across something that works little better than what you are currently using.

Yep, What he said!

Yep! What he said. I have done mine (Lachmiller) that way for for 40 years. That being said and the new nut idea does not work I would go with the set screw idea.
I trained a Lyman jr Press to...

I have used the lye and potassium nitrate and am quite pleased with the results.
I was told it makes a black finish, but I stopped the process when it reached a Smith like blue.

I guess my question would be; why fool with either one, unless you wanted trading material?
Just go ahead and get yourself a 1911, you'll problay end up with one anyway.

To adjust for light or heavy loads, remove the fore end cap, remove barrel, then remove the first ring. It will have instructions on it for which side goes up for light and down for heavy loads.

Well, I be darned. I had no idea.

Nobody has mentioned jeweler's rouge added to the media. Works extremely well as a dry polish when mineral spirits are added to the mix.

Hey, I have made a career of doing things the hard way. I finally got over that and realized I could get a lot more done by doing it simply.

That is brilliant.
I thought my idea of using a driveway sweeper was smart, but that has got it beat all to heck

Sweep the darn floor, Dude.

I have a Lachmiller lubesizer I've used for 40 years. It still works as good today as in 1971.

Always use a factory crip die with a 1911. I had the same problem with my Kimber, Remington, Taurus and Colt.
Check the maximum case lenght.
Maximum overall lenght 1.275.
1911's are like women...

I am an AGI grad and am more than pleased with Bob Dunlaps Vids. He taught me more information than I thought possible for my feeble brain to absorb.
His knowledge of firearms is amazing. I even had...

I didn't have a 7/8 X 14 tap, but I did have a 3/4 X 14 NPT . If you work with the 3/4 NPT tap it will work. My top plates will take standard dies. It's like .30 difference.

My Lee Loadmaster works, it works poorly but it works. Parts kept wearing out, the primer seater is a joke. Once I started hand priming the other problems went away. No more suprises with detonated...
