    Thumbs down Lee Loadmaster: .45 Auto Rim?

    Ther doesn't seem to be a shellplate for Auto Rim for the Loadmaster; there is one (#13) for the Pro1000, which implies that the .45acp plate won't work with the rimmed cases. Anyone have any experience using the Loadmaster for .45 Auto Rim?

    You may have to call Lee I couldn't find it under LM in my catalog but I'm fairly sure they could fix you up. FB

    I never tried to run the AR case in my LM, I never loaded enough to want to. A hundred rounds a couple times a year on a SS worked for me. Call Lee.

    Seems to be a pattern emerging here. I'll give them a ring on Monday. Many thanks.

    When I used a Loadmaster they had a #13 shell holder in their catalog. It took several weeks on back order from Midway but it eventually showed up. Best I recall as it has been several years it worked just fine. I may still have it buried somewhere. I had a trade from this group or the Handloading forum a couple years ago for a die set. He never followed through, the die set never arrived and all I got was excuses. I eventually put all my Loadmaster stuff on Ebay and the #13 never got a single bid. If you need it, let me know and I'll see if I can find it. I'm currently having some issues with my health so it might take me a day or two to get back to you.

    Take a slow bell on this, but if you can locate it, I'm certainly in the market. I haven't been a member here long enough yet to qualify for use of the selling forum; if the shellplate shows up give me a shout via this thread and we'll work something out.
