Interesting... I purchased a Lee Loadmaster in the early nineties. It took some tweaking, as all processes do. Result: I was producing 500 round of ammo a week to feed my kids' shooting habit. ...

Back in the day, I didn't have the luxury of a dedicated reloading bench. Everything was bolted to a 2x12 of appropriate length and c-clamped to the bench. UNTIL I got a progressive! Then, a...

Regarding the hopper: get the adapter for the older style hopper rather than the newer "powder bottle ready" hopper. I don't worry too much about what the measuring tube is at, as long as it throws...

Hey! It's not like none of us has been there! The SWMBO statement grabbed me and the "Farm stuff" sealed the deal... He's off the hook until next November....
That's why after buying a lead thermometer from them and seeing the Tel-Tru logo at the bottom, I haven't looked at their molds. I'm just getting back into casting after a number of years away (last...

Thanks for the feedback! I'm amazed at the little difference in cost between the MP and Lee molds. Additionally, the MP has two more cavities! I'm tempted to try one next payday (Uncle Sam's...
