I'm an inexperienced or lazy reloader. I use the four die, Lee set, for .45ACP. I seat, then crimp. No complaints from me.

WOW! I am astonished. Thanks for the instructions.

How difficult is it to change the clutch?
Lee is the only one I have ever used. Nary a problem. Ever.

I just have to respond to the OP. It is a misstatement to call all of the Lee lineup of reloading equipment junk, crap, or any other derogatory term. He is just ranting. Have done it myself, at...

I ordered a .380 ACP Conversion Kit, for a Square Deal press. I was told to expect a 24 week delay. Called Thursday, June 24th and was told too now expect a year, from the order date. Cancelled the...

I had the same problem with 45 Colt. I called Dillon and the tech suggested I add more flare to the case. He asked what bullet I was loading. I answered RNFP. He also suggested replacing the seating...

I started reloading with the Lee Classic Turret press. I've since had a Pro 1000, and sold it. Got a Hornady LNL and now have it stored in the closet. Works good, but more press than I need. Then I...

I bought a used 502 scale. I adjusted the leveling foot halfway, set the two poises to zero, and added no. 6 shot to the pan, until it was near zeroed. I made a minor adjustment to the foot. I then...

@TexasGrunt. Sorry about your priming problems. I bought a used Hornady LnL AP press and I've had no priming problems. To me, it's the cat's meow. I've only loaded for pistols. When I get into...

I'll jump in here because I can. Compared to most of you I'm a novice reloader. Just got into this hobby a few years ago. I read the ABC's of reloading and then I purchased a Lee Classic Turret kit....

I had a chance to pick up a used Hornady L-n-L press at a reasonable price. I've managed to load 50, 9mm rounds and then fired them. The dies were already set up. Hornady was good enough to send me...

Duh! I don't know why I had a brain fart? Well, I do. I don't want to make any mistakes when I order the LNL. Each caliber has a powder through die, with the case mouth expander. Sorry for the wasted...

The only press I've reloaded on is a Lee Classic Turret. The powder through die is different for each caliber.
I'm considering ordering a Hornady LNL and I don't understand how the powder is...

Your comment does nothing, concerning the OP question.

Ditto, ditto and ditto. Except, I have never loaded any rifle cartridges on my Classic Turret. Priming on the press is an extra added attraction for me. I rarely have had a priming problem.

I only reload for handguns. All of my reloading has been done on Lee equipment. Challenger, Classic Turret and a Pro 1000, with associated accessories. It's all worked for me.

Good luck with the Load Master. I have the Pro 1000, and I envy the 5 stations of the Load Master.

It seems to me that when purchasing Harbor Freight stuff, there are a few things to be aware of . . . 1) if it has an electrical cord and 2) the lower the price, the quicker it will fail.
