One thing I really like about your channel is that although you have access or own a lot of presses, you are not a "press snob." You give equal time and attention to presses that someone like myself who loads for hobby and not a ton of ammo will likely buy as to the big progressive presses. Thank you.

I've used the Pro1000 since late 2016, and (with simple but consistent regular maintenance) it has worked perfectly for over 39,000 rounds of exclusively 9mm - an average of about 7,500 per year. The press is still working quite well, and I'm very pleased!

I’m almost 12 yrs and already have a setup with this press thanks Gavin so much for your help in getting me into reloading

Your reloading videos are by far the best thought out, well produced and informative I have ever seen. I am always so happy to get the email notification that you just posted up a new video. Thank you!

I’ve come to really love the loadmaster. The case feeder and bullet feeder allows the reloader to really pay attention to the powder charge and get a great rhythm. Also saves a ton of time.

I just received my Loadmaster in the mail last week, in the process of building work bench for it now.... cant wait the get started!!!!

How's the press been?

Hey Gavin, just in time! I just unboxed my new Loadmaster and can't wait to get it rigged up and producing. Added the light and I can see! Thanks for all your hard work on these videos. Keep them coming.

I just got my load master set up. I haven't even loaded my first rounds with it quite yet but I have been reloading single stage for close to 20 years. I am stoked to finally get into the progressive loading scene.

What great timing I just got mine in 9 mm. Just finished building my table and am applying poly to it today. Perfect timing Gavin!

So I just got this press from my wife for Christmas...what a great gift! I've watched this video a few times and will refer back often since I'm a complete and total newb to reloading. Great content here...THANK YOU for keeping it simple for people like me that need all the help we can get. Now all I need is a local store that actually has primer, powder and projectiles for a decent price......pray for me. Thanks again Gavin!

I've had a Lee Load Master since about 1991. Love it! I've used the RCBS single stage and prefer the Lee Load Master over a single stage EVERY DAY!

I love my LoadMaster, I've have been cranking out 45acp on it sense 2013. Not one issue with it period. I was lucky, I got the new revised primer system with mine. With the money I saved on the LM. I bought a Forester Co-Ax to load all my rifle bullets. I love the videos man, keep them coming.

I purchased a Lee Loadmaster and a Pro 1000 because Midway USA had a great sale. Your videos have helped me very much. I am new to reloading, and your videos are much more helpful than the owner's manual.

Thanks for the help , I followed your instructions step by step and set my loadmaster up first time. I’m a press junky and have two lees a Dillon a Lyman co ax and a Lee single stage breech lock. Your videos are helpful for sure.!

I have a Lee Loadmaster with over 50,000 rounds of 9MM; 40 S&W; 45 ACP and 223 through it. I have found that the key to making it run is keeping it well maintained and properly adjusted. Running hundreds of rounds per session the one essential upgrade is the Inline Fabrication Roller Handle conversion. I also upgraded to the Lee Auto Drum Power Measure. I can't believe the press still comes with the Disc system.

just got mine yesterday and couldnt be happier, knocked out around 1000 rounds so far and its running smooth.

My Lee load master is arriving in the mail today. Pretty excited to get started.

I've had this press for about 5 years. The thing I have found I have to watch the most is the powder charge. I set mine up using all 5 stations. The charge can vary when all 5 stations are active. Don't check your charges too early. I believe its from the shell plate flexing/tilting slightly when stations 4 and 5 are empty. Love the UFO light.

Loved this video. I have not started reloading yet but have picked the Lee Loadmaster as the press I will start with. I have about 3000 brass 9mm cases that have been cleaned and hand deprimed so this is the exact press I will be purchasing. I will later get die sets for 380, 45, 223 and 35 Remington. I’m really looking forward to seeing the upcoming videos!!!!! Thank you for all the work and information you share!!!

Amazing loader will never change equipment

Good video. Completely agree on the starting with a progressive if your somewhat mechanically inclined. I tried a single stage and hated it because of how slow it was. Used a buddy’s Dillon 650 and loved it. Ended up getting a hornady LNL AP and had that press for a while, now I’m running a Dillon 750. Love the progressives. I also have a Redding T7 for smaller loading sessions

Such a satisfying sound when he gets into rhythm

Great video, I am new to reloading and had several questions about my Load Master Press I got. After watching your video you cleared things up for me. Much appreciated.

Thanks for the clear and fair review of this Lee press. I have been reloading on a Lee single stage press for the last 10 years. Currently checking into getting a progressive press to allow me to increase the volume of ammo that I reload. I am doing all 5 calibers that I shoot ranging from 9mm to 300 WM. Since I've been reloading on the Lee single stage all this time, I naturally have all of the Lee dies which together is a significant investment. So when I look at going with a Dillion Precision press, I am thinking 'but I probably need to buy Dillion dies'. No doubt the Lee Load Master progressive press would be a great upgrade for me and a cost efficient one too.

I've been running a loadmaster for 8 years. Its a good press once you set it up properly. I pretty exclusively load 9mm for uspsa on mine. My major tip is to MAKE SURE you have it mounted very solid. Even the way Gavin had it, almost too much rocking back and forth. If it rocks around you will flip/tip primers. Other than that, as with any progressive press, you can load a ton of ammo, or a ton of mistakes in record time. So keep an eye on things.

I've been using a Loadmaster for 2 years for 9mm, 45acp, 38/357, .223. I modded a 6s shellplate for 9mm (big improvement). I decap, size, clean (wet pins) and prime off press on my Mec. I have never primed on this press because I used the pin method. I polished all my shell plates. I load 22-250 & 308 on the Mec. I LOVE this press. I started reloading in 1990 on a 550b (just pistol). I feel that the loadmaster is a press that needs fine tuning and that is a plus for me. I enjoy reloading as much as shooting! My favorite dies are Lee. I also appreciate your treatment of Lee. My wife wanted me to get a 650 but I took a chance on Lee and had the the money I saved for toolheads, dies, and more equipment.

Great info, I am upgrading from a Lee Classic turret press to this once available. Thanks for the detailed press and lighting details/demo.

Thankful to have found this channel, as I have this same press on it's way as I type. Great info, and makes me much more confident in my purchase.

Your videos have fact filled no fluff content. I have wanted to reload for decades and with ammo shortages and covid now is a good time. I like the LEE line of reloaders. The classic four hole or the pro 1000, I was leaning towards, but having seen the loadmaster progressive, i a, back to square one. Thanks again

Just bought my Loadmaster today because of your videos, thank you for the great videos

your expertise of the product is untouchable. awesome delivery of your video production. i have used LEE products for 25 years NEVER had a problem. I'm sure there are others, that cost much more, but in the end you still just have a LOADED BOOLIT.

Just received word from Brownells that the Loadmaster press I purchased back in early November 2020 has arrived (July 2021). Talk about needing to have patience!!! But I am excited to get the loadmaster mounted to the bench. I started loading a few years back with a single stage, then moved up to a turret, and finally I will be able to load with the Progressive. Great channel! In fact your channel is the reason I chose the Loadmaster. I really enjoy watching your vids and cant wait to start cranking out the ammo.

Love mine. Load 9mm, 223, 308, 30-06. Just swap the heads and shell plate. I did replace the chain with a spring for a trouble free reset of the powder measure.

Been using my lee classic turret but have bought a lee loadmaster used and it’s been sitting boxed up in my workshop, felt daunted with all the parts .. gonna take it out and get some 9mm going- thx for making that set up video simple and easy to follow.. truly enjoy you using all the presses and different brands- keep it up man.

Thank you! My wife and I have loaded thousands of rounds with our loadmaster and your videos!

Just got my loadmaster and UFO light. I want to get this setup for dedicated 9mm reloading. Thanks for the light recommendation.

I have a Lee single stage reloader. Used it for years, but after using it last week, I still have a sore muscle going from my neck to my shoulder blade from all the repeated reaching and my neck feels stiff. I considered getting a more advanced reloader but I couldn't figure out how to use one until I watched your video. Thank you sir!

Glad to see you using lee thank you sir lee is the working mans friend .

Love your videos, they're so great!! I have a Loadmaster shipping now from River Ridge Enterprises. They had the best deal I could find.

Great video, I started out reloading on the Lee progressive press with 9mm. Great value and easy to add other sizes. The only problem I had was with the primer feeding system, I finally gave up and hand prime all my cases. I still think it's a great press though and I highly recommend it.

I've been running a Loadmaster for a year or so. I understand there were some issues with earlier iterations of the priming system, but mine came with the same one shown in your video and between it and using the sizing die in the priming station I have no issues priming on the press. As a rule I have to bump up the disc size on the Autodisc. The reference list seems to be a little light for 9mm charges in my experience. The issues I've had have all been minor and a result of something I could have done a little better. The biggest thing to remember with this press: If you think you're smarter than the folks who wrote the manual on it, you're going to have trouble and end up disliking it. Follow the instructions as written and you'll be fine. I strip it down and clean it every 3,000 rounds or so. I'll be getting that light. The Loadmaster is economical and reliable. Thanks for the video!

Nicely done young man. Could've maybe touched on installing the priming system and the adjustment bolt.

I just setup my new loadmaster this morning! Shoulda waited to get the top tips!

Just ordered a lee load master . Thanks for the demo. Will advise.

I bought this press based on the older videos. I’m glad he did a new unboxing vid. He forgot to mention that when you buy it, it comes caliber specific and doesn’t come with the other priming setup (9mm comes with the small primer system only. )

I really enjoyed this video. I bought my Loadmaster about 18 months ago when I moved from Florida to Texas, but now I've decided to go ahead and set it up as I still had a few more boxes to open from our move with all my reloading stuff. I built a nice reloading table as soon as we arrived and installed an Inline Fabrication Ultramont. I finally was able to do some 6.5CM reloading these past few weeks (hunkered down due to COVID) using my old LEE single-stage press, but I want to start using the Loadmaster now that I saw this video. I ordered mine with 45ACP accessories. It's a contraption of things, including the UFO lights and the bullet feeder. I'm looking forward to start cranking rounds pretty soon. I followed your step of using a universal decapping die on station #1 as well as a crimping die on station #5.

Just starting out getting as much info as I can before purchasing great video very informative thanks ken

I am looking into starting reloading (buying a 45ACP) your channel is a great resource, thank you.

This will be my next press !!

Hi Gavin I really appreciate and enjoy your channel have found allot of useful info from here, thank you . I have two Loadmaster's A Classic Turret and a Lee Challenger , it all started with the challenger 20 years ago progressed to the 1st Loadmaster for 9mmP 4years ago , then 1 year ago I got another for my 5,56/223 and the lee classic Turret for my 308, the challenger is now only a de-priming/priming station prior to wet tumbling my cases. I had issues with the priming system on the Loadmaster so I removed the system on both and adapted my case prep routine , I like to wet tumble all my brass and de-prime all cases prior to tumbling so as to get the primer pocket clean, I pack them in a bin for each cartridge caliber named "Dirty Brass" when I have time and enough cases I wet tumble and once dried they go to "ready to Prime" bin on the rifle cases I also take the time to then check OAL etc prior to dumping in the ready to prime Bin, Priming is done on either the Challenger or Classic Turret using the safety Prime fitted to both presses, after priming they go to a ready to load bin from where I feed the Loadmasters case tubes. The 9mmP LM has a bullet feeder which works ok as long as you refill before the qty gets to low or bullets tend to fall out on the last 3 or so in the system keep it topped causes less drops and store the LM with the Ram raised to avoid tension on the Bullet feeder arm the plastic wil last longer. Overall I love my Presses and they work well and my shots are as good as any other persons on the range so I am happy. Keeping them clean and the case plate on the 223 especially as a grain of powder that may fall on the plate will cause enough deflection on the case going up into the powder station on the 223, I noticed this to cause powder to mess presumably because the cartridge doesn't make flush contact with the riser die, so brush the base plate whenever you see powder laying around I do it every 100 loads just to avoid stoppages and serious spills. I like my Lee presses, I don't see any reason why I would change to the more expensive brands they serve my needs. Be safe and thanks again for A very informative channel,

Patiently waiting for that Lee Pro 4000 video!

Thank you a very informative video. I'm thinking of getting this press and this video makes it look very easy to run.

Wow! You are loading almost exactly what I load on my Lee Turret. I have 4.2gr CFE PIstol with 147gr Berry's Bulletts, but I use CCI Primers and range brass.

I ve using this press for the last 6 months reloading 9mm, 45 acp, 300 blackout and .223. i’m using the minibulletfeder and it works great once you have the press properly setup. I’m using dedicated tool heads for each caliber including the auto disk powder measures that are extremely precise and repeatable ( 1/100 of a grain difference checked with a high precision Mettler-Toledo scale). The only issue happens with .223 when going from station 4 bulletfeeder to station 5 seating and crimping die, the stroke is to violent sometimes that the bullet flies away, even I’m flaring the cases. Overall it is a great press for the money and you can get reasonably high volumes per hour.

been loading on a loadmaster for 20 years . 9/40 . one thing i had to fix was the wooden ball would give me a blister if i loaded on it for a big amount at once. i fixed that by putting an old sock over the ball . now i can load 1k at a sitting without worry . the newest primer system is loads better than the old one with the little arm sticking out. i have probably loaded 300k on my loadmaster over the years

I am very close to divorcing my Loadmaster after suffering an ongoing problem with the primer feed system. I lost total confidence in the system and now pre prime my brass before running it through the press. Perhaps this video will rekindle the spark in my relationship with it. I will start from scratch and set it up again as if I just unpacked it. Thanks for posting!!

have been running 3 load masters for over 20 years. very pleased with their customer help ,products,,and warranty program...sure Dillon are better but they do the same job at far more money...and they end up using the lee factory crimp die best one one the market...try one you will be amazed at the way it makes your cases fit. no bulges...with perfect crimps. have loaded from 32. to 3. 45s. colt acp and auto rim....and some rifle on them. oh and all the other presses have that primer problem that everyone complains about.

The biggest mistake people make with the loadmaster is mount it on a flimsy bench and then complain when they can't figure out why it won't run smoothly. I had a Loadmaster and it ran fine. I just did not care for the priming system, so I sold it and moved on to a different press.

I am running the pro1000 for 5 years now. Would love to upgrade to the loadmaster. I am loading 9mm. Thanks for a great channel and excellent content.

I run a loadmaster, and after a decent amount of tweak time, i find it to be a very reliable press, especially for the price.

I have owned a Loadmaster for about 15 years. It has always had issues crushing, installing upside down, sideways and missing primers. I have watched numerous videos on how to remedy this. I have replaced components, tweaked this and that, to no avail. I just prime the cases in a different operation and then load on the Loadmaster. The case feed mechanism has always had issues as well. The slider on the square rod binds and causes it to flex. The toggle that pushes the case to the shell plate would short load and cause a case to crush against the press frame. I totally reworked the system to rigid mount the square rod and made a detent for the toggle to eliminate the short load problem. Since doing this, the case feeder mechanism works better than it ever did in the factory configuration. I have loaded thousands of rounds of handgun calibers on this press over the years. I have never been comfortable loading rifle rounds with this press. Am waiting in ernest to see your review of the new Breech Lock Pro 4000. Thanks for sharing.

I bought a Loadmaster for 44mag in 1997. I bought another Loadmaster for 40S&W somewhere around 2004. I am lazy I didn't want to change the primer feed from large to small. Right now I am set up for 9mm, 40S&W, 357mag, 45ACP, 45LC, and 44mag. I have loaded many thousands of rounds through these presses. They are not perfect they have their quirks. I like the presses and think they do a very good job. I would recommend them to anyone wanting to step up to a progressive.

Excellent video. Just ordered my load master. I have a hornady LNL ap press now and it can be a little finicky. It took time to get it adjusted to run good. I'm hoping that the LM will be easier to set up and run. You make it look easy.

I resumed reloading after a break of many years. I decided to treat myself to a new press, the old, old Lyman Spartan with Herters dies still works, but.... I looked at the loadmaster, but retired, I have more time than money, so I drew the line at the relatively new Lee value turret. This I've found to be an excellent press for pistol and a great value. I got the kit for their auto drum measure, but prefer a cheap electronic scale which is much faster than their safety scale. This setup is 10 times faster than the old single station press and unless you compete, turns out all the ammo I can afford to shoot😉.

I think your channel is great, and I truly appreciate all the info. I just wonder what it must be like to have access to all these presses. I have picked up reloading as a hobby since my disability, but I truly enjoy seeing you use all this equipment. Maybe one day I will get a loadmaster. I would like to get one or a lee turret press. Keep up the great work Gavin. I love your mounting system on the bench. I truly appreciate Lee because they make stuff which is within the reach of the common man!

Dude this was so awesome for a noob like me. Thanks so much!

I have enjoyed my Loadmaster. I had never reloaded before until I bought mine used. There are times it can be finicky. I think it is important to set it up step by step. Without dies make sure the shell plate is advancing properly. Then set up the dies properly, there are a lot of good videos on KZread (gunblue490) videos are great. Start out with one cartridge at a time to learn and understand how each stage works. Press needs to be mounted very firmly to prevent primers from being misaligned when seating. BE PATIENT AND STUDY!

I love my lee load master its worth its weight in gold the only thing that I see that could be improved would be the way it seats primers

Love it Gavin! I thoroughly considered the load master, but decided to go with the LnL AP. I've had it set up for a couple weeks and am able to make 400-500 rounds an hour. Running a mr. Bullet feeder and a 3D printed case feeder lol. Works great!

Thank you.Very helpful.

got mine a few weeks back in .223, unfortunately not the carbide dies with it, had one many years ago, stopped reloading but back into it, got this as a second press. Works great and budget friendly. Paid a little under $200 for everything and actually came with the auto drum not the disc.

Excellent tutorial

I bought one of these back in 2009. Some days it would work, then other days it would chew up priming parts and even broke the carrier. I learned to load at least a week before I had to shoot because there was a good chance something was going to break, or go wrong. Like many others, I started priming separately (off the press). With .223 and RCBS SB dies, I could not size .223s. The only way would be to grind the bottom of the dies (had 3 different dies). The shell plates were too thick. Cases would not sit flush in a gauge, about 1 in 10 would jam up an AR. That was it. My wife hates guns, and didnt like me doing this. Even she said one day, "Honey, just get a Dillon". With the loadmaster, I couldnt get a .223 to sit flush no matter how hard I tried (broke the press trying). I was so happy when I used the same die on the 650 and for the very first time, the case dropped below flush on the gauge. Also, I could finally prime with the press. With that said, it looks like they did make some improvements.

I love my loadmaster. I use it for .40, .38 special, and .223

I received my loadmaster last week to reload 9mm . It all set up and ready to go. But... now trying to get primers for it and bullets. Shells are un primed and clean . I do have a friend come Over to do final adjustments so I don’t blow my self up lol . Thank you for the video

I run 2 load masters 9mm and 45 cap both with bullet feeders love them

I'm looking at getting a Load master very soon. I bought the Lee Classic Turret press on 2013 while in Afghanistan, knowing that when I came home I'd be a broke college student but still wanted to shoot. It was the best decision I ever made! I reloaded around 50k rounds since then. I'm not going to say I saved any money but I didn't shoot for cheaper and shot much more. I've been looking at the Dillon, RCBS, and Hornady progressive presses but the process always scare me off. That plus Lee, although the press I have now is not the most accurate each pull off the handle, it still works and they have earned my business. I recently purchased the Hornady bullet feeder does for 9mm and .45ACP and I'm kicking myself for not doing that years ago. I think that with those does and the case feeder that comes with the Loadmaster, I could get cooking on making some ammo. Knowing that this and shooting are my only two hobbies I frequently participate in, that I want to move up from the Classic Turret Press, and that I'm on a budget (8th kid coming in December), would the Loadmaster be sufficient and make me happy? Have you used the Classic Turret Press and if so, how do they compare? Thank you and I love watching your videos!

If you are happy with 4-500 per hour the LM will make you happy. Richard Lee said 500+ per caliber per week of you want a progressive. Many buy a progressive as a time machine and leave it set up for a caliber until they have made thousands of rounds.

Glad I found your channel! May have more free time soon and want to start reloading to satisfy my weekly range visits. I have to say I am a little intimidated, but I’m kinda handy and should be able to figure it out

I’ve run a LoadMaster for a few years, and I always had problems with the priming system and the case holder advance ram. I still use it quite a bit, mostly for 9mm and 223, but I’ve had to go back to priming by hand, just so I can be sure that each case is primed correctly

Yip, I do the same. Prime all my cases on single stage and then fill the case tubes on Loadmaster. Wasted so many primers by crushing them or getting stuck under the plate and causing more primers to fall into the ram. My setup and process still fast enough and completed rounds are consistent and costed me 1/3 of the price compared to Big Blue.

Got one after watching your video. That was no easy task because they were sold out every where! But managed to find a brand new one a person was selling on Facebook. Wasn't the caliber I was needing but already had dies and ordered a plate. Now waiting for a side and riser to come in before I can start. But your video helped me be lazy and set it up 😂. Thanks for the informative instructions on set up! Mine did take some more adjustments than you showed but I got it figured out and running smooth now. Had to adjust the entire ram. It was about an inch off and wouldn't index.

I have a Loadmaster and love it. I have loaded thousands of rounds.

Honestly think this is the best value for money "pistol calibre" progressive press! Love loading 9mm on it. Have also installed the bullet feeder which works great! For some reason I battled with loading .223 on it might have been user error!

Sorry to say a whole year has passed and not a single round reloaded yet. Procrastination? Maybe. Too many 'honey do' projects to go still. I ordered mine for 45 ACP. As prices dropped in the las couple of years I bought tons of 9mm so I figured 45 ACP was the way to go. By the way... that huge piston was hard to move initially, but now it is moving a lot better with a bit of lubrication and stroking it now and then.

Great video.
