LEe Loadmaster - 9MM Review

[mallardsx2]

I dont normally do reviews because most everything I buy is junk for some reason....

I am fairly new to reloading pistol ammo.

If anyone is looking for a do-it-all press for 9mm or .223 I honestly can not recommend this press more. There are some negative reviews about this press but honestly I cant find a downside to it yet...and I can find the bad in about anything...lol

I love it.

Its simple
Its effective
Its affordable
It cranks out a PILE of ammo in a hurry.

I have never owned a progressive pistol press but I promise you this one is the cats meow for the cash.

I've been reloading for 60+ years and have seen lots of stuff come and go....some good, lots not so good. For years Lee has made some pretty good stuff. Dillon and RCBS also. The only thing with progressives is keeping them loaded up with components...LOL!

They are cheap for sure. But they appear to be well built. The only problem I had was when I ran it out of primers and made a bunch of dud shells lol You really have to keep an eye on it because you reload 100 shells VERY fast with this press.

I should mention that I am reloading a box of 50 9mm shells for 1.75'ish/box (50 ct)

Like CC said in a previous thread. Buying in bulk really cuts down on costs.

I have a lee-load-all II 12 shotgun shell reloader (Paid 30$ for it new from cabelas many years ago) that I have literally reloaded THOUSANDS o0f shells on over the years. I will use it for specialty 3" buckshot shells.
