Post up what issues you are having and maybe I can help...

Thank you. I was actually planning on pm'ing you to see if I can show you my set up sometime. I've seen your posts on leeloader.

It's brand new, I've never loaded on it yet. I'm sure I'm not short stroking it, the indexing rod gets stuck and locks up my shell plate do that it can't move.

After seeing this post I'm torn between the lee classic turret and this. I am looking to get into reloading and havnt picked up a press yet. Which out of these 2 would be a better buy?

[Tunaman 549]

I say get the turret for your first one and then when you are comfortable with the whole process move up to a progressive.

Or don't use your case feeder on the Loadmaster until you are fully comfortable with the press. That way you put in one case, carefully watch it go all around and see that there are no problems, then you load the next one.

Where are you located?  I would be happy to try and help you out...

Thank you TM, I spoke to Peter from Lee today, and they are sending me a new primer pin and primer trough assembly. Once I have that and the double disk kit I should be up and running !

So basically the only real difference between the two is that one will autoload the casing into the press and one doesn't?

The Loadmaster has auto-indexing.

Ok thanks for the responses!   I figure that the load master can do more than the turret press and when not using all functions of the load master it will work the same as the turret press.  Kinda seems like a no brainier.  Load master seems like the way to go.  Gonna buy one this weekend!  Thanks guys

crap  just checked the link and looks like i missed the boat for the 45 acp

[Tunaman 549]

for 185 just buy anyone they have and sell the dies on ebay and get the ones you need for about 25 bucks a set.

Actually, I'm happy I didn't place the order.  After reading reviews of this company I feel like its a scam.  There are tons of reviews saying the product was never shipped and they don't answer their phone.  The only good reviews seemed as if someone who was affiliated with the company wrote them to offset the bad reviews.  Why do they need all my personal information and a copy of my firearms id just to create an account with them.  Has anyone had any successful dealings with them?  I am only buying a press  there is no need to retrieve all my personal information for a press.  Am i wrong?

Which company???

[Tunaman 549]

Wideners?  I deal with them all the time.  100% A+.   Press was here in 3 days...

Unfortunately if you google them there are just too many bad reviews to trust that it would be a wise decision to order from them.  

[djg0770 481]

I have ordered from Wideners multiple times.  No issues to speak of.

[Heavyopp 167]

I've used Wideners too -- No issues

 

I do not remember giving them info that was out of the ordinary -- nothing more than I would give Amazon...

After doing some research I was wrong they only want a copy of your I'd if your getting ammo, primers, powder or firearms
