Thread: Looking for a progressive press

Uplandstalker

I currently run two Lee Loadmasters loading several pistol and rifle calibres, including 357mag, 44mag 25-20wcf, .222 and .223 without any issues.

I have run Dillon presses in the past and while Dillons are nice they are also very expensive and like all progressive presses are not without their own issues.

The Loadmasters are very cost effective but also have their issues too, as do all progressive presses, but once you have them dialled in they do run very well.

Changing calibres usually takes only minutes and I can easily load several hundred rounds an hour without much effort.

Change parts for Loadmasters are very cost effective too and some change parts will cover multiple calibres.

I've found the powder dispensers very accurate and easy to use, especially when emptying the powder out after a loading session

You can also get automatic case and projectile feeders if you want to go the whole hog.

Being mechanically minded and methodical will help with the set up and maintenance of any progressive press.

I've found over the years that a solid bench mount that eliminates all press movement when cycling will also eliminate most of the issues encountered with any loading press both single stage and progressive.

Here's some links to Lee Loadmasters and a video forum outlining small improvements that can be made to make the Loadmaster press run more reliably.
