Amazing tool
My second Lee as my first was a fine working 1000 in cal45
9mm Works perfect with careful set up. You have to read directions tho and recheck the pics.
Added case collator and bullet feeder. Hollow base bullets won't work so they should be near flat base or flat as the heads get stuck on one anoth...

Very cool and good stuff
This is a very good deal must read and watch videos from lee to get set up right befor you even unbox . When properly set up this runs great you will need to get some small tools for reloading like calipers and case gauges and a scale the basic stuff . This is a great press dose everything you need to crank out them rounds .lee stands buy there products and is happy to help with any product problems .
Pros:
- Great price excellent product support from manufacturer
Cons:
- None
Best Used for:
- Fun time loading ammo
Would recommend: Yes
Great press
I was going to order this kit from somewhere else because it was cheaper... but I decided to stick with Optics Planet because I trust them and I know I will receive my order quick and damage free. Plus they offer free shipping and no other place is doing that right now.
Pros:
- quick
Cons:
- None
Best Used for:
- Reloading
Would recommend: Yes
BEST PRESS EVER MADE
I am a huge fan and returning customer of Optics Planet and was sad when I had to purchase the Lee Loadmaster 9mm kit from another place because even with the free shipping offered by Optics Planet I was able to buy this setup at $50.00 cheaper from another vendor.
Pros:
- Very fast
Cons:
- none yet
Best Used for:
- Every caliber
Would recommend: Yes
Exactly what I wanted
After long debates and much reading. I choose this press. There are many reviews saying it can be a pain and finicky. If you have any sense of mechanics you won’t have any trouble. Actually if you do have multiple issues it’s definitely more user error than machine. I will buy another compete loadmaster instead of just the shell plate and head. It’s worth it to me for .223. I wouldn’t load much other than pistol and plinking ammo in the progressive mode tho. Just me and my opinion, prolly cause I’m anal tho
Pros:
- Sturdy
- easy set up
- all required parts
Cons:
- Good luck finding one
Would recommend: Yes

This is NOT a pliug and play
Don't get m,e wrong I do like my Load master press, it took me several weeks and you tube videos on how to set this up to work. I have had it for three months now and I can load 200 rounds in about 45 minutes. I still haven't got the auto case feeder timed properly yet. I am a first time reloaded and I didn't want to load 50 rounds in a week with a signal press. I do recommend this press, for the money, I paid 300.00 for all of the kit. Take A LOT of time at first to set it up right. You will enjoy it much more.
Pros:
- GREAT PRICE
- Looks clean
- Loads fast
Cons:
- Hard to set up
- easy to use
- fun to work with
Would recommend: Yes

Good machine for the money
After a marathon week of loading on a Lee Classic Turret press, i decided the time had come to upgrade to a progressive. I had been researching them for quite a while, so I knew a blue press or the other red one would be better, but the funds just weren't available for one of those. Having used lee for years, I knew what I was getting into. I'm a tinkerer by nature, so I actually enjoyed setting this up.
There are a ton of videos and forum posts about the Loadmaster. People that take the time to set them up properly typically love them. First and foremost, sand (800 grit) and polish any parts that rub together. This alone will make a world of difference.
I have it set up for 9mm and .45acp, with a RCBS tube bullet feeder and the set-crimp die only (no FCD). I haven't had any issues not running the FCD. My only complaint now is that I run out of components too quickly!

Very dissatisfied
I have been using a Lee classic turret for a few years without a single problem (outside of some priming issues here and there). I decided to upgrade and get the LoadMaster. I spent a total of about 72 hours on it and still could not produce more than 4-5 bullets without something failing. The case feeder worked like a charm, but the engineering of the press itself is just too clunky. I broke the priming ram and finally returned it and got a Hornady Lock n Load. I have to say, Lee's instructions are a thousand times easier to follow, but once you're setup on the LnL, you cruise.
Pros:
- Price
Cons:
- poor design
Would recommend: No
Lee Loadmaster progressive press
Surprisingly I got this loader working great. It has many update from previous models. No problems at all. I have loaded about 1300 9mm and running flawless. I have it running smooth and power is very consistent with Bullseye. I wish it had more options to have custom loads with loading disks. For my loads I only have two options of loads 4.1 it comes out to and 4.6. Big difference in the two disk options. I have a load that I like at 4.4 gr. But I can't get that load on this press.
Would recommend: Yes

Loadmaster 9mm
I did a ton of research and knew what I was getting into with this press. Luckily I had a buddy who has been using one of these successfully for years. He convinced me to go for it and I'm glad I did. I put it together and took it apart twice, watched some videos, and after 2 days of tinkering I can drop a bullet every 4 or 5 seconds. You just really have to be careful and take your time setting your dies and your indexing. Probably not the top machine on the market but well worth it.
Pros: Value, almost everything you need
Cons: Tricky setup
