Loadmaster ordered from Gander Mountain AGAIN!

[PTLaro]

So about 4weeks ago Gander Mountain had a promo, so I ordered a Lee Loadmaster. Three days later they send an email saying that they are out of stock and cancelled my order. I also lost out on the promo.

Today they had another promo and so I thought I would give it another try. Let's see what happens this time.

Here's a suggestion. Call up Dillon. They're special deal is the same every day of the year. The finest reloading equipment in the world with a true no BS lifetime warranty at a great price. 25 years later you'll still be cranking out ammo and you will have long forgotten the price.

Seems like everyone I know with a Dillion blue press on their bench has a Lee single stage press mounted next to it.
I've had my Lee anniversary kit for about 5 years now and it works great for me.

Hope you enjoy your new load master Op.

I don't think there is any argument that Dillon is a fine press and probable "better" quality, but the Lee Load Master at $214 shipped is in my budget and I believe it will get the job done for me.

I liken it to buying a Mercedes or a Ford. One is finer than the other but both get to where you are going.

My brother started with a Lee Turret and then bought a Dillon. He still uses his Lee and recommended I buy a Turret as well.

After I use it for a while, I can speak more to it's quality and if it is getting the job done for me.

Thanks

I have three dillons, a single stage Rockchucker ... and a lee loader single stage that came in a bundle with the load book. I leave a universal deprimer in it and that's it's job. The rockchuckers job is to swage out crimped primer pockets. Loading is done on the dillons. However, I have the Lee "bulge buster" that will probably go on the Lee press to un-glock .40 brass when I get around to loading that caliber.

Lee makes good stuff. Almost all my dies are Lee, and I have a ton of Lee accessories. It's good stuff, and really for a single stage press, they are simple so ANY single stage is up to the task. I've not used a Lee turret, but from what I hear the classic turret is the way to go for turrets.

Don't let "snobbery" or preference persuade you that Lee products aren't any good, they are.

I've not used their progressives so I don't know about them. I do know that my 550b, which I've had for 20 years, runs like a, uh, well oiled machine (when I oil it well). Every machine has it's quirks, once you learn them, it's no big deal.

Very well stated. Not all of us can afford the best (or perceived best), but we get where we want to go anyhow!
