    You mentioned the Case Collator, but didn't list the case feeders. The collator is usually used with the feeders.

      I was watching an unboxing video for the Load-Master and I thought I saw the case feeder come with it.

      And Lee's website says, "Load-Master is equipped with Carbide dies (handgun cartridges), Auto Drum Powder Measure or Pro Auto-Disk Powder Measure and case feeder. "

      BUT, the Load-Master manual says, "The Lee 4 Tube Magazine Case Feeder and collator are highly desirable options for pistol cases."

        Oh, you are correct the case feeder came with the kit. Note that if you bought the .40 kit it came with the large case feeder. If you're also doing 9mm you'll need the small case feeder also. I remembered we had to buy the case feeder, I was thinking we bought both, but only had to buy the extra one.

          Thank you, I added the small case feeder for the 9mm.

          And I thought I saw someone else post that the digital scale will not work because it only does Grams instead of Grains, so I changed that as well.

            The 750 is fine. The description states "750 grain capacity, accurate to +/- 0.1 grain, measures in grain, gram carats and ounce"

              Swap the auto-disk for an Auto Drum powder measure, its literally the truth in powder throwers.
              Add a set of 4 drums so you can very easily change powders without having to adjust the drums.
              Add a hand primer, I like the Lee but they all work

              Otherwise not a bad start. My Load Master runs like a champ.
              Fear is the spare change that will keep you broke

              Call him run-like-hell-when-shtf-guy or dial-911-guy but NEVER call an unarmed man "Security".

                Thank you, I switched over to the 750. I had one that I erased from the original post that had my older digital scale that only did grams, oz.

                  If you are thinking of loading a lot then I'd go with the 100 hole case checker. It flips right onto an MTM box as well. Ben Stoeger's shop has them.

                    Not enough books, need many more books unless you're only going to reload standard sizes for common guns.

                    Like 7.61 Sharpe & Hart or even 300 Wby because you can make them for 1/3 retail
