Lee Loadmaster ALL MODS 20,000rd REVIEW 9mm 45acp

[MuayThaiJJ]

I hit the 20,000rd mark, here is the Lee Loadmaster in its most likely final incarnation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ra5Z29CSa7k

Just 20k?

I hit that after getting two 10k orders for 9mm... I bet you need more money to buy more scratch pads to take notes on how to fix things.

The Loadmaster is a great rube Goldberg designed progressive press. I am happy I have mine, but I am looking forward to using my Pro Chucker 5...

I will check out your vid later. Thanks for sharing!

I just started loading 2 years ago, didn't want to wait in line for ammo anymore.

So, about 10k a year or 1k a month of shooting/loading.

It has def been a tinkering project, fun but required patience to get it where it's at now.

Btw most of these mods are on thingiverse if u have a printer.
If not u can have a 3 party make for you.

[MuayThaiJJ]

Good to know! I don't have a 3D printer

Gosh..... you didn't get the memo?!?! Lee stuff is low-quality crap, and does not work at all. Luckily you didn't know, or you might not have pumped out 20k rounds.

[MuayThaiJJ]

LOL yeah I heard all that from the Dillon and RCBS lovers.

I have a Lee Pro 1000 that I bought new around 1997 or so. It literally has over 100k rounds loaded through it. Still pumping out .45acp on demand.

[MuayThaiJJ]

Hell yeah, any mods or is it running strong with stock parts?

[TomReloaded]

I wish it primed on the downstroke instead.

Either way, it's discontinued! The six pack pro is honestly going to butt heads with Dillon. $250 for it is a big upgrade.

Link for magnetic LED comes up empty for me. Thanks for the post.

No mods, other than mounting it on a Inline Fabrications mount. I've had to replace the center nylon bushing a time or two, but other than regular cleaning and maintenance it's been solid.
