Lee Loadmaster progressive press

[SixPointEight]

What are the significant differences between the Load Master and Pro 1000?

From reading the literature- seems the perform similar functions and the only difference is a small amount of cash.

The loadmaster accommodates more calibers. The lee pro is primarily a pistol machine, which will load up to .223 rifle rounds.

As for single stage, I have Lee, Redding, and RCBS. All my progressives are Blue.
That said, my friend handloads with a loadmaster and loves the heck out of it. I have made a run of his ammo loading 20-30 rounds of 45ACP to feel it out and it functioned flawlessly.
He had to dial it in a bit and says he needs to tune it once in a while but other than that, it has treated him great. I will say this, the loadmaster is beefy/burly and is a nice press. In all, I think my friend has at least 10K rounds through it just in 45ACP alone.

While my videos are actually on the Pro 1000, I wish I could take credit for the Loadmaster ones! They are very well done and highly recommended. Those who do choose a Loadmaster would be well advised to check them out.

Yeah the main use I found for yours, because I was looking at a loadmaster, was convincing me that all the people that vehemently say LEE is crap and put together poorly, are wrong. Also helped with die setup.

I have a Loadmaster and Love it. I agree with what others have said here regarding the priming system. It may take you a little while to get used to running it, but it will work great for you. I do use the case feeder for resizing 223, but choose to not use it for loading the ammo stage. To make the 223 case feeder work better I followed the improvement suggestions here:
