I've got a new Loadmaster coming. Had one years ago, life's happenings required selling.
My previous LM ran flawlessly, loading thousands of .38 Spl.
The one that I have coming is the 9mm kit and loading primarily lead (my cast or purchase swaged).
My question is this: Is there any potential issue or problem with installing the Lyman M die in the priming location?

You would have to hand prime and also resize separately first.

What GG said. Or, why not size and deprime off the press and place the M die at station one? Then you could prime on the press. If you do something at station two other than prime, remove the parts below the shell plate and the feeder.GasGuzzler wrote:You would have to hand prime and also resize separately first.

You could try the Lee universal expanding die it seemed to do a better job for me than the regular powder through die. Has a couple different type expanders. Don't remember if I used it with the 9mm or not but did with the 45acp. Worked O.K. I have it packed away somewhere not reloading at this time.
