Hi from Ohio

Post by DB43725 »

I started reloading in 1965 on a single stage press 38 357mag and some rifle rounds. Loaded for 4 years then got abscessed with shotgun shooting sports. So then sometime in the 90s started loading rifle rounds again. Went back to loading shotgun shells again till about 2015 I started acquiring some handguns. Reason being my health I was not able to go to the shoots anymore but I could shoot my handguns off the porch. Then I decided I needed a Progressive press. Since I always have a green machine I decided to get one of theirs ,well big mistake. So I then bought a Lee Loadmaster that was not a piece of cake but with a little messing around got it working except the priming operation. Just decided to hand prime. I set it up to load 40s&w. I then bought a 357mag pistol and a winchester lever action so got another Loadmaster. Then for some unknown reason decided I would like a 44mag in a lever action. I then decided I would try the pro 4000.That way I could just leave them set up for each calabur. Then one day their was an online auction not far from me and they were selling a man's estate and they just kinda throwed items in a box an listed it that way. Well at the time primers were getting very hard to get and I zoomed the pictures in a I was sure there were a couple of thousand primers in that lot.But there was also a red press. Turned out to be a Loadmaster. It was an older one but after I cleaned it up it worked like new.So I set it up for 9mm. Now I had another brain fart about a month ago. Decided I wanted a pro 6000 because I wanted to prime on the press and low and behold it works. Had a few issues but for the most part it was not that bad.

Welcome aboard! My experience has been that you can always pay more for reloading equipment but the Lee stuff is usually more innovative and simpler to use.
