    hornady ap v lee load master

    toying with the idea of getting a new press as i have 4 pistol calibers to load for, i wanted the hornady ap due to its quick caliber changes and decent priming system.
    then i see the load master,for similar money as the ap and one caliber i can get the load master 4 shell plates a bullet feeder and a case feeder as well as a new set of scales.i already have the pro 1000 which is ok,but changing caliber is a pain as is the powder feed.
    how much better is the load master than the pro 1000.
    is it even close to the hornady quality.

    not really interested in a dillon,to dear for what they are, and a m8 of mine who has a 650 reckons i would be better of with the hornady

    cheers dave

    Thumbs up

    Ran a Load Master back in the day - once it was adjusted to perfection, it ran like a train and pushed out '000s of rounds of 9mm & 45acp pistol ammunition.

    As with any progressive unit, if there was a failure to feed of ANY component, then you would have a few bodged rounds to clear before resuming production.

    Like most Lee kit, not the highest quality of construction, but hard to argue with the function and final product.

    For VFM - nothing else comes close.

    I ran Lee 1000 and loadmaster's in the pistol days loaded around 1500-2000 rnds per week for the club guns ,as with all progressive presses you have got to be on top of the game. One cock up, clear the press and start again. For the price you have a job to beat Lee IMO.
