hello everyone, just wanted to share my reload master that I bought, despite of of priming system and other related stuff to this press I did purchased it anyways. one thing I noticed, the shell plate is now updated compare to the old once, seems like it better to index now compare to some people having idexing issues on YouTube. I just need tweak more for better functionality.

Interesting.
I hope they fixed all the bugs by now.
By the way, xtreme bullets has a special free shipping deal till the end of this month.
Those 124 hollow pts would be about 95 per m. Landed.

I haven't tried the priming system yet. I will try tomorrow after i finalize all the set up and tweaks tonight

Gonna be following this thread. Gonna be picking up one of these soon, just gonna need a good base to get her secured on.

Where did you pick yours up from? I was looking on Amazon...lol!!!

I always load my primers by hand

I got mine from amazon. I did the free trial amazon prime and cancelled right away after I made the purchase. ordered Friday night came in Tuesday afternoon

OP updated includes some helpful tips

i still have my single just in case.
I use the lee priming tool, I dont like to use the press. I use a lee 1000
I prep all my cases and primer them.
so all i have to do is powder, Bullet, crimp for 9mm I can make 500-600 an hour to finish them.
-
I prep my 9mm brass too before reloading it. so maybe I will remove station 1
-
this is good to know!!!

+1 on this. I use my RCBS hand priming tool. It only takes a few minutes to prime. I prep all my cases ahead of time. Sometimes they sit for a month or two before I get around to reloading. I keep them in an air tight container with desiccant if I don't intend to reload them right away with primers and just air tight if without primer.
For the first time in my life I am pretty well caught up on my reloading. I have almost every case loaded.

I did load 100 round yesterday, so far no priming and indexing problem. only thing I noticed is I need to keep on eye of the primer tray, coz there are 4 primer left and it didn't seat on the case maybe not enough force to push it down and align the primer to the feeding ramp where the priming pin is located
-
Thank you for the review and updates. I have been looking into one of these.
-
What caliper you loading?
-
9mm only. I'm thinking of getting a 45 maybe next year
-
Right on!!! Are you priming by hand or using the loader?
-
I usually prime it using my single press. but I did those 100 rounds using my LM press to see how's the priming system
-
I found this online.. I would like to copy it or make similar mechanic

I got tired of figuring out. so I decided to drill a hole onto the press and add 5/16 bolt x 4 inches and secured it with 2 nuts. at least the chain or spring is not in my way to place the bullet on station 4
