Lee Reload Master
« on: September 24, 2014, 10:01:37 AM »
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 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.

+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

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
