Took a hammer to my Lee loadmaster

Lesson learned. You get what you pay for. I will end up with a Dillon in the future. Questions about the Dillion. Is it worth getting the base plate to add the trays? And is it possible to add the auto shell loader to the 550? Maybe I should just go for the 650?

Holy crap - hammer or sledge hammer?

Claw hammer. Shouldn't have left it on the bench after doing some cabinet repairs.

I would say you were a touch frustrated!! Been there done that!

Feels great as it explodes into pieces and for about 30 seconds after. Then you say damn........

Exactly! With what I have been through since Friday, that is correct.

Sorry to read this. That Loadmaster, even balky/as-is, would have brought you a decent down payment on your next press (some of us are gluttons for punishment).

Good luck with the next press. Let us know what you get.

Lee just contacted me. If things work out, a new press and all the equipment I have for it will be up for grabs and I will be in the market for a Dillon.
