Chaps and chap -asses, where's the best place to get new lee 1000?
I've not got the money or space for a dillon,and I don't shoot much so a Lee 1000 is perf for me,I had a loadmaster and would not go there again...

Once set up properly (use the YouTube videos) both my Loadmasters run fine, I feed them with primed cases as I find the onboard priming system to be a pain.
I also prefer the Loadmaster over the 1000 as it has the extra 2 die positions, for the 300aac I use a case mouth expander, powder drop, bullet seater and factory crimp dies.

Just the Lee auto disks but with the upgrade to the Pro powder chamber with the elastometer wiper in it, don't use the variable charge bar it's useless for small amounts (pistol loads).

Classic Cast would be a better choice.

I would also say the cast classic, I started using one years ago as an interim until I found something better and it is still on the bench doing exactly what it is supposed to.
