So I am looking to dive back into reloading when the market eventually, ahem hopefully, settles down a bit.
To provide some background I’m not new to reloading but I am new to “volume” loading. Previously I loaded for precision rifle shooting on a single stage press. And with that came all of the OCD accessories including precision mic, micrometers, bullet comparator, etc. I previously was setup with an RCBS case prep station and Hornady Lock n Load powder station. About 6 years ago I decided to get out of that section of shooting to focus on handguns and all of it was moved on.
Right now I am taking some time to try and make an informed decision on how I want to approach my next setup. My goal is to be able to load high volumes of 45 Auto and 38 Special as well as smaller volumes of hard cast 44 magnum.
Looking at the current presses on the market I am drawn to the Lee Loadmaster based on price and my experience with Lee products previously.
Realistically speaking I am not looking to go full boat and get setup with a Dillon and I know that a Lee will never be in that league; but will I be happy? Or am I simply wasting my time and should be looking at something closer to middle of the road?
