    The press could be set up so that the right-hand can remain on the loading handle.

    I started off a long time ago with Lee 1000s - one in 45, one in 9, and one 38 Special. I loaded a LOT of rounds on those presses and literally wore them out. They were cheap and effective for the price. I like Lee dies and use them for rifle and pistol.

    I moved to Dillon Square Deals and 550s. I hope Lee great success with their new press but I doubt I will be leaving my 550 for one.

    LL,
    There's a video from Eagle Eye Shooting that does the whole un boxing, set up and short operational sequence which shows the safety prime in use.

    It works just like the safety prime installed on any of the Lee single stage presses.

    This looks like a decent press and better option than the Pro 1000 but the manual(semi auto)primer feed and loss of a station from the Load Master makes it a no go for me. It's just a case of the minimal price difference doesn't out weigh the limitations this time.

    I guess I'm one of the lucky ones. I've never had any problems to speak of with my Load Master.

    ETA: Jeep beat me to it!

    My only experience with the Load Master was helping a friend set one up. It all went into action without too much fuss and I helped him load a few rounds to get a feel for everything. He was new to reloading so, when I was leaving, I told him to take it easy until he got a feel for it. I specifically remember telling him not to force anything and to give me a call if he needed help.

    I did get a call that evening. He'd had a primer jam that resulted in a detonation. It scared him bad enough that he immediately got rid of the Lee and bought a Dillon 650. It never gave him any issues.

    LEE stuff can be a good value and some of their products I like really well. But the primer systems on all their presses, in my opinion, are the weak spots.

    Nowadays, when I do occasionally load on my Pro 1000, I prime off press. This allows me to set the powder measure at Stage One, the bullet seater at Stage Two and a crimp die at Stage Three. In this manner I can really crank out some ammo once I've gone through the work of sizing and priming the press.

    I watched a couple of the linked videos and the primer thing looks like it came out of a toilet tank rebuild kit.
