Question: Is it worth using a powder check die with this machine, a factory crimp, or nothing and just use the basic  four stations?
Document: The problem is now I have had to remove my Lee Factory Crimp Die. I am sure the seating and crimping die will do the job. There are many 3 and 4 stage presses on the market that do not have space for a Factory Crimp Die. But, that also means now I can not add a bullet feeder which I was planning to do.I hate having to make a compromise.
Just make sure you don't rush and you get to know machine. I disabled the auto index and am treating it as a single stage until I am more experienced and then I can start cranking out ammo. This is the first time I ever reloaded my own ammo and it really wasn't that hard, just check check and check again everything from powder to length of bullet.All you need is a scale, a caliper, and some reload supplies.
Amazingly it worked.I won't say there have been no problems, but they were simple fixes.The collet holding the de-capping pen in my resizing die was cross threaded from the factory, but Lee offered to replace it free. I decided to purchase a universal de-capping die and use the resizing die on the second stage where the casings are primed.So far I have reloaded about 600 rounds of 9mm and 40S&W.
My one big complaint is the primer station. Oh, it works fine but it takes a whole station and doesn't do anything else unless you use the resizing die in station 2.You must watch the powder very carefully. This is a matter of safety. I loaded two squibs, (that is a round with a primer but no powder). The rounds fired but the projectiles lodged in the barrel.
I have been buying Lee products for a while. Primarily because they cost less than their competitors. After successfully using the Lee Reloader single stage press. I felt it was time to upgrade to the Load Master. I was extremely disappointed. The device has all the grace of a Rube Goldberg device. Parts kept breaking and constant calibration was needed.The primer mechanism put strange divots into my primers. The brass feeder kept putting in my brass upside down and wouldn't feed the cases completely under the decapping/resizing die.
The hopper never produced an accurate powder charge. The auto-discs were slightly off on the correct powered charge. If you're not attentive enough to the machine's quarks you will experience many frustrating hours dealing with squib rounds (no powder in bullet), spilt powder, Crushed primers, broken components etc.Stay as far away from this machine as possible. Save a few more bucks and get a Dillion or Hornady progressive press.
What I found was I would constantly need to stop and readjust the dies, specifically the seating die, and to tighten the screw that holds the die head / plate in place. I will say, the powder drop, at least for me seemed to be very consistent. My biggest problem was keeping a consistent OAL with this press. The next batch I ran, I decapped and resized ahead of time.
First the instructions are horrible. However the mechanics are very solid. Each station required adjustment. Most was easy especially with some youtube help. The features per dollar are very good.Two complaints. First the powder measure system. The auautodisk. Is not as accurate as I would like. I averaged + / - .03 using several different pistol powders. Not acceptable.Secondly once I finally got through to customer service the rep seemed bothered and unconcerned. Not happy about that. Lee makes many great products.
It lacked any factory based calibration. Trial and error at all settings for calibration. Documentation woefully inadequate.Still a sturdy product that performs when setup.
It looks like things have settled out at about 3 crooked primers per hundred rounds. This is not a problem as I remove the case at station 3 and check to see if a primer has been installed. I think everything is going to work out just fine.
Answer: yes
