I bought a Load Master over a Dillon just because of the negative reviews the Lee had. Mine came from eBay and it was nearly new but had the advancing flipper bungled up due to the previous Bubba obviously trying to muscle the press when it was bound up somehow. I replaced the flipper, retimed the carrier and away I went. I haven't run a whole bunch on it yet, say 1000 rounds divided between 45 acp, 38 special, 223 rem and 357 mag. I mangled probably ten primers in the first loading session or two before I had the whole rhythm down and it's primed 100% flawless since. Granted it's still pretty new and I'm not saying that as it gets some wear I won't have to do some cheap preventative maintenance but so far I'm just not seeing the horror show that makes women swoon and grown men weep. I added a halo light kit recently and it is the cat's pajamas, otherwise the only thing I would change if I could would to be increase the leverage a little simply because I sit when I load and the height of my bench vs the height of my chair is such that I don't get the full advantage of body weight at the end of the stroke.
Lol.....turn the volume up.....puppy gets tons of pets.....YT takes ammo manufacturing vids down so you wouldn't be able to comment. Thanks for watching. 😉

Good info. Well presented.
Thank you
Can't hear you = strike 1. Didn't pet the awesome puppy dog = strike 2. Appeased the YT overlords = strike 3.
