Interested in getting into reloading 223? This reloading kit from Lee Precision includes all of the ammo reloading equipment you’ll need to get started (except the Reloading Components, of course). It can also be used as a 556 reloading kit as long as you’re following 5.56 NATO load data. You can also get other parts to turn these into Reloading Presses for reloading both rifle and handgun cartridges and feature a large 1-3/4″ diameter ram with a stroke clearance big enough for even the largest magnum rifle cases. Use as an automatic indexing progressive press or as a single-stage press, and its five stations accept most popular reloading dies. Dies are held by a detachable turret that allows them to be removed and reinserted without adjusting. For a great way to start reloading like a pro, choose the Lee Loadmaster 223 Reloading Press kit.

WOW! That's all I can say right now on how fast I got this product! First off I was lucky enough to get this product before it sold out. Then the shipping was wicked fast. It shipped on a Monday and I got it that Friday! The product itself is amazing also. I'm pretty new to the reloading community and I am so happy I made this decision on the Lee. Not only was the price right but the product itself is amazing. I will definitely be ordering more from this company and I will be on the Lee bandwagon!

It does the job. It takes a bit of patience but it works great once you get the hang of it. I'm not a big fan of some of the plastic components. Lee does have a great customer service department who are patient and willing to help.

I own this reloader and load 9mm with it. You can load most calibers but before you buy and definitely after you buy, go on YouTube and look for the channel run by gunblue490. He has an extremely comprehensive set of videos that will take you from A to Z with this reloader. Many tips to make it run better.

I reloaded with a single stage press for quite some time and decided to try a progressive machine for my handguns and 223 calibers, but will remain using the single stage for my other rifle cartridges.I saw several reviews on YouTube and decided that I could live with the shortcomings and prepared to do some filling, sanding, etc.Basically, I thought that I will be experiencing indexing problems and priming sitting issues, both functions that, in my mind, define a progressive machine. Also, expecting problems with the case feeding assembly, and decided that if it was a problem, I could live without it.Well, I bought the machine on 2016 and looks like Lee Precision listened because I didn’t find the problems I was expecting, granted, it took me some time to understand how to adjust the indexing, but once I did (without filling or sanding, just using a 11 mm wrench), it worked quite well.•Indexing is smooth, but my opinion is based on that this is my first and only progressive that I operated at any capacity;•Didn’t have any issues with the priming system, only the ones caused by me when learning the machine function;•There is plenty of adjustment available to adjust the case feeding assembly, contrary to what I saw in YouTube;I did some changes, actually one; I replaced the bolt that controls the primer seating depth with one without raised lettering, $0.11.I bought the 223 kit not only because I wanted to reload this caliber, but because it comes with the “Auto-drum Powder Measure” which I prefer, instead of the “Auto Disk”. I already have the .45 ACP, .45 Colt dies.Even though I have Lyman dies for 44 Spl/Mag, I bought the Lee deluxe one because I needed the expander/powder thrower die and the factory crimp. I use a universal de-capping die at the station #1 and the sizing die without the de-priming pin at the station #2 to ensure case/primer alignment. Also, with dies in stations 2 to 5 allows me having a “loose” shell plate that improves the machine feeling during operation. Now the shell plate rotation is easy and the fine-indexing is achieved by the brass in the sizing, bullet sitting and factory crimping dies.I got the extra shell plates, 5 holes tool head, large pistol case feeder kit, large primer assembly, additional powder measure drums, and 44 Spl dies and in total spent just a few dollars more than the next lowest priced progressive press by its own, but now I have everything I need to reload .44 Spl/Mag, .45 Colt, .45 ACP and 223/5.56. I can change calibers in less than 5 minutes, 20 if I need to change primer system and powder.I do go slowly, I believe that the more expensive ones are smoother (whatever that means), but the slowest I operate this machine, its loads faster than reloading with my single stage.I decided to go with this because I had some previous experience with Lee products and most, but not all, worked well for me. And also because of price, I can’t justify myself spending double the money at this moment. But I’m happy with my investment, but if/when I try the other machines I may change my mind, but for now I’m a satisfied Lee Load Master novice user.

FIRST, This comes with terrible directions. I'm an adult and can figure things out, but wow..You can hardly tell what the pictures are showing you. Lee has Video references BUT they aren't even on assembly.Second, Cheap made in China Plastic parts.The shell loader didn't line up and wouldn't push brass all the way in.After an hour I decided to not use it.The plastic is so soft, a butterfly dump would chip it and make the piece worthless.Third, the Actuator arm that rotates the shell holder is (once again) plastic!This is attached to metal bar stock that was so rough I had to sand it down to get it to slide. ALL of the pictures are from the left side because Lee doesn't want you to see what actually rotates the shells. This piece rubs up and down on metal bumps…well sure enough after 20 or so pumps to line up the first die, the PLASTIC chipped and turned as worthless as a teenager mowing the lawn.All of the moving parts are extremely rough and don't slide well together.Lee (obviously from CHY-Na) doesnt understand that plastic doesnt wear well against METAL!I havent gotten to loading any brass as of yet and cant wait to see how bad the cheap plastic primer loader is.I have to order new parts for my new Press to even be able to start the process. This should be renamed the Harbor Freight of bullet Presses… Personal note: The Dies arent labeled other than bullet size. If you dont memorize their purpose, good luck..

My initial impression, after reading many reviews, was with a bit of mixed feelings. I found the press was really hard to work and the powder drop very inconsistent. After loading about 100 rounds with a sinking feeling, I decided to call it a night and cleaned up everything – spur of the moment I decide to oil it down with WD40 – What an immediate difference! Needless to say I cleaned it all up nicely and removed all the factory grease and played around with the shell plate tension nut. It turns out this baby can operate a smooth as butter. The powder measure does not like the long granules that much and you need a really long pause at the top of the stroke to make sure all the powder trickles through, so I switched to Benchmark powder which is a lot shorter and finer – this works perfectly. I tested a large number of throws and they were all on the money.So, accuracy when shooting, the larger granule powder performed poorly, but the fine powder produced very accurate results. 10 rounds all under 1 MOA – makes me a happy man.In the end, if you work out the kinks in it, its a very smooth and accurate press. I'm patient when I load, not too concerned with 'best speed' and still manage to load 350 – 400 rounds per hour.
