Default I'm with wee hooker

Howdy,
I'm with Wee Hooker, I'd rather have a Lee 1000 than a Square deal.
Tell Sackett makes sense too. When I am done loading on the 1000's I have to run everything through a Lee factory crimp die so a five station press would help.
I did have a Loadmaster for a while but I prefer the 1000's
The Lees work pretty good but have to be mounted to something rock solid to preform their best.
I had a buddy who bought one after seeing me load on mine and he bitched and bitched about it. I went to see if I could help him and he had it clamped to a kitchen like table in his shop.
It takes a big heavy bench bolted to the walls to make the 1000's hum.
I have three set up. One for .38, .45 and 9mm. The old .45 machine has seen untold amounts of use. I do have to tune them from time to time. Rebuild is cheap and easy.
I also lube it every time prior to use.
I have nothing bad to say about the Dillion 500 and up series either other than I am cheap and the Lees serve me well.
Good luck.
Mike
