Lee Loader

got a Loadmaster yesterday and began the set-up process. Got to the powder set-up and selected a couple of disks for my target 9 loads. I check each dispensed case and found I needed to get a larger diameter to reach what I have been loading. All went well till the last disk selection.

The first attempt to fill a case resulted in a broken return chain. I found the lever on the measure hanging on return to a closed position. I attempted to isolate the cause by removing the hopper then the disks but no answer there. Clean the slider in the die... worked for a while and then failed again.

Filled out a "ticket" for help from support and within an hour had a call setting up the parts I needed to resolved the issue. The tech judged the issue to be the "down tube" in the body of the measure. I'm hoping I get the new one in place without damaging it.

Thanks for a great job of support from tech support. I'll post results

P.S. go easy on me I'm a noob to Lee.

Welcome to the forum and it looks like you might have the fix on the way, please report your results. Pictures are always great as welcomed!

Darn, are you sure? You're going to take all the fun outta hazing and beating up on the new guy.

Welcome to the best Lee Friendly Site on the world wide web.

Definitely keep us posted , and welcome

Guys, this will be my last post. I do apologise for leaving you hanging. I have the deepest respect for each of you that use your Loadmaster. The best to you all!

Hmmmm...

What in the world? Weird I guess he doesn't like it here.

Looks to me like he thought we are Lee employees.

That could be, at least he was polite.

No, you guys are great. I just freaked.I set up the press all except the powder measure. Decided not to wait for parts & bought another measure. The arm on the new one did not move freely. At the same time the case slider started working intermittently. When I first set it up it worked perfectly.

After about 30 hours I threw in the towel. Sent it all back. I have to believe most of the issue lies in my ability to think through and resolve each little situation. So, it's me not Lee and certainly not the forum members.
