Depends.. are you talking about the ones that fall apart from so much use or the ones people take out in the field and shoot from frustration. Just a joke folks....
 
I started with Lee decades ago. I don't use their products anymore. That's my reloading journey. Lee is the value leader in the market place. Other manufactures merit excellence in other areas but are more expensive. Your choice really...Kia or Porsche. It just depends on what you want and need. They all make ammunition.

If you spend the time it takes to learn them. You can get them to run with the best of them.



They do have a few plastic parts that need replacing from time to time, they don’t cost a lot but are part of the price you pay for it’s low initial cost.
 
Just got a load master took a bit of getting used to the priming is still a lil problematic not to bad I got about 5000 rounds through it in a month still solid as the day I got it.
I also have a lee turret press a very conservative guess at round count 50,000 yeah it's worn lil sloppy but I would not hesitate to load on it again.
I think it's a matter of working with your tools then working on your tools getting a feel for how things should work and quickly pick up on things not right just by feel stop and correct the issue.
Lee is like an AK low cost and just works.
 
Mine was nearing 100k before the XL650 took over the heavy lifting. It’s not rocket science to get a Loadmaster 100% with Lee’s latest upgrades.
 
Mine ran erratically from the day I set it up. It would function perfectly for several hundred rounds, then refuse to feed primers correctly until I quit in disgust. After eating dinner and calming down, I returned to it to try and figure it out, and it ran perfectly again for another few hundred rounds.
This scenario repeated itself every few months for about 10 years, at which point I decided that I was too old to put up with it anymore, and bought a Dillon.
No more problems.
 
I'm a little over a month owning a Loadmaster and so far its ran fine after a small learning curve with setting up and use. Like any good reloader should do, status check the loads as your progressing through your loading.

So far I'm happy with my upgrade from a classic turret press to the Loadmaster.
