I started out with a Lee single stag press in 1997, got a Redding T7 around 2002, a Lee Loadmaster around 2014.
When the 6000 came out I wanted to wait to see some reviews and finally decided to get one. I think Lee nailed it. The Loadmaster has its quirks but the 6000 is awesome. I am only loading pistol cartridges and using three dies. I spend more time grabbing a fresh case and bullet than anything else. Without going crazy a loaded 45acp comes out every 12 seconds.
Priming system - Awesome. Use any brand of primer, any quantity.
Auto Index, Awesome, very simple with a precise shell holder lockup.
Powder Dispenser on the powder through expander die - Sweet and super easy to adjust to any charge volume. I can mount bottle of 231 right on top.
Small footprint on my loading bench.
Price - $339 from Titan Reloading. Just add powder, primers, brass and a bullet. What a value.
The Loadmaster: I am selling it and all shell holders and accessories is the classifieds in hopes that it will add to someone else's existing Loadmaster set up or get someone new further into reloading. It isn't a Pro 6000 but it is priced right.
Good job Lee. This is my last press I'll need to buy.
