After yall's comments and some more reading and watching videos, the Lee is out. I am mechanically inclined, but my patience is not great since my accident. Still considering the Hornady, but the Dillon is leading the way.

I had a Hornady for a couple of years. I came across a good opportunity to buy a Dillon 550. About 6 months later, I added a second 550 and sold the Hornady equipment to buy more conversions for the 550s. I never regretted that decision. Although I have added quite a bit of equipment, bought a sold several different Dillon presses, I still have that first 550.Originally Posted by Cooley
Probably a good decision to pass on the Loadmaster if your patience isn't great right now. I bought a used one not too long ago with a lot of extras at a good price. It runs great now, even the bullet feeder and priming system but I did have to tinker with it and get a few things figured out. I knew that going in but it still got really frustrating a times. I am happy with the Loadmaster right now and think it is a big improvement over my classic turret press but everyone seems to say Dillon is the best and that is what I will probably have when I can afford it. Hopefully I will appreciate it all the more after having used others.
You will appreciate it!I still use my RCBS single stage, but it is night and day different. I use the Dillon for my AR calibers and 9mm. I shoot a LOT of 9mm. Bought a CZ Scorpion carbine and a CZ SP-01 and those things are fun to shoot. That being said I have to feed them. The Dillon was the only way I could keep up and not pull my hair out.
I'm glad that I had the Loadmaster first. It gave me a great appreciation for the Dillon I have now. I also learned how things operated
