Glad you came right. Duane at 480 BC is worth keeping on speed dial for future Lee requirements too.

Lee has discontinued the load master and don't even have stock, so I was lucky to get one ;D

Lee's new business model of discontinuing support for their products, some not long after they have released updates as in the case of the Loadmaster, is pissing me off. I'm a 35+ year supporter of the brand which was built on old man Lee providing outstanding value and long term support. His kids appear to have taken a very different approach on the latter at least.

The Lee webpage says it will give you a 50% discount on a new press if you send them your Loadmaster or a picture with your ID, not sure if that applys to SA?

I'm quite sure the discounts don't apply to us. Even if they did I wouldn't be clapping my hands like a seal. It's not more than a few years back that they were selling the old pro1000 an saying that it would last a life time if you oiled it. I now have two pro1000s with a fair bit of spares on hand. I'm a second hand first kinda girl but if I was to want a new press for some reason I doubt it would be a Lee given how they dropped support for both the pro 100 and load master so soon after releasing updates.
