LEE 90032 9MM Luger Quick Trim

This is a great way to get into handloading if you have never done it before or think you might want to try it. I've priced out all the things that this comes with at sporting goods stores like Cabela's and this saves you quite a bit of cash.There are a few things to consider before buying though:1.) If you know for sure that you want to hand load and you have even the slightest desire to buy a progressive press, save the money and go buy the progressive press. I loved that this kit helped me break into the hobby but I've only had it for 2 months and loaded about 1500 rounds or so, BUT I'm already looking to buy a Dillion progressive press. Using a single stage is very time consuming. You can pump out about 50 in a little under an hour if you're really cooking and focusing on what you're doing, but you can easily do 50 in about 5 minutes with a progressive press so keep that in mind.If you're just looking for a starter kit though, this is a great kit. Everything works well and I haven't had any issues. People really hate the priming setup with this but I love it. Hand priming just adds another step to the process and with this setup you can easily prime the brass with hardly any extra time.You will need to buy a few things besides this kit to get started:-Some kind of brass tumbler to clean spent brass. I like the Franklin Armory vibratory tumbler. It's super economical at about $35 and gets the brass really clean if not super polished. If you need to have a mirror finish on your brass then look elsewhere but why?-Dies for whatever calibers you want to reload. You can get these for about $30 - $40 depending on if you want the factory crimp die. Do a little research and see what you want.-Definitely want some die bushings. These let you change out dies super fast and save a lot of time and save your wrists some carpel tunnel.-MUST buy a digital scale. Franklin Armory again has a good cheap one that can be had for about $25. The scale that comes with this "works" but you're going to spend about an hour fiddling with it, to get it zeroed and make sure that the powder throw is throwing the correct charge. If you change calibers at all then you will definitely want an electronic scale. The balance one is a piece of crap. I promise you, it will be $25 well spent. Don't suffer as I did. Just buy one.TL;DR It's a great kit to get you started, but you'll outgrow it quickly.

I had one of these years ago and used it to load .223 and several handgun calibers. With the price of ammo recently I decided to reload again, and Lee was the natural choice. The set-up has a small footprint, and you can simply clamp it to a workbench and remove when done. It's not as fast as a progressive press, but when you get in a routine, you can do a lot of rounds.In fact case preparation will take far more time than loading.The Lee dies are very nice and cheap too.As to reloading .223, I would recommend using the Lee case lube that comes with the press. I tried the Hornaday aerosol, but it did not function very well and a number of cases got stuck on resizing.If you are reloading military brass you will probably need to order a small primer hole swager. The primer pocket cleaner will NOT work for this.You will also need a case trimmer, although the chuck IS included with the kit.I don't care for the balance, and bought a Frankford digital scale. Also the powder dispenser is quirky in my experience. I usually weigh out each load separately on the scale.Finally, the 'autoprimer' that comes with the kit seems pretty fragile, so I added a handprimer. One problem with using the included autoprimer is that you would deprime and mount a new primer, with no trimming step. Also your case might be a little funky with lube and grime, but once it's primed you can't retumble it.So I would deprime/resize, trim, and then prime. But there's no reason you can't do the quick 'n' dirty method in one step.For the money, it's great value.Now, as to finding primer, powder and bullets...EDIT: I have now reloaded over 2000 rounds since purchase. My only concerns would be that in the course of resizing, I found what appeared to be rust between the die and the press sleeve. After cleaning it out and putting light oil on the die threads, I did not have further problems. I'm not sure where that was coming from... I didn't have this issue with my first Lee single-stage. I would not lower the rating however, this is still great value for the money.

good
