I like my Loadmaster, never had a problem once you get them set up right.

For what Midway want's for that Press you'd come out cheaper buying a Hornady LNL AP from Natchezz once you factor in the free bullets. And if you have any business messing with a progressive your gonna want a 1000 bullets pronto anyways.

I have the Lee Loamaster to load .45 ACP.. It takes some doing to get it up and rolling, the videos on YouTube help alot. Having to do it all over again I would have bought the Hornady LNL. I test drove one at the dealer after I had already bought the Loadmaster,and it is soooo smooth... I don't care for the way the Loadmaster slings powder during indexing. Not much, but it does. I still might buy a Hornady yet to load a different caliber. My beef with Lee is minimal when you consider what I've mentioned, but the Hornady is nice....

I have a Load Master and it works very well. I load

Pistol
32
380
40
45

Rifle
223
308

I do have a little powder thrown with the 40 unless I make sure I do not slam it at the top and bottom of the stroke. For the price, it is hard to beat. Only problems I have had with mine have been my fault. Also go to

Loadmaster Videos

for how to do videos, and they also have a forum there.

There are a couple videos showing a couple different guys turning out 100 rounds in 6 minutes and 37 seconds. I'm not that fast......

I have a Lee Load Master and if you go to there web site, look at there training videos, they show you how to set up all there presses in detail.  I have no problem with any of my 3  Lee presses, I have producted over 30,000 rounds of match grade ammo on my Load Master.  If you need more info. please IM me.
