I understand that this press comes with dies and all. is there way for me to just purchase this press without the dies?

You can order parts directly from lee. But it is cheaper to buy the whole package. They come with individual caliber.

The only press I know of which uses non-standard metallic cartridge dies is the Dillon Square Deal progressive pistol press. Every other press (whether single-stage, turret, or progressive) I have ever seen uses the same standard die thread (7/8-14). So these dies will work on anything but a Dillon Square Deal B press.

i've used dillon and other dies in my press, but it's a 1970's rcbs junior. if yours is single stage and the threads are the same, i would assume so. if progressive, they may be more suited to a lee press. why do i believe i have seen threaded inserts for conversion of dies!?

I use standard dies and I don't know the dimensions. However the nut which you see in the top of the photo of the press can be taken out to accommodate dies of a larger diameter. Hope this answers your question. R.E.

The Lee dies that come with the press are the carbide three die set that include the sizing and depriming die, the powder through die, and the bullet seating die. I purchased the universal depriming die, and the factory crimp die for the press. It works great with this set up.

I am sorry, I purchased this but have not even removed it from the package. My press works fine without it.

yes a hard press. I do not like that aspect about the design either. Not sure which product could help you though.

No it's just the press.. You gotta buy the dies separate. They do make a universal decapping die.. That just deprimes the case. You can deprime any caliber with that die.. You just need shell holders

Yes, you'll need a hand press with dies otherwise the stem will bend sideways.

The RCBS dies should work with your press. Most dies are interchangeable and can be used with any press. I use RCBS, Lee, Forrester, etc. with my RCBS press. Your current shell holder should also work with a different brand die. You can also call Hornady to verify the setup you are wanting to use. There number is 1-800-338-3220.

No, that is included with your reloading dies. This is a good reloading press. I have reloaded hundreds of rounds with it. Well worth the money

No the press does not come with a decaping die. You will need to purchase a die set for each caliber that you plan on reloading. The die sets do come with a decaping die.

They are if you screw the dies into a "LNL" die bushing (they fit any standard sized die). There are a pack of bushings included with the press but if you are going to load multiple calibers I would suggest you buy more. The press a great tool once you get it set up & tuned in!!

You will need the dies for you caliber and you will need a shell trimmer. I would get some extra she'll holders so you don't have to switch from primer to press.

Each die will have to have a breech lock bushing on it to get it into this press if you want the convenience of quick die change. If you don't mind moving the bushing from one die to the next then you can get away with one. That way you can take a little more time in getting one for each die.

im in the process of converting from 9mm to .223 and what i have found is that for only a little more money i can buy a while new press because you need the dies -33$, shell plate -27$ , case feeder -25$, bubble disk power drop 15$, rifle charge die -12$, extra tool head -20$, so the math says $132 and for about $100 more you can buy another press all set up and since i can tell you that the load master is a very finicky press i would much rather just spend the extra money and set it up and not have to do a complete caliber change over

Yes, all you need is the dies kit. This press is amazing to fully reload any caliber
