does it come with a powder drop? Does it come with a die that will de-prime and re-prime?

The answers are yes, yes, and yes. Depending on how you order your press. My press came with 3 dies for 9mm. It included a "de-capper/resizer die for the first stage. The second stage is where you prime. The Load-Master does not require a die to reprime. The third station is for the power drip and it also flares the case. The fourth stage is for a bullet seat/crimp die. This die can be used with out crimping if you also purchase or have a "Factory Crimp Die." Just remember the Lee takes a lot of tinkering to keep working. Keep it clean and lubricated. Lee support has been very polite and helpful in understanding how to make it work.

Yes, it comes with a Lee Pro Auto-Disk Powder Measure. It comes with a three die set: deprime/resize, powder through expander, and a bullet seating die. The priming system does not use dies.

The real deal is the hyrdraulic one, yes its about 500$, but it comes with 7 dies. The dies are expensive, like 75-100 ea, so that pays for the unit and more. I have this one but I am thinking of selling and getting the hydraulic one because I need more dies.

If you buy the .45 kit the first hole is depriming and comes in kit. The fifth or last station before round is ejected into tray is for a factory size die that you can buy separate

No, you cannot remove primers with this tool. You also need a special shell holder as the one that comes with the die set will not work

No it does not. I think the people having that issue didn't install the primer arm that comes with it. This angled metal piece directs the spent primers down the chute. I would say 1 out of 500 some how doesn't make it in the chute. Great machine for dedicated depriming.

Bought my Lee 40 caliber set of dies from Amazon. Yes they come with a CRIMP Ddie.

It has the quick change bushings so you don't have to keep adjusting your die settings. The alternative would be to get lock rings (like Hornady) with screw tensioning that allows you to lock them in place at the right depth

Answer to your first question is "No". De-priming is done on my Hornady Pro 7 as part of its several functions. I'm not familiar with the Hornady apparatus you mention. If it is multi-functional it should de-prime your spent rounds. If not, tap the out with a punch, preferably brass.

Yes, it comes with three dies. The first sizes and removes the existing prime. The second expands/flairs the shell, feeds the powder and inserts the primer. The third seats the bullet and crimps it. There are issues with the press but if you are patient it serves the purpose at a low cost.

It comes with the case activated powder drop but not a PTX Universal Powder Drop Expander (caliber specific) or a PTX Powder Measure Stop. Both are required if you are wanting to expand the case mouth and charge/fill the case at the same station.

Yes it does. It full length sizes your brass. I use a decapping die first and then wet tumble all my brass first. Then lube and go to town resizing. Works great.

The quick trim die is a separate item. You can order it separately and attach it to your press. I bought one for .223 and have trimmed about 500 cases. It works great!

if the die set has four (4) dies, one is usually the crimp die. The 3 die sets often do not come with the crimp die so that can be purchased separately. I reload 9mm and .357 and also .380 although am still waiting on crimp die for the .380 as those are hard to find. Hope this helps, good luck reloading, it is a neat hobby to get into.....GG

Yes, a decapping die is what you need but also be cautious about what caliber the die is for. Handgun dies come in a red box and rifle dies in yellow. Make sure you purchase it for .223, just so when it arrives you won't be surprised that it is for another caliber... Happy shooting :)

The 4die set does come with a taper crimp die and it works very well. It's foolproof by design, if you follow the very easy instructions you can't go wrong and can't mess up any brass, unlike other brands. Excellent 4 die set for the money.

Yes it comes with a taper crimp die. it also comes with a Full Length Die, Bullet Seating Die, Powder Thru Expanding Die, and Universal Shell Holder also Includes Powder Dipper and Instructions/Load Data. In all it has 4 dies that are Carbide witch you don't need to lube the cases. You only lube steel dies.

What you get with a 3 die system is your sizing & de-primer die, your expander die, your bullet seating and crimp die and your shell holder. The 4 die set uses one die to seat the bullet and another die to crimp. The measure device should be thrown away, always weight your powder charges.
