Default RE: lee pro 1000 Press

I have one, it was given to me. Sometimes it drives me absolutely crazy. If a primer failes to be installed or something, the whole works shuts down. Powder all thru the works of the shell holder. You also have to keep the hopper full of powder. Little low, and it will not charge the case right and you can get into trouble with a bullet being stuck in your barrel. I wouldn't buy one myself. I just got a good price. I use it for 9mm, 40S&W, 357sig, 44mag (light unique loads, not heavy loads), 357mag, etc.

I gave up on it seating and crimping correctly, so now, I just put a bullet on and seat it little high, and later run them thru the single stage to correctly get my COL and crimp real good.
