You are correct. This info is in the new Pro 1000 instructions on the website. The instructions for this issue could have been made clearer... In any case, down the road I will buy the...

FWIW, Lee got back to me and indicated non-upgradeable, parts do not interchange, etc boo
Forum: Reloading Equipment
Yes. I did the same thing. I see that Lee and Midway offer the new Pro 1000 but it seems that we would have to buy the whole package, i.e., case feeder, auto disk, dies, etc. I dont need all that!...

hey, did anyone buy/try/evaluate the new Lee Pro 1K 0.1 and 0.2?
I see they added an alignment index pin (0.1) and a primer dump tube (0.2).
Just wanted to get some input.
It seems...

I am loading 38 special on a Lee Progressive 1000. I try to peek inside the case, like a 38 special, to ensure there is powder in the case before I place the bullet on top and seat.
Not so easy...

I apologize! I have had the Breech Lock for only 6 months, the LM for considerably longer than that!
I got the BL on sale at Midway for about $98. the LM I think was about $175. I think they...

I have had them both for about 2 years or so. I prefer the LM, its faster and once you get past the learning curve, it is mo betta! you need to see the Lee training films on this guy...

just curious. I started going down the light load thing as one of the more knowledgeable 1911 guys in the club said that the gun was really bouncy (sp?) with the mid range and high loads. ...

I picked up my RO this afternoon. Can you guys recommend a light, low recoil load for a 1911 9mm? I have BE & TTGP powders and the Lee 120 gr TC mold. Should I go with a heavier boolit? I had...

For the 9 and the 38, I use a Lee flare die. Cheap enough, you can adjust to your hearts content and really see right away how much is enough.
Mr. Waco nailed it, please bell the case.

Can someone here recommend a snubbie load for the 148 gr Lee TL and Bullseye?
(I have them seated to the case mouth using 3.2 gr of BE.)
It seems like a reasonable load, however, with the 5 or...

I have every priming system known to man. Hah! The one I go to the most is the Lee ergo. Why? Simply because it is the easiest to load. I do not like loading tubes or strips ... and yes, I have...

I bought the Lee mold for the 38 spl, 148 gr WC.
There is no apparent crimp groove on this guy, so what do I seat at?
I should be crimping, correct??
(Back in the day, I used the top groove and...

yupper. that's what I planned on doing.

Anyone have a load for this boolit using Bullseye and/ or Titegroup?
Finding data on this and the 150 gr Lee RN is somewhat difficult
thanks

OK, there is one in every crowd! Here I am!
I have used the APS bench mount for several months now. The APS hand squeezer is good. The RCBS APS bench mount is piss poor! too many plastic parts! ...
