My first press was the old Herters lightweight single stage, back when I was earning $45. a week, as a plumber apprentice, $18. was a lot of money! Not long after I bought the "boat anchor" cast iron...

Terry, saw your P.M. before I saw this, and answered your P.M. My E-mail is: Honcho@Outdrs.net, send me your address on that, and I'll get the brass together for you.

Hey, All,
We're looking for some old, Lee Pro 1000 press parts for our Veteran's Club to help load some target ammo for our Vets who can't afford to buy commercial ammo. We're hoping to cobble...

Does anyone have a Lee #2 (.45 ACP) AUTOPRIME shell holder that they would swap even for a Lee #14 (38-40) AUTOPRIME shell holder? I never use the #14 S.H., and could use another #2.
Thanks for any...

Never saw one like that, and I've seen a LOT of presses in my 80 years! Does it use standard shell holders?

Good news! Thanks to the kindness of a Forum member, who sent me the part I needed, I was able to get that Pro 1000 back together, and on line!
Thanks to all who tried to help!

TcStehle, that's GREAT! I do appreciate your helping us out! I had bought an incomplete press, hoping to put it together with parts I had accumulated over the years, but that Column/Post was...

Hey, Slim1836,
That's the same part that Lee sent me, but it's not compatible with my older Lee press using the hex shaft column. The threads at the base on my older one are 5/16", and the threads...

Hey, LouisM,
Yeah, I thought about trying to alter the column/post Lee sent me, the new ones have a 1/4-20 thread at the base, and are longer than the hex shaft ones, I thought about cutting the...

I had a situation some years ago, with Detonation, and it is no joke! I was loading some 6.5 Cal. Italian Carcano rifle catridges, and Dave Emary of Hornady had posted some load with their new,...

Yup, that's the Column/Post-- (Lee part #TP 2106), the older Lee press I have has a hexagonal shaft that has a 5/16" male thread on the bottom, and a 5/16" female thread at the top, with a square...

No, doesn't work like that! That's not all, any of their presses that are older than their current models, they no longer have parts for, either, worse luck-- I bought a Lee Pro 1000 press on line,...
Ferguson, does the Glock 43 have the "Poly" rifled barrel? I'm not a Glock fan, and don't now much about them, but I've heard they use poly rifling which won't handle boolits, because of excess...
I would agree with all the posts, .38 Spl. brass can last a LONG time if you're not hot rodding them! My target loads of 2.8 Gr. of Bullseye with a HBWC bullet work great in both the .38 Spl. and...

Just a "quickie", you can most likely get a free replacement spring from Lee, for your primer post, by calling them. All you pay is the postage.

Thanks, Grmps, you saved me some legwork! I don't have any Mak cases here to measure, nor any spec sheets on the Mak. Apparently this 80 year old memory is still in pretty good shape!
