lee pro 1000 ???

[turtlezx]

which end of the Z bar goes into the shell slider ?? long or short end

[Tazza]

The small one from memory, the longer end goes into the aluminium part with the spring under it.

ive been running the other way (figures) my Z bar looks more like a prezel but its staying in

at the bottom left of the Lee Precision home page, they have a section on manuals/setup and troubleshooting their products.

took tazza recomendation flipped it over bent it a few more times
works well now with the long end on top the sizing die keeps it in place


thanx turtle

Good to hear it's working well. I found if things weren't just right, mine would pop out of the slider too.

TurtleZX, you can get a replacement Z bar, free, from Lee, all you need to do is pay the shipping-- not a good idea to bend the Z bar yourself, as it may deform the hole in the aluminum bar holder above the spring, on the column. It would also be a good idea to order in the aluminum piece that holds the Z bar, they do wear out, and the price is right!
