First impressions: New Auto Breech Lock Pro

[sghart3578]

I got my new press from Titan Reloading today. Fast shipping and great packing as usual.

I mounted it to my reloading bench and loaded 50 rounds of 9mm. Here are my impressions:

The press is assembled, just screw it down. You must install the proper shellplate which is a quick process. It is purchased separately from the press.

I took my 9mm dies from the LCT turret head and installed them per the die directions. The fourth hole where the crimp die goes requires the use of the supplied lock ring eliminator bushing. The other three dies were right at home in the supplied breech lock bushings and set up was easy.

I cycled through the stages with an empty case. The timing and alignment are perfect, no play and positive engagement every time.

I mounted my old standby powder measure, the Lee Pro Auto Disk. I used the riser that I normally use on my LCT. I opted to use the spring return and not the chain. I added powder and tested for weights after the drops. All good so far.

I figured it was time to get started so I loaded some primers in my trusty safety feed and that is where I ran into the only obstacle. Apparently the old primer assemblies won't work on this press. The arms are too long. I tried shimming them up and that worked but then the mouths of the primer dispensers were too wide. The priming arm sits deeper in the press so the old priming assembly can't get in deep enough.

I could be doing something wrong, I don't know. There may not be a problem at all.

Not to be defeated, I got out some brass, some Dardas bullets and 50 primers.

I loaded all 50 by handed loading the primer into the arm. But every round loaded. All primers were seated to the correct depth, no high primers. All crimps were good.

Lee even enclosed a tray for free that mounts to the bench next to the press to catch loaded ammo. Nice touch.

Pros: The press worked wonderfully. Even loading the primers by hand I was able to quickly develop a rhythm.

First, load an empty case at station 1 and set a bullet on station 3 if there is a charged case.

On each downstroke (raises the ram) load a primer in station 2 and set an empty case in station 1. The case in station 1 has been sized and deprimed, station 2 has charged a primed case, station 3 has seated a bullet and station 4 has crimped it.

Raise arm (lowers the ram) to seat primer, set bullet in station 3 and downstroke.

I like the fact that you produce a round on each cycle. Big change from my LCT.

I will definitely add a case feeder.

Cons: The primer situation is a bummer. I will have to talk to Lee to see if I am doing something wrong.

Also, the arm is quite long with a lot of travel. I tried rotating the arm out away from the press but I found that having the arm in is more comfortable.

I'm sure that I will have more info as I use the press more but for now I think Lee has a winner. With the addition of a case feeder and correcting the priming issue I will soaring like an eagle.

Some poor photos.

Thanks for the info. I used the old style safety-prime (black plastic, round trays) on a single stage years ago and it worked fine. I broke one of the arms at one point, and never bothered to mess with it again. I hand primed or bench primed.

I ended up buying a new style (white plastic with square trays) when I bought my LCT and have never been able to get it working as well as the old one. I probably drop or put in upside down 4/10 primers. More hassle than it's worth.

Apparently there are at least three versions of this out there...the newest being gray plastic.

You might consider checking out some of the postings on THR. One of the posters there has it up and running well on his auto beech lock after a mod to the primer arm. He says he has an error rate of less than 1/100. I could probably live with that

[dbosman]

Thank you for the review.

[Livin_cincy]

You must be left handed by the way you rotated the handle.

[JBinMN]

Thanks for sharing your review.
:)

I am still interested in getting one of these , but I am going to wait a while I think. I just got a LCT press right around Christmas & am enjoying it right now. Maybe this Summer.

Thnks again!

That how it comes out of the box I spun mine around.

You must be left handed by the way you rotated the handle.

I was trying it both ways. The throw is very long and I was trying different handle positions and different body placement.

I have since turned the handle back around to the right side.

I think this press needs a more ergonomic handle.

It needs to be swept out to the right further and curved away from the user towards the machine. Then you wouldn't have to reach down as far on the upstroke of the ram. I have to almost bend over to take the arm all the way down.

And there is no adjustment in the position of the arm other than spinning it left or right.

You can loosen the adjusting nut and slide the handle rod down until the projecting portion contacts the bench on the down stroke. I now have mine at nearly one half length now and the press works so easily that I think I'll cut a relief into the bench so that I can make it even shorter.

Yesterday was spent setting up the Lee Auto Breech Lock Pro press and loading a few rounds to test the operation of the press and the load for the S&W Model 39.

The load is put together with the Lee 356-120-TC, powder coated with Randy Rat's grey, over 4.6 grains of Win 231 and ignited with Win small pistol primers with a Quick Load estimation of 1055 fps.

The load works pretty good considering these 82 year old eyes and shaky hands.

218984 218985 218986

Today, I wanted to test the reliability and cycle time of the press with this load.

The Lee Safety Prime is the old model and several washers were used as shims to bring the dispenser up to the correct height to align correctly with the primer arm. As long as the feed chute is completely full of primers, If I can remember to click it, the primer dispenser works every time.

Each of the Case and Bullet feeders seemed to work flawlessly throughout the entire session with never a hiccup. The only caveat is that the bullet feeder needs to be disabled until ready to feed the first bullet into the case. This is simply a matter of not rotating the multi tubes over the dispensing hole until ready. If the multi tubes are not used, the case feeder crank rod needs to be disconnected until ready to feed the first bullet.

The Auto Drum Powder Measure absolutely amazed me with the consistency of the throws. It never varied more than 0.1 grain through 20 test throws.

I spent about ten minutes loading 2 bullet tubes with 25 bullet each then plugged two of the tubes in the multi case feeder and dumped in 50 WW9mm cases. I've got a penny covering a portion of each hole in the Case Collater so all the cases went into the two tubes base down.

218987 218999

The timer was started and I began the cycle with a slow measured rhythm.
After one full cycle, this is the sequence.
With the handle in the down position.
Load a primer into the priming arm with the Safety Prime.
Pull the handle halfway up and glance into the case to verify a powder drop.
Continue pulling the handle all the way up to rotate the shell plate, load a case into the shell plate and feel the primer seat.
Pull the handle down while verifying bullet placement on top of the case and continue down to seat the bullet, drop the powder, resize another case and eject a loaded round into the collection box.

218996 218997

The biggest hurdle for me is remembering to feed a primer into the priming arm but, keeping a slow and measured rhythm, I didn't goof it up this time.
after cartridge number 50 dropped into the box, I stopped the timer at 9 minutes and 21 seconds.

That calculates out to a rate of 321 cycles per hour. After some practice, where I don't have to slow down and think what needs to be done next, I should be able to increase that substantially.

So I use my Lee Breech Lock Pro in a different way than most. To me it is a brass processing machine. Since it arrived last week I have added the case feeder, put a lee full length die in position one and an M-Die in position 2.

I ran 1500 40 S&W cases to de prime and size, then expand. At around 750 cases I was on the phone with lee technical support because I had a "wallowed" out spot where the case hit when dropping out of the feeder onto the carrier cover "Red plastic" the track for the case slider block developed a very long bow stopping it from returning under its own power. After a please call and email conversation with Andy Lee I have another cover on the way. They want to evaluate the one that was on the press originally.

I took a file to the carrier cover and was back in business.

I proceeded to process the remaining 1500 40 S&W around 1700 380 auto, and I am somewhere around 2000 9mm, this was a lot of handle pulls.

The biggest lessons I have learned is that I am going to consider the carrier cover an item to have a replacement on hand for, and since this press does not have the indexing button for the breech lock die bushing, I had the sizing die come loose and chip the very end of the breech lock threads before it popped out. The bushings need regular inspection.

I used to use a lee pro 1000 press in the same way and this new press is much more reliable and feed much more consistently.

If a case does double feed or feed irregularly and you do not catch it, the leverage of the press will press the case into the carrier cover.

Even with the carrier cover issue I am a happy customer and would buy again this makes processing brass before hand priming go very fast.

Do you think a turn or two of plumbers teflon tape around the bushing would help keep it in place?

[gsdelong]

It is a pretty tight fit, the interesting thing is I did more 380 and 40 with no issues than the 9mm that came loose. I did notice that the occasional 9mm needed extra force in the sizing die.

[dverna]

Call me spoiled...but stuff like that should not happen!!! "Wallowed" out spot after less than 1000 cases. Die bushing coming loose!

I was hoping to purchase one of these as a dedicated .223 loader but not now. Not until Lee (or the users) work out solutions.

Here is what I do not understand. Surely as part of their product development they would have a run a few machines for 10,000 cycles before launching a product in order to find the weak spots in design and materials. At 350 rounds an hour (with addition of the case feeder and bullet feeder), it would take 30 hours to run 10,000 rounds, let's say two weeks for testing with time for breaks, lunch and fiddling. Now, a good company would do that as a minimum. A great company would keep running those test presses for a minimum of 100,000 cycles and add product improvements as needed.

Lee continues its heritage of inexpensive progressive offerings that work most of the time for low volume users who value price over reliability. I know....what should we expect for less than $125. I was hoping this new press would be different but it does not look good.

If Lee cares about their customers, they are reading these kinds of threads and learning something. A lot of us want a viable alternative and some are willing to live with tweaking poor designs but not everyone. If they could make a machine that works, their customer base would more than double. I, for one, will not buy a Beta machines that will always stay a Beta machine (like the Pro 1000's and Loadmasters)

BTW, if they had to charge $250 (twice as much) for a press that worked out of the box, I would eagerly buy one. I wish Lee had engineers running their operations instead of bean counters. And the really sad part is that the improvements needed are not expensive...for example adding an indexing button so the dies do not back out...sheesh!

As a person who works in a field where nothing is ever %100 functional by everyone's standards, I understand how to weigh the pluses and the negatives. I would buy the press again.

My interaction was with both Andy and John Lee I would not characterize those two as "bean counters".

I think as far as the dies go, it was a anomaly because as I mentioned the lee 380 & 40 SW ran for 3000 plus cases, and the problem occurred with the 9mm around the 1000 mark, so obviously it was not every round in every die that had this issue.

The carrier cover on the other hand, I think does not allow for the 1 in 100 miss feed case that comes down at an angle or upside down.

At this time I would still rate it as a significant improvement in the feeding department over the PRO1000

[JBinMN]

Aluminum strip over the top of the carrier to help prevent the "wallowing" or gouging? Need to have tolerance for the feeder to "ride" over the strip as the cover moves back & forth, but perhaps it could be done?

Just offering with a mental picture. Not familiar other than watching videos & looking at pics right now, but it seems to me that if a cocked case or upside down acting as a "gouge" is cutting into the plastic, as "shim" or metal to protect the plastic might be a suitable fix...??

IDK, just thinking out loud I guess...

G'Luck & thanks to you all for the "reviews" & descriptions of your experiences with this new Lee press.

I am still sitting on the fence right now.

[OS OK]

@ Tom Meyers comment on production rate...

[ I stopped the timer at 9 minutes and 21 seconds. ] Fair enough but this time doesn't reflect the entire actual time involved in assembling 50 rounds.

[ I spent about ten minutes loading 2 bullet tubes with 25 bullet each then plugged two of the tubes in the multi case feeder and dumped in 50 WW9mm cases. ] In all fairness...with this time added, you assembled these 50 rounds in more like a rate of 155 RPH.

Not trying to rain on your parade...just being realistic.

Your are absolutely correct. My statement should have read "That calculates out to a rate of 321 cycles per hour."

This test was performed to test the functional reliability and cyclic rate of the press and not necessarily the number of rounds assembled per hour.

The press can be loaded with 100 cases, 100 bullets and 100 primers at a time. Later on, when I have gathered up enough cleaned brass and coated bullets I can then actually find out how many times I can load the press, cycle 100 times, reload and cycle 100times, etc., etc. to determine how many rounds can be assembled within 1 hour.

After affixing a penny to partially cover the holes for the small 9mm cases, the case collator works quite well and makes short work of preloading the cases. It is the bullet feeder that is painstakingly slow to load 100 bullets into the four tubes. I'll keep thinking on it and perhaps I can come up with a speedy method that doesn't involve an automated device .

I could take into account the time spent casting, coating, sizing and organizing the bullets and also the time spent cleaning, sorting and storing the fired brass and cleaning up the work bench and.... Nahhh, that's getting too picky.....

[OS OK]

@ Tom Meyers . . . I think what we are talking about is a 'Poor mans Progressive Press' ... something set up to get faster rounds than a turret can get out but not racing to set any records. I don't have the auto anything on my LnL so it gets hand fed case and bullet, on top of that I bring pre-primed brass to it...as far as my RPH I have to account for the pre-priming if I want to know the number. I really don't care though. I get all I need and in the process & I don't load squibs because I take even more time to peer into every case I set a slug on even after that case got by the powder lockout die...even more time spent at it but in the end I enjoy the press and the process and I get to shoot a bunch!

Gsdelong,

Thank you Don, If I could leave a couple of last impressions, the first would be that I like the trade off of the plastic carrier cover as it makes the process of the case feeding considerably more reliable than the pro1000. Also the tapered pin that goes into the holes in the carrier plate virtually eliminates the problem I always had of the carrier plate becoming misaligned causing you to have the case off center and smashing and distorting them on the pro1000.

As I stated in my first post I use this press in a way a lot of people don't but that also speaks to it's versatility. I was able to resize, decap and expand about 500 cases an hour.

After priming and inspecting off press, I will determine if it works for me to complete the process, I have yet to determine if this will allow me to use a powder check die in a Charge, Check, Seat and Crimp 4 die configuration, so far I can not see which it can not happen.

I will share my experience.

[dverna]

gsdelong,

I was very harsh in my post after your review but it was about my frustration with Lee. As I like to say, "They can snatch defeat out of the jaws of victory!"

My background is Mechanical Engineering and I did a lot of product development. I see things that are so obviously (at least to me) wrong that I wonder what Lee is thinking. They get so close and then try to save pennies here and there. The perfect example is the die index buttons you mentioned. Those buttons seem to work on their other press but they saved $2 or less by eliminating them from this machine. Why?

I know two people who had Pro-1000's and could not get them to work reliably...They both bought Dillon 550's after months of frustration. I believe everyone would like a machine that works every time but that is not possible as everything gets a hiccup. As we add other functions, like case and bullet feeders, the chances of failure increases. A 1% difference in consistency means a lot. For example if the reliability of each operation (case feed, powder drop, bullet feed, primer feed, indexing) is 99.9%. Then a progressive will have a reliability of .999**5 - or 99.5%. That is about what I get from the Dillon 1050. It would be impractical to automate the 1050 (as some have done) if it were much worse. If another press is just a bit worse, at 98.9% for each operation, it has a reliability of .989**5 - or 94.6%. Acceptable to some but unacceptable to most.

This is why some reloaders do operations off the press. Their equipment is not reliable. With the biggest issue, at least with most presses, being the primer feed. Many Lee owners prime off the press as do a few Hornady owners. This Lee press eliminates the automatic primer feeder and that should help its performance. I hate having to manually prime on a progressive but it beats the heck out of dealing with a Mickey Mouse primer feed that does not work!!! I am willing to take that trade off for a machine that only costs $125! Lee made a good decision on this. But the rest of the machine needs to run at 99% or it is a non-starter for my desires.

I look forward to seeing your post when you run it as a progressive.

Again, great job on the first review and sharing your experience and thoughts.

No need for any apology, I work in the IT industry and at one time owned a software development company, so my perspective is a little different, it always amazed me the way that people could find new ways to use and new ways to crash software.

Cost is not the reason I purchased this press, but value may be, I basically was looking for an easy way to process my bulk brass. It was not until after I started using it for that, I decided it may be worth a go at progressive loading.

[kmw1954]

Another thank you to you guys for taking the time to write up this review with your thoughts and findings. Very informative and objective.

For many of the reasons mentioned I believe this press will find it's niche, especially to people that are looking to just advance from a single stage to something more productive for pistol loading. Yes I push the pistol loading part as I believe that is what this was basically designed for. So to complain that this will not stand up to the rigors of rifle loading is really asking this tool to do something it really wasn't designed to do. Same as the small Pro1000. The difference between these and the Dillon SDB is that Dillon tells you right up front that the press is only meant to load pistol calibers.

I also am one of the few that is loading on a broken Pro1000, I say broken because for me it just works as it was designed. Including on press priming but then I am not trying to crank out 300 rounds per hour like a drunk at the nickel slots. My press still works and I will be staying with it.

Also I was really expecting to see the new, improved, upgraded Pro1000 come out as a 4 station press to accommodate and compliment the new Value Line turret press. I say this because of experience trying to work up new loads on the progressive press and was under the impression that Lee was going to move away from the 3 hole turrets..

[Kenstone]

When I start a loading session on a progressive (I own several different designs) I size/prime 5 or 10 cases and set them aside for when I have a problem priming a case.
I remove that problem case and insert a pre-primed/sized case and continue on.
I posted this in another forum, and many remarked that they never thought of doing that, so I'm mentioning it here.
I know it sounds simple but it's very affective at keeping the loading process moving on, and you can estimate how many pre-primed cases you'll need based on previous sessions.
Also, I de-prime and tumble before loading as it keeps the smooge from gumming up the primer seating.

The 2018 Pro 1000 has a shot pin to locate the Shell Plate

Most previous priming problems on a Pro 1000 were traced to the index adjustment, and it's addressed in Vids at Lee, but owners never go there to find out, just get frustrated and give up priming on the Pro1000, then bash the press online, a shot pin has been added for 2018 to minimize this.

:mrgreen:

[dverna]

Kenstone,

Having a few pre-primed cases to address the priming issue is an excellent idea! I have a progressive shotshell reloader that will occasionally mis-feed a primer and I will use your idea.

[MAGA]

I called lee yesterday about the safety prime I have the old style round black ones. They confirmed that those will not work with this press so I ordered the new attle along with this press

I am in the same boat. I tried using my old primer but could not get it to work.

My new safety prime should get here today for me to experiment with.

I shimmed up the Safety Prime mounting bracket from my Classic Turret Press with washers until the dispenser just set flat on the primer arm ramp and must have just got lucky, as the dispenser actually worked more reliably than when on the 4 hole turret press.

Then I had the bright idea to order out a New Model bracket so that I could put the old bracket back on my Classic Turret press and just use the same dispenser and switch back and forth between presses.

I should have known that there was no way the bean counters at Lee would allow a cheap and simple solution like that to happen. The new Bracket does not work with the old dispenser. So the new Model Safety Prime setup will have to wait until next month's budget rollover.

[Kenstone]

A guy on THR had Safety Prime problems, even with the newest version.
Here's a link to his fix:

I don't think I would have welded it though, maybe just put a filler under the pin to keep it from moving back down.
:mrgreen:
Edit: after reading @redoubt post I went back to review the pics and he is in fact using a mismatch of priming parts.

I'm pretty sure he's using the old type Safety Prime. The feed arm is black. The newest version is grey.

Good Catch...
Yes, it seems he's using mixed components, old type Safety Prime, new mounting bracket, in his video.
Still a good fix though, as many who bought/own this press are attempting to use the older (black) Safety Prime they already have, and are not aware the newest design is needed.
I don't have a Breech Lock Pro (yet) but I'm very interested in it and follow many related threads on it.
Thanks for posting,
