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 though we are unable to upgrade our older systems. booooo

whaddya think?

I wish someone would make some aftermarket parts for them.

I want to like this new press.
They have resolved the previous models issues.
The unresolved issue is (3) die stations.

I like a Lyman M die for cast boolits.
I also like the Lee FCD.

So I would have to
1- size & deprime
2- Lyman M die & to!e
3- empty

Then in Turret #2:
1- Use powder measure in this station. This method is how you use a Lee Powder Measure on a turret press. No safety chain.
2- Place & seat bullet. Not an ideal location to place bullet. So probably set the bullet on the case as it comes out of the powder measure before it indexes.
3- Lee FCD.

So it is awkward but can be done.

The Load Master has (5) stations and #2 is perfect for the Lyman M Die.
