Yeah, posted my setup experience with the Lee Pro1000 over in the reloading forum. A little frustrating at times, but I think I have a good idea of what I need to do to get things working smoothly. www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=1&f=9&t=659796 |
I'm gonna get one for .223 later, but I'm gonna modify it a little. Since I still have my singles, I'll tumble-size-tumble with the single, and prime with the hand prime. I'll pull the sizer die out of the turret, and put my FCD in its place. That way, I can fill the tubes with primed brass, then charge-seat-crimp on the progressive. |
Darrin, Can you email me those pics? |

Well I will say that my pics arent great and they are not of a press set up since my dillon arrived but... hopefully they help Interchangeable base for my countertop  Modified shell eject arm, I found the silly screw never worked right  Tired of jamming completed shells so I got out the saw Especially important with cast loads in my 45 colt (topheavy and would cam over the side instead of down the ramp)  Extra drop chute neccesary after the trim with the saw. No the cases dont get derailed as they travel down. Future plans include threading the additional rod so it is not so dependant on the exact angle. I have done this modification to three of these. This particular one with the extra ramp has loaded about 4K of 45 colt. The uncut one fist pictured has about 5K of 45 acp and some 9mm My lube of choice for the ram is ATF.  |
