Agree with you on bottle neck, press is to finicky

Excellent, great idea for the case feeder!

For the powder check die I use a Lee sizer/decapping die loosen the decapping nut so the pin can move up and down slide a small o ring on decapping pin so it doesn't fall thru die adjust o ring to your powder charge and that's it does the same as the RCBS powder check die

super !!!!!

Why did you buy this over the powder lock out die? EDIT: yeah the powder check die is 20 something dollars cheaper but i rather spend the extra 20 plus dollars to save my butt squib loads and catastrophic failure from a double charge or no charge.

I started with Lee a long time ago, love them.

Good eye on that. I never noticed that. I had the same problem on my old Loadmaster, so I sliced a little off the 'wings' of the slider so it can't grab the shell but it still has enough to guide the shell. Liked and subbed.

riser, i use a 2x6 wood 2 12" and 2 5" worked out great for me.

Thank you for the information. That was good content. Because I will buy the six-pack Pro 6000. I like to see a couple more views or angles of the part that you made

Great Mod. I love stuff like this. Thanks

Hi, I have just issue with OAL. 9mm Luger come 28.70 and other 29.00. is it normal? I would to change seater die lee to rcbs

There is now a better case feeder system. Look for video from Grimniner 3D. Petter has a feeder that rests on the top plate rather than the ram.

What progressive press do you recommend for rifle? Loadmaster?

I like that motor mount!

Ótima ideia, funciona bem melhor que a peça original, parabéns!

Good review! I have an opportunity to buy a new Loadmaster for about $125 less than a new six pack. Would you go that route today? Money isn’t the issue mind you, I just like how robust the Loadmaster looks. I load 9mm, .38 Spc, .40, 30-30, and .556. Primarily going to load the pistol cartridges though. Thanks!

This looks to be a terrific frustration reliever. Why hasn't Lee come out with this? MY .357 cases fly all over the place. Used the smaller opening and verified with the penny.

Hello! Still awesome?

well guys I have good news I tried everything but nothing work , But I realize the surface ot the slide mettal was very rough so I sand it a 400 paper sand them a 2000 paper sand to smooth the surface and a now it look like a mirror and now it feed the shell to the plate very smooth no more miss feeding

Thank you for your information but my issue is the slide don't take the brass all he way to he shell plate got stuck side way don't know what to do

My experience with Lee Precision is they put individual parts numbers in their instruction manuals. These numbers should then be replaceable through Lee.

You could shorten the handle a bit.

Agreed. I love Lee products. I started with a classic turret press and cant count how many thousands of rounds I’ve loaded on it. Lee has been good to me and I wont change. I’m getting ready to buy the six pack pro and looking forward to set up.

Thanks dude very instructive ! Happy New Year 2024 from Switzerland

Hard to focus when camera is moving every where

This seems over engineered to me.

Is switching calibers easy on these lee presses? Also I thought about making this my first progressive press. Is this a bad choice? I plan to do .45 acp and 9mm first. I thought about a single stage press for 7.62 x 39 and 7.62 x 54.

I wish the drive clutch was stronger. I’ve had simple issues that caused the cross in the driver to strip and indexing to fail. It works very well, just my 2 cents.

I agree. No more rifle on the 6000. This is NOT "one press to rule them all". I also have alot of problems with the primer arm getting stuck, then the spring buckles, then the press crushes the spring, then I need a new spring. I think the problem is traceable to metal/plastic interface and those to parts getting misaligned and jamming.

Great tutorial on the Lee 6000. I have a hodge-podge of Lee, RCBS, Redding Hornady Lyman products that work better than each their competitors in my price range. I currently have the Lee 4-hole Turret Press and I believe I'm ready for a progressive press and this appears to fill the bill. The non-kit press option, does it come with the primer feeder section and case feeder? I have the dies with the breech locks, the Lee Pro Disk for powder. I have no problem buying the shells plates and placing bullets myself for now. Thanks again.

This is a hard watch, hopefully there's more Lee Loading Videos.

Holy crap I have a 6000 pro was trying to think of a way to stop the shells from falling great invention will be doing this myself glad I clicked on this video

I did put that door on the case drop works good

Problem with 300blk out case hanging up going into shellplate any suggestions?

I enjoyed watching your reloading process, I'm always looking for mods to make my process easier, and that bar looks like it helps a lot. I wonder if you can shorten it a bit and it would shorten the stroke just a tad without messing anything up? Because it looks like your arm is kind of high starting out, and it looks like it ends way down by your knees when sitting it'd probably be a lot more comfortable with a slightly shorter stroke. As far as your case pusher goes I would suggest maybe putting some 1000 or even 2000 grit sandpaper around a pen, or dowel rod and giving it a light sanding in the part of the pusher that curves around the case holding it from tipping to the sides, to get any potential burrs out. If that didn't work I would be tempted to glue a super thin piece of slick metal flashing or something like that in there to 1 act as a slicker surface and 2 to force it a tiny bit further forward due to it's thickness. Great video! I enjoy watching people like you putting out content helping us in the reloading community!

I'm fairly sure NotAnExpert@mshaw290808mi 7 years ago is the earliest mod in that nature out there. It was for the lee pro 1000, but it'd still work on the 6000 the same. I like your adaptation of it better though, because it is a bit stronger and easier to make if you ask me! Thanks for sharing! I plan to make one your way to see how well it works for me!

Thanks, that solved my problem

Doggy video bomb...😃

Hi, here is an updated version for 223 case feeder. It does not need the flapper you made. Let me know what you think? kzbin.infojPV-eD7OXg0

I use the 6000 for my 223. But I prep my cases on a single stage press then run them on the 6000 . Primer powder bullet. Comes out nice

Dont have this press. But Genius idea.

what do you do for case prep for 223 obviously I would like to do all of the stages de-prime and resize, prime, powder, seat, and crimp so with the cases would you trim and then lube then put in the case feeder? and is a headspace gauge needed?

Just wondering I thought the dies were carbide? Why would you have to lube? Thanks for info

I have been using a Loadmaster for years as well as Pro 1000's I Am expecting a 6000 to be delivered in 3 days. I have always deprimed, cleaned, polished and sized my bottle neck brass in separate steps before they ever went on the 1000 or Loadmaster. Pistol brass I just deprime and clean and then size on the press I'm reloading on. I will follow the same procedure with the 6000. Reloading is something I enjoy and don't mind the couple of extra steps. I am lazy though in certain ways. I cast my own 9mm .30 and .45 bullets and hate sizing, especially as I do it twice. Once after casting and again after epoxy coating. So I use a Lee single stage press that I've added a pneumatic cylinder to and mounted upside down. Just have to drop a bullet into the die and move a control lever about 1 inch. (see here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpqunHxuYs6nn5Y)

What did you make the sleeve out of?

Love this.

I like the 6000, I hot one of the original batches and was happy to have that opportunity to use it. For me I prefer using my Lee Classic Turret press. Yes its short 2 holes for dies but its a workhorse, and I can produce nearly as many rounds because its in serial and not parallel. Easier to focus. When the 6000 is running smooth its a beast. The 6 holes is very cool. Using a powder checker and bullet feeder is pretty nice. The auto drum is quite good. I loaded probably 1100 .223 with it. For .308 I am using my turret press.

Your videos sold me on the Six Pack. Its a much more affordable machine than a Dillon with the same features (auto-index, case feeder, bullet feeder). It's my first progressive. Setup was very simple and I cranked out 100 round of 9mm very quickly compared to a single stage. Tested the cartridges out on the range this weekend and all of them worked just fine. What an incredible machine!

Good job

Having problem 220 grain flat bottom bullets dropping on cartridge from mini bullet feed. Wants to fall off when I cycle the press. Maybe need boat tail bullets? Any suggestions
