I am now on my fourth play-through of this video and I have to say I’m so grateful for the time and effort you have clearly put into this content for us. I have been able to troubleshoot the primer tray, spent-primer collection tube, and stage-two powder-spillage by taking my time through your video and paying close attention to how and why you work in the order you do. Your content is by far the clearest and most comprehensive presentation of the subject matter I’ve found online. You’re easy to understand and easy to follow along with. You helped me pick the right loader, inventory the contents, assemble it, and troubleshoot the issues I’ve encountered with mine. Thank you again.

I have used a Pro 1000 for about 15 years and have found it to be most rewarding and also most frustrating. This video would have made my experience more of the first type and less of the second during the early days. One step I would add, especially when using new brass or range pick-ups is to plunk test the output before going full bore high volume. All brass is not created equal. Some will stick during depriming/resizing and some will seem to be perfect once finished but will not fit into the chamber, causing failures to feed in auto loaders. I now separate brass by head stamp and reset the press when changing brands. Good video. Thanks.

@@gabe321 If you're going to run rifle through this, it's advised to remove the indexing rod and manually index the shellplate. I run 223 through it and what happens with long-ish rifle (say....anything 2" or longer) is the shellplate will start to index before the bullet is fully out of the seating die. By pulling the rod, you'll be able to fully lower the carrier without the shellplate moving. You can then index by hand.

Lee Pro 1000 was my second press, 1st was the Lee Anniversary kit. In the past 5 years I’ve loaded over 100k on the pro 1000, split between 45ACP for my STI Spartan and 9mm for my CZ SP01. I still use my Anniversary Kit for 223 and 357 mag. In my opinion, Lee is the price performer. Nice to see the improvements on the locking rings and spent primers.

Nice video Gavin! I've been using my LEE 1000 since the mid 80's. I've loaded a LOT of 45ACP, 40S&W, 9mm, 357 mag, and 44 mag through that little press. :-) I do use a close-up camera that is about the size of a cigarette mounted on a small bracket to the head, which looks down on the charged brass as it sits in position #3. I can hook up the camera to either my laptop or phone to confirm there is powder in the casing. I also added a primer detector gizmo I made up, with an LED on the body of the press that lights when there is proper seating of the primer. That's saved my butt a few times when I've run out of primers and didn't notice! I've also used the bullet feeder, although at times I just place each bullet by hand since it seems to take more time to stop and load the bullet feeder, than simply grab a bullet and place it by hand on each case. lol

I have to thank you with HUGE thanks for this video. I think it either would have taken me forever to get this setup or maybe not even at all without your directions. My story starts with the machine getting all setup behind me on my workbench and for 5 months it was itching to be used, I waited patiently to finally find primers. Then immediately started setting it up watching your video, which I had found and watched when I first got the machine. Your video is FANTASTIC, the only thing that I wish was more clear was how to choose the die size. I couldnt find anything related to how many grains to use, except for the bullet being 115 grain, but thats not the same measure as the 6 grain number you had on your box. I ended up going to Hornadys website for the bullets and they have a calculator. I weighed it as you showed and realized my scale wasnt accurate enough so I had to buy a new one. Another day later I think I got it and made 10 test rounds. I just hope its correct. I'll test fire them soon. Anyway my story unfortunately doesn't end there. Once I got it all working as you show in the video I decided to add the bullet feeder (btw the casing feeder connection is crap, I think Lee could have easily done better). So I added the bullet feeder. Tested a cycle and the return chain snapped. Gah! I ordered a new one. In the mean time I used a toilet flusher chain, which didnt really work so well. So after adding the bullet feeder I had to recalibrate stage 3 again. I was never able to get the bullet to feed and stapped the toilet chain too. More testing and playing around and making a mess I gave up on the feeders and said, let me just get used to it manually first. So I removed the feeder, recalibrated all 3 stages, put the casing in, lifted it to remove the primer, lowered it and the primer return metal tube came down but the tray did not. I had to pry it off. Little more playing around and figured out that problem, reseated the metal bar or tube whatever you want to call it, tightened the alen screw, recalibrated the die, and was back to testing. New casing, primer wouldnt come out. Lowered the die a little still no dice. After a half an hour of frustration and watching your video over and over, I finally realized the top of the die looked like it was sticking out a little to far, I hammered (carefully) it back down some and I think I'm back in business. Now I just need to wait 2 more days for my return chain :( Moral of the story, get used to a new machine before you try to add to it, and without watching your video 100 times over I think I would have thrown the machine out the window! Well wish me luck, I'll make a few more test rounds once I get it fully working again and give it a shot ;)

I just got my press in the mail yesterday. I bought it from Brownell'a for $205 with the .45 ACP dies. It was on backorder andvit's taken 8 months to get it. I'm glad I waited. They're now going for $335 at least. This video is excellent for someone like me who knows next to nothing about reloading. I also have the die set for 300 AAC Blackout (I have 2 rifles and a pistol chambered in 7.62 x 35, so this is gonna be great. My survival plan has always been to have plenty of guns and ammo. With that, I can get anything else I need. I'm pretty sure after watching this video, I'll be pretty good at this. At least I know I won't accidently blow up a car full of kids and water bottles lol!

I started off with a Lee Pro 1000. Used it for about 6 months and got so frustrated with it I didn't reload for another 7 years. Fast-forward to today and I'm reloading with 3 different Dillon 550B's and an RCBS Rock Chucker. Had I known how much better and easier using the Dillon presses was, I would have spent the extra cash back then and been done with it. It's the old saying, "buy once, cry once". I'm not shitting on Lee presses. If your budget won't ever allow you to get a better press, then, fine. Go ahead and get one. They will do the job. They're just cumbersome and finnicky to use. Especially turret presses. Even though I have to manually index the 550B's, they're MUCH easier to clear a jam or fix a problem when it happens. There's no way to go backwards on the Lee turret presses. Also, getting brass out of the turret when a serious jam happens is next to impossible! Again, buy once, cry once. You really won't regret it!

@@bennybarrett01 Hey mate, are you using Lee dies? The case mouth expander (The bit inside the die body) activates the powder measure when the shell plate (With a case in it) reaches full stroke, if you are not seeing any case mouth expansion, you may have to adjust your die downward until you get the desired amount to place a projectile into the mouth without it tipping over, this 'should' solve all your issues. My set-up came with the Auto-disc powder measure, but I have heard of others coming with the drum style powder measure, you may be missing a component? I simply screwed out the top ring of my expander die and replaced it with the powder measure, leaving the insert inside. The top ring that comes installed with the dies out of the box is only if you are using a single stage press. Hope this helps somewhat mate.

I think Lee recommends that you run a whole hopper of powder through before trying to meter. This is to coat the inside with graphite from the powder I think. I have an older Pro1000, and have had to fiddle with it a lot to get it working (I inherited it). It is missing the feed tubes so I have to manually feed cases. I have had to disassemble, slightly modify, and tweak the primer feed tube. There has to be a whole stack of primers in there for them to shake down properly; as the supply runs down at the end of a session I have to manually push them as the case presses against the detector. Other than that, it's a pretty solid machine!

My main gripe with the pro1000 is the 3 stage capability. I feel the 4 stage Breech Lock pro is a better press if you plan on using other die brands. You need an extra powder die to make up for the lack of a powder thru expanding die.

Deprime & size first, then tumble/polish the brass. Now return to the press: Load the clean brass into the case dispenser & (1) clear the flash hole w/o resizing, i.e., by adjusting the Resizing Die or w/ a Universal Decapping Die (2) Then, as normal, expand the case mouth & add powder (3) seat the bullet & finish the round as normal. Yes, specialized Taper Crimp or Roll Crimp may require another step...

Looks like the priming system has been fixed/updated. I had one about 10 years ago and the on press priming was a POS. It caused me to go BLUE. Currently have some dedicated Pro 4000 and now they are coming out with a Pro 6000.

I run the loadmaster. It was a challenge getting it dialed in. Lots of primer inconsistencies. Had to get a new primer section from lee. Once you learn its challenges it works but you have to be willing to tinker. I've wondered if other brands are the same

Another upgrade is the fixed indexing pin for the shell plate. In the older model, the shell plate could get very slightly out of adjustment which would cause primers to misfeed.

Exactly- that was really the only trouble I had with my first Pro 1000, and the pin indexing has fixed that....

I finally got a Lee Loadmaster. It's awesome with the case and bullet feeder. I used to reload with the Lee hand press and it took hours. Now I can reload a range day's worth of ammo an hour before I go to the range. :) It was Gavin who inspired me to think beyond the hand press. His videos made all the difference for me.

Known people to have trouble with powder getting into auto primer feeder. Otherwise have heard good press for $$. Also look for old typewriter stands. Good for presses, and miter (chop) saws plus. Picked several of these out of dumpsters for free and paid $ 50 to $2.00 at garage sales and thrift shops since no one know what they are. Right size for many uses and most have retractavle wheels so they can be moved around.

Ill say this. At least your press in first part was a solid mounted press. In most of the loading videos out there their presses flop around like they couldn't read the instructions that came with their press (no matter what brand). Good show.
