Lee Pro 1000 Progressive Press Kit 223 Remington

[jasons85gt]

Does anyone have one and what do you think of it? I've been using my Forster Co-Ax Single Stage Press to do 223 and it takes forever to when doing a lot need a new setup for bulk 223. Thanks for any information.

Wore mine out after about 250,000 rounds. Hard to beat it for the money.

Upgraded to a Dillon 1050 after I went commercial.

Works great for the value.
Keep an eye on your primer shute when running low.

Get an extra head to just run a resizer/decapper for your first stage.
Process all your brass, clean and trim, then swap heads and leave first stage empty.
Then proceed with primers, powder, bullets as a second operation.

Had one. worked OK but had a lot of problems with powder running everywhere.

That's right! I made a new powder activator funnel since Lee couldn't understand what was wrong and kept sending me the same piece of kit.
The funnel and taper is not sized right for a 223/556 case mouth, power everywhere.
Made mine with a .20cal hole.

Good call.
