Description
Lee Pro 1000 Press 45ACP #90638
All other procedures are automated except for adding a bullet and pulling the lever. With each pull of the lever, one loaded cartridge is released. Every action is carried out automatically. Primers, like powder, are only fed if there is a case present. There are no wasted primers or powder spills. Only one case can be loaded at a time using the alternate loading sequence. Makes learning easy for the first-time user and great for fine adjustments or experimenting. You can start reloading good ammunition minutes after the press is bolted down.
Change calibers in just 3 minutes. For 45 ACP, Lee Pro 1000 progressive 3-hole reloading kit. Press dies (full length, powder through expanding, and bullet seating dies), 3-hole turret, #2 shell plate, Pro Auto-Disk powder measure, large case feeder, and priming system are all included. This press only accepts the 3-hole turret.
