There are always those who have said, when it comes to machinery, "the only kind of equipment to own is of the highest quality and durability." When it comes to cars, I guess all those people must own Mercedes-Benz. No? Well, then, I guess there must be other criteria.
I agree with a previous post. Lee Engineering did for reloading what Henry Ford did for automobiles when he invented the Model T. The auto industry pre-Ford made intricate, heavy, highly engineered and superbly crafted automobiles- and no one but the rich could afford them.
Lee products can be spartan, but generally have great and innovative engineering, and get the job done. My two Lee Pro1000s produce quality ammo, despite the fact that I threw away the case feeder and put the cases in one at a time.
The advice in a previous post to just buy a Pro1000 and leave it set up for one caliber is good. My two are left set up for small primer / large primer, and I can swap out a shell plate and tool head in about 10 minutes.
I have three Pro1000 tips: 1) keep it clean, 2) keep it lubed- I use 30W motor oil, and 3) don't try to be a speed demon, no matter what you read or hear.
For those who may turn "blue" upon reading this post, I also own and load thousands of rounds on my Dillon XL 650, and don't feel the least bit "disloyal." I know from experience that ALL of my presses produce great ammunition, if I do my part.
