I’m not giving up on my LeePro 4000, it’s going to make a great .45 colt, 38 Cowboy action Black Powder Only progressive press!Not much to add that hasn't been said.
Pro 4000 is a big NO for me, it's the extra step using that pez dispenser priming thing.

Filing the powder measure flush to the disc, get a better seal for more consistent drops...

That and check that the drop tube is pressed into the body all the way to the shoulder, some measures were shipped that were not.

Priming problems on the Pro 1000
I have traced ALL my priming problems (on 4 different progressives) to, 2 things, debris from DE-PRIMING carried over to the priming station, and crimped primers being sucked back in while DE-PRIMING carried over to the priming station.
Both eliminated by DE-PRIMING all cases (and chamfering the crimps when I find them) before wet tumbling, before loading.
I too suggest waiting for the Pro 6000 called the Six-Pack by Lee...
