I have a RCBS Pro 2000 and used their warranty service once which was great with no charge for parts, HOWEVER, I have had the same service from Dillon on my 550 and 650 when parts were needed. Both companies offer great customer service, never dealt with Hornady but sure their service is top...

I've owned one in the past and was very satisfied with it, very inexpensive for caliber changes. I do believe 200 rounds an hour will be pushing it, I went to progressives for volume. You can't go wrong purchasing one, be careful with the rotating plastic collar on the shaft, it will break easy...

I would like to add to your list a tool that has came in handy for me numerous times, a kinetic bullet puller, mistakes do happen and need to be undone. I started with the LCT which was a great learning tool, didn't care for the powder measure tho. This hobby has progressed to an addiction for...

All I can add is when you start shooting your reloads, if you get just a pop, STOP shooting, unload your gun and check the barrel for a stuck round (SQUIB) and remove obstruction before proceeding. This I can speak from experience when I first started reloading, it was a real scare. If you do as...

I also have one for each tool head (5), I have a hard time seeing the powder in my Pro 2000 and so far, they haven't let me down, 100% trust.

Friday, a Dan Wesson Valor and tomorrow. a S & W 9mm Shield to join my Glock 27 and 23 in the rotation in EDC.

Thanks, I'll also use small mag primers when using H110. I've used small pistol primers when loading Bullseye and Unique but this will be my 1st experience with H110.

Glad to hear your success with H110. I was fortunate to come across 8# a while back for the purpose of loading 357 mag. I cast 1000 ea 148 gr lwc and 158 gr lswc and need to start loading them, did you use small pistol or small pistol mag primers? I have each but would rather use small pistol...

I put my name on the Starline notification list and 2 months later they notified me and I bought 1000 for $138.50 with free shipping, to me, a great deal.

I know this thread is dated but hope you are still pleased with your purchase. I ordered a Dan Wesson Valor yesterday and used this thread to help in my decision making process (should be in my hands next week). I feel I have made the right choice, never held one thus never shot one either, just...

I had a LCT and really liked it, used it as trading material, replaced it with the T-7. I use the T-7 with the upgraded primer system to size, deprime and prime all my brass. This T-7 is as solid as an anvil, my Pro 2000 will go before it does. All this said, I couldn't find any faults with the...

I paid $24.99/lb plus tax shipped to the local Bass Pro Shop in October. I was out and would have paid the same price you paid so I bought 8 lbs. I just ordered 26 lbs of assorted powder from Powder Valley which averaged less than $20./LB, I am now stocked for the near future (I had already...

Again, thanks for everyones input. I am eyeing the Pro Chucker 5 & 7, looks very promising especially with the capability of going from a 5 station to a 7 later on (the 7 is pricey for my budget at this time). I didn't realize the LNL had powder spillage also, I thought the half indexing...

I have the RCBS Pro 2000 auto index with the APS priming system but use my Redding T-7 turret press to resize, deprime and prime my brass. The T-7 has the tube system which I like better than the APS system, better feel and I check each pc of brass for proper seating of primer. With this said, I...

Thanks for the replies. Higgite I won't be getting rid of the Pro 2000, I do like the APS priming system, the powder spillage not so much. The LNL AP will be an addition to the PRO 2000 and Redding T-7 turret I have. These presses are mounted on a solid, well built table with very, very little...
