These are Lee dies, Hornady 55 gr sp with flat base, and I don't know about the seating stem. I tightened the seating die 1/4 past snug per instructions. I think it was just barely snug to the shell holder. This helped some. I operated the press fully loaded and measured each cartridge as it...

I got up and running today. Loading 223 as that is what I've been working on lately. Set up is station 1 autodrum 2 flashlight to check powder 3 seating die 4 FCD. First issue was the case feeder dropping multiple cases on occasion. I am using the riser and the small hole set up. It was set...

My ABL press kit arrived and if first impressions are worth anything this is a very good addition. It arrived on the third day from placing order with Titan. As always with Lee it was very well packaged. I am impressed with how heavy it is and the indexing is smoother than I expected. I had...

I really have no expectation of it working with any stick powder. I'm working up a load with TAC for that very reason. Looks like 24.0 with 55 jacketed soft point will be close. With 24.5 velocity went down. 223 of course. Titan has already shipped my press. I did have to go 44 mag package...

My drum had a small shinny spot and the rest was dull with ridges in it. It is over one year old and has the red hopper. I just got it out and used 500 grit and went to work on it. I smoothed it down so that I could barely feel ridges with my thumbnail. I put graphite on it and tested with...

I've got mine on the way with several shellplates and extra bushings for my popular calibers. This kit comes with the autodrum. I already have one and have given up on it due to leaking ball powder. I prefer the autodisk measure. I see that when the autodisk is used on other Lee progressives...

That's some good ole southern engineering. I think that is some of the draw to owning and operating Lee equipment. I have a pop sickle stick under the indexing rod on my LCT. It really quietens down the clank of that rod. The looks bothered me a little at first but I got over it.

WeekendReloader do you use the steel bushings mentioned above or the aluminum? Also, I read somewhere about using 6s shell plate for 9mm. It didn't explain but I expect it requires some modification. Must address the problem that you stated.

Thanks to all. So at least a couple of you use the steel bushings with the addition of a lock ring. Noted. I assumed there was only the aluminum (colored) option available. Does the 1000 have a offset ram? Is the 1000 ram the same size as the ABL?

Well I was hoping you two would chime in. It seems you both picked up this press early on and have posted a lot about it. I started with the LCT and until lately that's been my only press. I used to load "start to finish" in one turn four pulls, but now have began to deprime, size, wet...

I've narrowed my search down to a LM or an ABLP. I've read thru the in depth threads here on the ABL press and have some questions. I have other Lee presses and have been very satisfied with them. My attraction to this press is the solid tool head vs the turret. I'm more concerned about...

My wife. This is on her facebook page. I copied the link. Enjoy.

We did a beaver dam that way last Spring. The kids get a kick out of it.

Russt, It sounds like one powder measure does not fit all. I was leaning toward the PPM but I have been using H380 in 22-250 (friends press). This gives me a little more to think about. Thanks, Don

Balrog I was concerned about the amount of "play" in a turret press. Any time there are moving parts there will be slack, regardless of the manufacture. I understand the dies need to be adjusted slightly tighter to compensate for the difference. I am choosing the turret over the single...

I was planning to buy the Lee 50th anniversary kit, but the Classic turret looks so much better. Many reviews on the Classic turret are almost all good, so I am going to buy the kit from Cabelas for $190 and free shipping. This looks like a great deal. I will be reloading mostly rifle. I...

I was just about to buy the Lee Breech Lock Challenger Kit. It did not mention a rubber mallet. What is that for?

Got it. Thanks for the explanation.
