Hello folks I thought I would ask this question here because of the other threads concerning the Lee Pro 1000 and the new Lee Breech Lock Pro and get some honest feedback that is actually on topic..
I am looking at adding either a new Breech Lock Pro or a new 4 hole Value turret press to what I have already which is a Value 3 hole Turret with Auto Advance and a Lee Pro 1000. I use both of these presses regularly and they serve me well for what I am doing. All I load is pistol and all I have been using are Lee 3 die pistol set dies. So I do not need the extra strength or headspace the LCT offers.
The reason for looking at the new press is because I recently added a Tanfoglio Witness 45acp to the fold and the chamber on this gun is so tight that the only way I can get reliable seating is by using a Lee Factory Crimp Die. This die has 100% solved the seating/chambering problem. The problem is that the 2 presses I have do not allow the use of a 4th die in progression. Also because I already have everything to do this as far as dies, measures, shell holders/plates all I would need is to add the 4 hole press. Be it the new Value turret of the Breech Lock. The new Value press I can get for under $90.00 and the Breech with a shell plate for under $125.00.. The press will most likely be dedicated to the 45acp round as everything else I have runs just fine with 3 dies..
