3 to 4 hole conversion
Thank you all for your responses. I bought the Lee 1000 sight unseen and was told it looked like it was brand new and it indeed does. When I received it, it was in a box and the head wasn't on it and I didn't realize there were only three holes in the head. Never the less, it was bought worth the money and I can use it as a dedicated press for 45 ACP using it with either 3 or 4 holes. I do prime all my cartridges using a RCBS universal hand primer and prefer priming in that manner. I also do have 2 SS presses and a 6 hole turret press and have exclusively used RCBS in the past. I do have a Lee crimping die for 45 ACP and find it easier using it to crimp with and would like to continue using it. My introduction to reloading was back in 1963 using a plastic hammer and a Lee die loading 243 and soon there after a Mec loader for shotgun shells and I was hooked.
I would still be most interested to hear how anyone who has done the 3 to 4 head conversion either liked or disliked it. I don't really want to reinvent the wheel, I just want to see if I can make it a little rounder.
