Due to bulging of cases from generous chambers that prevent full-length resizing, some Pro 1000 users resize/deprime all the cases first (fairly fast using the case feeder) and then QC the resized cases so they all pass the case gage or the tightest chamber barrel they have and toss/recycle all the cases that did not pass.
Then do either of the following for "pseudo" 4 station reloading - this way, you KNOW that all the finished rounds will fully chamber and allow the slide to return to full battery (if you don't, you may start a thread like "At the range, when I released the slide, it did not fully chamber and now it is stuck and I can't pull it back - What happened?"
):
Station 1 - Flare case mouth/powder charge
Station 2 - Seat bullet
Station 3 - Taper crimp
Station 1 - Flare case mouth/powder charge
Station 2 - Seat bullet/Taper crimp
Station 3 - Factory Crimp Die
Some resizing dies have larger radius die opening (like Dillon 40S&W etc.) and won't allow full-length resizing all the way down to the case base of Glocked/bulged cases and will either push-through resize or use undersized dies (like FCD/U-dies) all the cases first then reload as usual -

If you are shooting generous chamber barrels (Glock, etc.) then you may be OK as bulged cases not fully resized may fully chamber in the barrel but if you are shooting tight chamber barrels (Sig 1911, Lone Wolf, etc.) then the bulged cases not fully resized will not fully chamber in the barrel. If this happens on a match stage, there goes your stage time/score ...
Call me OCD, but I also drop check every round ... and I don't have any issue at the range with failure to fully chamber even when shooting larger diameter lead loads in very tight chambered Sig/Lone Wolf barrels.

I tried the U-Die, it is like a bandaid on a leaking Dam. Sure it saved a few rejects but I still had lots. The cure is one of the following: Redding GRX (recommended), Lee Push Thru [FCD/Bulge Buster], or CasePro 100.
I load only about 20k rounds a year. I use a CasePro 100 and on 40 the GRX. I drop check every round every time. I find maybe one or 2 in a 1000 that has some minor defect, that could be the jam that spoils the match. One of the things I find are cases that split when the bullet is seated
