Well, I just checked my logs and as of right now, I have loaded 140,076 rounds on my Pro2000. I say as of right now, because as soon as I get done cruising the net, I have another 300 rnds of 357mag to load. I am trying to load 300 to 500 rnds a night to get caught up. I have about 30,000 pieces of brass that are tumbled and ready to go.
So, what can I say about the press. It wears in very nicely. Once you get used to it, it works very very well. I use mostly (over 95%) pre-loaded cci primer strips which I buy in bulk from PowderValley out of OK. I usually order between 20,000 and 40,000 primers at a whack so it is reasonable on the shipping with HAZMAT charges.
I have an early 2000 press that has had the main "table" or base plate holder replaced. It was slightly machined off, so small pistol primers were slightly off center. The new plate is still wearing in, (only has about 30,000 rnds out of it) so it is just really smoothing up. I find that it works very well with a small micrometer for the uniflow and a powder baffle. I have no problems dispensing powder as longs as I am consistent.
I use a two hadned approach. Right hand turns the baseplate while the left goes for a case and bullet. I examine the case as it goes into the plate and then check the powder charge. I use a lamp from target to shine right down into the case and clamps on the back of the press. I then seat the bullet and cycle the handle.
When I am loafing along, 300 rnds takes about 45 minutes from start to into MTM boxes with labels on them. I try not to rush it, but I find a rhythm develops quickly and I have a good time at it.
I am happy to say (nock on wood) no popped primers yet, no double charges (thank god) and no "no" powder charges.
I crimp seperate to bullet seat on my revolvers and use a LEE FCD die for all auto rounds. I do not use a powder lock out die or powder checker die, but I have to admit I am concerned about that. I am thinking about getting a lockout die for 357mag and 38 special when I load them and use then use the uniflow and primering station as the expansion and priming station. This opens up slot 3 for the powder checker die. I would only due this for tightgroup powder and 357mag/38 special because it is very hard to see the powder or a double charge. 9mm, 10mm, 357sig etc, whats the point, a double charge will spill.
All in all it is a good press. Some day I should take a picture of all of the primer stips I have. I am starting to fill my second 5 gallon drum full of them!
