I frequently comment on conversations that involve Lee progressives. In the past I've shunned then but since trying a Pro1000 I've been sold on it's ability to make lots of quality ammo fast.
That being said, I've line been a Lee Precision Fanboy. No apologies, their classic loader, turret, and now progressive have served me well. I always comment on how my pro1000 has been flawless since setting it up.
In the interest of full disclosure I must report a malfunction. While loading yesterday(somewhere in the neighborhood of 8-9k now) I had a round not eject from the shell plate. I backed it up and checked it and had a half seated primer. I say it to the side to fix later and kept going. The next did the same thing. Uh oh, it's the dreaded priming issues everyone talks about. What could be wrong? Will I need to call Lee and start replacing parts?
Nope, just had to remove the spent primer that fell on the base of the press and kept the carrier from bottoming out, lol. I wiped it off the base with my index finger and kept going. All was good.
