Lee Pro 1000 Press Caliber .40 SW
The Lee Pro 1000 is a certified three-station progressive reloading press specifically engineered for metallic cartridge handloading. This press offers a highly efficient and ergonomic platform designed to streamline the entire reloading process, making it ideal for precision shooters and reloaders who demand reliability and speed.
Its progressive design allows the operator to perform multiple reloading steps simultaneously with each pull of the lever, significantly increasing throughput while maintaining consistent cartridge quality. The press is engineered for ease of use, requiring the operator only to manually seat the projectileunless equipped with the optional automatic bullet feederwhile all other critical operations such as case sizing, powder charging, and primer seating are executed automatically within the cycle.
This latest iteration of the Lee Pro 1000 features a quick-change bushing system, enabling rapid caliber swaps without the need for extensive disassembly or recalibration. This modularity is particularly advantageous for reloaders working with multiple calibers, enhancing operational flexibility and reducing downtime.
The alternative loading sequence incorporated into the design ensures that one fully assembled cartridge is produced with each lever stroke, optimizing workflow and minimizing the risk of double charges or incomplete assemblies. Safety is paramount; the press is engineered so that powder and primers are only accessible when a case is properly positioned in the loading station, significantly reducing the risk of accidental ignition or misfeeds.
Included in the kit:
- Carbide sizing die for .40 Smith & Wesson caliber, ensuring precise case resizing and extended die life.
- Dedicated case feed hopper for efficient case staging and feeding.
- Primer feed tube for reliable and consistent primer delivery.
- Powder measure designed for accurate and repeatable powder charges.
Please note that the kit does not include the optional case funnel, which can be added to facilitate easier case handling during the reloading process.
Overall, the Lee Pro 1000 .40 SW press represents a robust, safe, and user-friendly solution for metallic cartridge handloaders seeking to maximize efficiency and precision in their reloading operations.
