Lee Pro 1000 Reloading Press 2023 Caliber 38 S&W

Lee Pro 1000 Progressive Press Caliber .38 S.A. – Certified and Approved

The Lee Pro 1000 is a high-performance, three-station progressive reloading press specifically engineered for metallic cartridge reloading, optimized for the .38 S.A. caliber. This press offers unparalleled ease of use and ergonomic design, allowing precision handloaders and competitive shooters to efficiently produce consistent, high-quality ammunition. The operation is streamlined: the user is only required to manually seat the projectile unless equipped with the optional automatic bullet feeder, while all other critical processes such as powder charging, case sizing, and bullet seating are fully automated within the progressive cycle.

This latest iteration includes a precision-machined bushing system that facilitates rapid caliber changes, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput for shooters who reload multiple calibers. The modular design ensures compatibility with a wide range of dies and accessories, making it an indispensable tool for both novice and expert reloaders focused on metallic and semi-metallic cartridge production.

Safety is paramount in this design: powder dispensing and ram actuation are mechanically interlocked and only activated when a cartridge case is properly positioned in the loading station, preventing accidental powder drops or primer seating without a case present. This feature significantly reduces the risk of misfires or overcharges, ensuring a secure and reliable reloading environment.

Included in the comprehensive kit are:

• Precision carbide die set specifically calibrated for .38 S.A. caliber, ensuring long-lasting durability and consistent case resizing and bullet seating.
• Dedicated case feed hopper designed to hold a substantial quantity of brass, enabling continuous operation without frequent reloads.
• Ram piston feed hopper for seamless bullet feeding, enhancing cycle efficiency and reducing manual handling.
• Adjustable powder measure calibrated for precise powder dispensing, critical for maintaining ballistic consistency and safe load development.

Please note, the kit does not include the optional case funnel, which can be added to facilitate easier case insertion and reduce brass damage during the loading sequence.

The Lee Pro 1000 progressive press is an essential asset for precision reloaders, competitive shooters, and ballistic enthusiasts seeking a reliable, safe, and efficient solution for high-volume metallic cartridge reloading in the .38 S.A. caliber and beyond.
