I just dove in....

I have been wanting to load my own for a while. I finally took the plunge and ordered a Lee Pro 1000 progressive press in .45acp. I also got three more turrets with 9mm, .40/10mm, and .357 sig dies. Also the small primer stuff, small case pusher, small case tubes and collator.

I have a basement room that I am converting to my armory since my wife is kicking me out of the walk in closet.

I mainly will be loading 9mm, .357 sig, 10mm and .45. Any advice would be wonderful, and yes I am aware of the primer feed issues of the Lee press.

As luck would have it, two of my good friends at work are avid reloaders so I won't be all alone.

Welcome to the club. If you belong to a range pick up all the brass you can.

Go to midwayusa.com and order all the plastic parts to the press. They will break. They are cheaper at Midway than Lee. I bought 2 primer troughs for my loadmaster at midway for 10. each. They were 15. at Lee.

Watch all the youtube on the 1000, mostly the maint. ones.
