I have a Lee pro 1000 I bought maybe a year ago and loaded 7,000 rounds on. It was the first time I ever reloaded.
Honestly it was a tough learning curve. Maybe I'm just stupid, but it took me months to get the hang of it. I did everything wrong, jamming primers in sideways, squibs, bad primers, you name it.
I wanted to throw the thing out. Then one day it finally just clicked and I can do 350rph no problem. I just didn't know how to handle it before.
I think I should've just used the single stage i ended up buying anyway to size cast bullets to learn, then moved up to the progressive.
I'm sure once you know what you're doing on a single stage the progressive is much easier to run.
Like I said though even I figured it out, but it was harder than it looks.
I think I'd get a loadmaster because it looks more robust and has more flexability with that extra station.
Not that my pro 1000 breaks, except for maybe that damn chain!
