Got a Pro 1000 Monday, Loaded 300 rds of 45 ACP in various powders and powder levels. Took some tinkering but once I learned the ins and outs, I can load a box of 50 in no time!

WARNING: THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE!!

It makes you shoot more

I keep going back to the store and buying more supplies to try differenr rds!

This a good thread! I just now read it though I got my press 2 years ago (almost).

I purchased my Lee Pro1000 several days ago, and just got it up and running last night. I read the reloading data included with the unit as well as the data in the Lee Modern Reloading Handbook. I am using Unique powder with 230gr. Copper jacketed Ranier bullets. My question is this: When I use the appropriate disk (.66) I get 4.5gr of powder instead of the 6.0 that the manual calls for. I increased the disk size to .76 to get 5.4gr of powder. I was reading about double disks (.32 & .34 = .66) but looking at the powder measure I don't see how it will fit. Any pointers?
