I used a RCBS Rock chicken for probably 30 years. I was given a used LEE pro 1000 progressive press setup for 45 acp. I found it out of time. I fixed that. I ran 1,000 of 45acp in no time. I was in heaven. I had the change to purchased all the die plates and shell holders for all my calibers. It’s my goal to have these pre set on the shelf so I can switch calibers in a heart beat. I purchased two more Lee pro 1000 so I can load 45acp, in one, 357:,38, 9mm in another, 41,44, 45lc in another. I purchased the Lee master progressive press for 308/30-06. I purchased the Lee turret press for 6,5 Swede, 7mm Mauser, 303 Britt, 444 marlin.

I plan on fabricating a eight sided indexing reloading table to mount all the presses. I’m old school, I decap my brass, pre polish my brass, then clean the primer pocket, resize the brass, length size the brass, then final polish it, then prime it, then run it through the progressive press.

If your going to progressive presses do it right. I hate being handcuffed to a press for days on end. I like to pump out the ammo and shoot it up again.
