Default Presses

I was given a Lee pro 1000 progressive press years ago in 45acp.
After I timed it correctly she runs like a Swiss watch. I started buying one pro 1000 for each handgun caliber. Plus extra die plates and shell plates to convert to other calibers. I plan on each setup/caliber will have the powder dispenser too. Make it easy to change calibers. I have a ribs rock chucker, lee master reloader, a lee turret and the single Lee loader for decapping.

I decap.
Rough tumble the brass.
Resize brass case.
Resize the length.
Final polish tumbler.
Prime
Charge
Assemble.

In the pro 1000 I only charge and final assemble the rounds.
