I started with Lee equipment in 1989. I believe it was about 2007 when I got a good deal on a lightly used Pro-1000. I never did care for the auto-disk powder measure but I hatched a plan to use the Pro-1000 to process pistol brass.
I used it to deprime, size, prime and flare case mouths... across 13 different calibers on a shoestring budget.
In 2010, a bit over two decades in to the hobby I began to log all my production. For the 10 years between Jan 1, 2010 and Dec 31, 2019 the log totaled 131,783 loaded rounds.
My Lee equipment is still producing for me. I feed $2,500 elite handguns with ammo made with my low-buck equipment and I can’t stop smiling about how well it all works.
Dillon makes phenomenal equipment. I’d thoroughly enjoy an XL-650 however my brain and my wallet couldn’t wrap itself around the price tag to make a 650 handle loading 13 different pistol calibers and a handful of bottle neck rifle also.
7,600+ in 2020 so far, but this year isn’t over so that number isn’t in the total yet.
