Very good video and explanations. A few expansions to your info. COL is cartridge overall length. There is a case length for trimming cases. Lee's number on the disk is a volume number. using the generic density of the powder, Lee calcs a volume as a starting point based on the weight of powder desired. Lee is usually a little conservative in the thrown weight of powder. the chart is available in 2024 as a down load from the Lee website. the 4.0 grains you where throwing would reduce the velocity of the bullet around 30 fps from your loading data. in most instances, not enough to warrant a change to a different volume. the powder auto disk is activated by the case pushing up a hollow drop tube. the tube has a starting diameter to expand the inside of the case to allow tension on the bullet. the upper section of the tube has a taper that flairs the top of the case. moving the threaded section of the powder measure up or down varies the taper on the case. for cast bullets, this is very important as the reduced diameter will shave off lead. a jacketed bullet will usually side in OK. it is the taper that can work harden the brass and cause splitting, us only as much as is really needed to seat the bullet. when throwing the first throws of powder, I will throw a few double charges and immediately return to a safe depository for the powder, taping case upside down to make sure no powder is stuck in the case. this gives me a reference of the level of too much powder when visually checking during actual reloading. again, you did cover a lot of good information in an easy to understand method

really good quick refresher

Just got the 9mm bullet feeder and when the bullet drops it stays ontop of the fingers instead of falling through like in the video . Are the fingers supposed to spread open when they are under the bullet die. Or did lee send me the wrong set up. The hole in the fingers is the size of a 223 round roughly for a visual .

You don’t crimp the 223??

COL ... Cartridge overall length

Even 10 years old, this video helped me get my bullet feeder setup and running. I have one of the newer Lee Pro 1000 presses and I purchased the bullet feeder for .45 Auto. I've had to make quite a few discoveries of my own, due to Lee Precision's really bad manuals and other documentation. I finally got the press fully automated and I've figured out that (not because of the difficulty, but because of the time consumption) it might be worth buying a complete second press to setup and avoid having to change everything over for reloading 300 Blackout. Thanks for the video.

I don't know if this was pointed out already but the part you keep calling a shell plate is actually called the shell plate carrier. The shell plate is the part with the slots for the shells. Good video, thanks for helping out with this.

cost of setting up reloading station in 2024 is minimum 1000 only for one caliber like 9mm.

Im struggling with the case feeder for 223. mine will regularly drop more than one case due to that shot case pusher and too much play in the feeder. otherwise it seems to work great.

for your next video please blow your nose before starting. it is annoying to hear you trying to suck up your snot constantly

I have a question for you how do you measure to get the right bring for your Lee powder dispenser?

What that spring you have connected to the powder. And where did you get the primer tray from? I bought the pro 1000 and it came with those junk flip tray that I can’t stand

Very detailed man. Making use of this 9 years from when you made it!

Thank you for the vid. Been on the fence about it with how many people have said its garbage, my suspicions are that they didn't set it up correctly. Thanks!

Good info is timeless, great demo and explanation of how to install and run the Lee bullet feeder.

Where did you get that primer system I have the one that came with the Lee 4000 that you have to push a primer into the casing every time a casing comes around

Where did you get that primer system? I have the one that came with the 4000 and you have to manually push the primer into every casing

Greetings from South Africa. I am new to this press and setup and first 9 rounds went well. But now the brass get stuck everytime within the resizing and depriming die....how do I stop this from happening?

My 2022 estimate is based on reloading 380, 9mm and 223 ammo, a single stage press, Lee dies for each caliber, a lee decapping die, a lee powder measure, a frankford arsenal wet tumbler, lee swager, lee bulge buster kit, lube tray, steel pins, manual, trimmers, deburrer, additional lighting, and a bench. My equipment cost in 2020 was $950. In 2022, probably $1,100 My average 380 rounds material cost was18 cents. I made about 500 rounds My average 9mm rounds material cost was 19 cents I made about 2,200 rounds My average 223 rounds material cost was 28 cents. I made about 1,000 rounds Because I have a stockpile of primers, powder and bullets if you were to start in 2022; my estimated material costs are the 380's would go for 25 cents, the 9mm 27 cents and the 223 would go for 37 cents. The time spent scavenging brass, cleaning brass and reloading was about seventy to ninety hours. Then there is the time spent looking for primers, powder and bullets. At one point I was spending an hour a week just looking on the internet for primers. As of November 2022, my equipment and material cost have reached a break even point compared to the prices at the time I reloaded. As long as my time is free. Special note, as ammo prices went up and ammo got scare, so did the cost of primers, powder and bullets. Primers were non existent for 10 months. I have 4 stores I can buy primers and powder at, and most of the time they are out. I now have eight hundred dollars invested in powder, primers and bullets in storage. It is a couple years worth of shooting supplies. When any of them reach a certain point I start looking again. Reloading is not for everyone. The time involved is more than some can invest. The initial costs for equipment and supplies, same, it can be like paying a month's rent. Also, if you are easily distracted, don't like to follow or read instructions, don't like safety glasses, cut corners because you think you might get away with it, don't have time or space, reloading may not be for you. Reloading can be safe or it can be dangerous. It is your choice. A solid bench is a requirement, there's a lot of torque on the press at times. When my wife saw the lighting I was using she commented that I could tan while making ammo. Lighting and the bench must be figured into the equation. The space in the house for equipment, cleaning, reloading and supplies is significant. But I deeply enjoy reloading, it is a quiet solitary pursuit. It is details to take care of. It is equipment to clean, lube and maintain. My wife is on board with the investment and the time spent. But not all wives are like that. If you and your family can handle the investment of time, space and money, go for it. But consider all things first.

To lube cases add some wax or red grease to you dry tumbling media a tip i picked up from a friend thats been reloading for years

I'm getting one..

I just bought a Pro 1000 with no directions. this video has helped me immensely, Thanks for your contribution it is extremely helpful.

You are the most informative on this loader you are awesome i just got one and this is the info. im looking for fuckcking nice work dude!!

Your Z bar is popping out because you haven’t adjusted the aluminium block on the top correctly loosen the big bolt above it and rotate it slightly clockwise looking down from above and then tighten that bolt again and that’ll hold it in perfectly

The problem I've been having is that when the finger picks up the bullet and it's about to go over the case the bullet drops and I don't understand why it's like the fingers are not strong enough to hold on to it or maybe the fingers are moving too quickly I tried slowing down and I've tried going a little bit faster does anybody have any suggestions

Where did u get that handle?

I always heard that reloading for self-protection is a no no I heard prosecutors really hammering in court for example you reloaded them extra to kill among other things I heard they hammer in court for it

This is actually one of the easiest to follow videos I've seen. Thank you NodaSheep.

u r the only video i could find that actually explains what i needed. ! thank you!! every other video and everyone else was all talk and fill - ur video helped me ! thank you ! 5 stars bro!

I could get the STL file on that feeder?

Where did you get that spring that holds the feeder down. Mine doesnt have that

Do you know why lee doesnt offer a bullet feeder for the 223. I found an stl file for a 3d printed 223 bullet fingers for the lee and I am a machinist and made a new die for feeding 223 bullets but I havnt got a chance to try it yet.

I tried just neck sizing once fired from my 6.5CM bolt action, they didnt chamber nor pass the case gauge. I full length size adjusting to fit snug without any wiggle room.

Not shell plate.

which 223/5.56 die set are you using with that three hole Lee loader ?

Powder holder is wrong whay, the writing has to stay on the left side

How I can setup here 4.15? I found 4 or 4.30. That is probably not possible with this powder auto disk or?

hello, I noticed you have a counter at the bottom, what counter is that? and how did you set it up? Thanks!

If the z bar keeps slipping out of the hole on your case feeder there's a good chance you have it installed backwards.

Good explanation! Would this contraption fit and work on a Hornady AP?

Thanks

Very well explained for us who are new to this press and reloading so good there’s guys out there willing to help us thanks man 👍🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺

Awsome video Bud just a query I found I had a timing problem where my press wasn’t fully Bottoming ! But found that timing screw was very loose I semi tightened and seems to have fixed the problem is this screw meant to be very loose 🤔 keep up your Awsome videos I too am new to reloading Thanks Dave Australia 🇦🇺👍👍

Awesome videos learning heaps thanks for your time and effort 👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

Thats why I shoot flintlock. You reload and no primer needed so it saves money.

Very nice please tell me how did you buy please tell me i bought this thanks I wait your reply

You need to make more videos. This was the best one I’ve watched related to the lee pro. Very detailed and you explain everything really well and make it a lot easier
