- Hello Guys, in this video I do a talk-thur on the setup of the Lee Six Pack Pro 6000. I cover the setup from start to finish with some tips to help make setup easy. Thanks again for watching and Enjoy !!!
Nice video. I'm going to use it as a reference when I buy one. I currently had the pro 4000 version which is a little more operator intensive
Thanks for stopping by and posting your comment 👍 ... you're going to enjoy it for sure😉👊🇺🇸
Just got mine in the mail from Titan Reloading at a great price with no tax. Glad I came across your video of great information and awesome job on your video!
Thank you so much for the kind words 😊 ... Congratulations on receiving your new Press you're going to love it. Thanks again Brother and enjoy your weekend 😉👊👍🇺🇸
Thanks for posting this. Great job!
Thanks Andy, this press is better than I was expecting 😉👊👍🇺🇸
Awesome walkthrough glad you are feeling better
Thanks Brother 😉 I appreciate your support 👊👍🇺🇸
I got my six pack all set up for the first time last night and churned out 300 rounds of 9mm powdercoated lead cast rounds, a 50/50 mix of 125gr and 150gr loads using Alliant Green Dot. The press setup was fairly straightforward, if a little finnicky, but I had it out of the box, the dies installed and depths set, the powder measure set for 4.0 grains for my first run of 125gr bullets and a 4x4 wooden bench stand built and the press installed on it in about six hours, plus another hour or so to run through all my bullets after the initial setup. I'm really looking forward to getting a bullet feeder and powder check die, that will really speed things up, having six stations is a game changer. All in all I'm quite pleased with the Lee Pro 6000, it's an awesome press and I'm stoked to get more die sets and shell plates to run different cartridges.
Congratulations on getting your setup done 😉 ... you should enjoy years of reloading. Thanks for stopping by and watching, Brother 👊🇺🇸
Great job brother thanks for sharing, New friend here stay connected God bless you
Thanks Brother for stopping by and watching 😉👊🇺🇸
It's arriving today...so thank you for the refresher!
Thanks for stopping by and posting your comment, Brother 😉👊🇺🇸
I just set up my Lee six pack for 223 and I just love the six pack . I have the loadmaster for 9mm . I think Lee makes very good equipment.
That's awesome, Brother 👍 I'm thinking about getting the 223 shell plate to do 223 and 300BLK or another six pack pro dedicated for those 2 calibers😉 ... thanks for stopping by and watching Brother 👊 🇺🇸
@@JerrBearTactical @stevealoia I like the idea of a dedicated press for another caliber 👍
Very Nice JerrBear Very well shown and explained. May it load many millions of freedom seeds for you!
Thanks Brother 👊 I truly appreciate you stopping by and watching 😉🇺🇸
Nice job! Thanks for sharing....
Thanks for watching Brother 😉 👊 🇺🇸
Appreciate the detailed video. I've been using the Classic Turret press since I started reloading in 2019. Never really considered a progressive, but this might be the one to get me to try it. Thanks again! 👍
You're very welcome, Brother 👊 ... thanks again for stopping by and watching 😉👍🇺🇸
so, happy with the new press. Trying the Lee APP, see the benefits and the weakness and always a learning curve
I'm glad to hear you are enjoying your new Six Pack press. I'm a true fan of both the Six Pack Pro and Lee APP. Thanks for stopping by and watching, Brother 😉👊🇺🇸
Very good instructions very informative. I just got one of these and it has been a bear to set up. The factory set up was not indexing so I had to call Lee and they sent me the parts to fix it which I did. It indexes now but it is not dropping powder or priming and if that doesn't work nothing else does. I am going to tear it all down and redo all the dies all over again like you suggested and see where I end up. So far I am not amused with this press I find the materials somewhat cheap and probably won't last long and the instructions were pretty much useless for a new user to progressive presses. A lot of the information is based on you not having any difficulties.
This is a very good friend of mine channel this should help you ... ruclips.net/p/PLByND7BRp-e2HGsBiWmpMhWvFH8HD7lXU&si=u3fZYV3_HrIjDvDE
Thanks again for stopping by and watching, Brother 😉👊👍🇺🇸
@@JerrBearTactical I am working on it the videos helped I need you guys on speed dial. LOL
Thanks for the video, can’t wait for mine to replace the ABLP. Hopefully we’ll get it in South Africa by February
Thanks for watching Brother I really appreciate the support. I'll keep my fingers crossed that you can get ahold of one by February 😉👊🇺🇸
The extra parts for the primer feed make me apprehensive. Because the extra parts for the primer feed on the loadmaster , you will need.
I now have 14,000 rounds made with this press, and the only part I've had to replace was 1 case feeder spring. This press just flat out works amazingly well for my reloading needs. Other reloaders with this press may have a different outcome. Thanks for stopping by and watching 👊👍🇺🇸
Awesome video update on Lee's new press!!! Well done, brother 👏 👍. Looks like it's a good press!!!
Thanks Reb, it's way better than I expected 😉👊👍🇺🇸
Very well explained ! 👍🇺🇸
Thanks, Brother. I really appreciate the support and your time to watch and post your comment 👊 ... enjoy your Easter weekend 😉👍🇺🇸
Thank you so much for posting this
Thanks for stopping by and watching Brother. I'm glad you found it helpful 😉👍🇺🇸
Looks like a nice unit
Thanks Don, 😉👊🇺🇸
You might want to consider the RCBS lockout die. Very easy to setup and it absolutely stops you if your powder is too low or high. That’s why we have 6 stations.
Thanks for watching Brother 😉👊👍🇺🇸
I’ve run the RCBS Lockout Die on my LNL-AP for 10+ years. I wasn’t familiar with the Double Alpha magnetic die until a few years ago. The DAA product is really nifty. Either one you choose, they are superior to a die that you have to watch, like the Hornady Powder Cop.
Good stuff man! ❤❤
Thanks for watching Brother I really appreciate the support 😉 👊 🇺🇸
This is [THE] setup. The ability to add both the DAA powder check and the in line mini bullet feeder is a big F'ing deal.
Yes, I absolutely agree. Thanks for stopping by and posting your thoughts Brother 😉👍👊🇺🇸
Agreed! 100%
I love the set up! It looks pretty similar to mine :3 Great press for the price!
Thanks for stopping by and posting a comment 😉 ... I do really like this press and the price was right 👍👊🇺🇸
I’m impressed so far. I hope it runs well for you in actual practice. Good job on the video. 🤛🏻🔫🇺🇸
Good morning Walter, Lee did a really great job with this particular press it just flat out works. Only time will tell if it's worth the money. I truly appreciate your support 😉👍👊🇺🇸
Thank you. That was very helpful. In the interest of "one press to rule them all" can it do 30-06?
Yes, it can do 30-06😉 ... thanks for stopping by and watching Brother 👊 👍 🇺🇸
Who makes the powder cop die...can you provide brand and model number...thats prettt darn cool.
Nice setup
The poeder cop die is made by DAA Magnetic Powder Check 2.0 ... thanks for stopping by and watching, Brother 😉👊🇺🇸
Thanks for the video, one question, is your bench bolted to the wall? Because I see movement when you use the press...
Yes, the bench is anchored to the wall and floor. Thanks for stopping by and watching Brother 👊 👍 🇺🇸
@JerrBear Thank you for sharing this video. It is much appreciated. It was nicely presented. Im new to reloading and learning as much as I could before buying this equipment. In what station do you de-prime and add the prime? Thank you once again.
Depriming would happen in station 1 along with the resizing. I don't do it this way because I wet tumble my cases. I have another press the Lee APP to Deprime all my brass. Priming is done in station 2 ... it would go like this ... case enters shell platein station 1 for depriming and resizing. Station 2 reprimes the case, flares the case and powder is dropped. Station 3 is my powder check die. Station 4 is my bullet feeder. Station 5 is my bullet seating die and station 6 is the crimp die ... round is now complete and drops into completed ammo bin. I hope this helps answer your questions 😉 ... thanks for stopping by and watching, Brother 👊🇺🇸
Here's another great channel and friend of mind that does a step by step tutorial on this press. Here's the link... ruclips.net/p/PLByND7BRp-e2HGsBiWmpMhWvFH8HD7lXU
You are awesome. Thank you for sharing this information. Im getting a more clear understanding on how all these works. It is much appreciated.👊🇺🇸
By the way, new subscriber here. 🙂
Anytime 😉 ... take your time and make as many dummy rounds as needed, it will help you learn the process of running your press when you get it. Any other questions, feel free to ask, and happy reloading, Brother 😁🍻
Would this work well for 556/300 blk?
It will work, remember that rifle cases will need to be lubed to resize so the process will be different to reload that pistol. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for stopping by and watching Brother 👊 🇺🇸
I case prep my 556 on a single stage Lee press. Then run the reload on the six pack .
Great video is you bullet die case activated and is it all meatal parts thanks
Yes, it's case activated and no, it's a plastic bullet die. Thanks for stopping by and watching Brother 👊 👍 🇺🇸
Do you have to manually press the lever for powder drop...or is It chain activated..
Also do you have two use all stations for it to run correctly.
I crimp and seat with same die
Powder is manually activated when brass case is brought up into flaring / powder drop die. No, you don't have to use all stations to run the press 😉 ... thanks for stopping by and watching, Brother 👍👊🇺🇸
@JerrBearTactical awesome. The only reason I asked about how the dropper worked is. The one i have for my turret press I have to manually press a lever down to activate it.
My Six pack pro will be here tomorrow....
@redraiderreloading7612 you're going to love it😉👊🇺🇸
How about your decapper? You didn't mention it, that I heard.
I don't decap on this press. If I did, it would be in station 1 with the resizing die😉 thanks for stopping by and watching Brother 👊 👍 🇺🇸
What about de-priming? Does the resize die also deprime?
Yes, it absolutely does. I don't deprime on any of my reloading presses. I use my Lee APP press to deprime all my cases pistol or rifle 😉 ... thanks for stopping by and watching Brother 👊🇺🇸
How do I change calibers with this press?
It's quite simple. 1st thing that needs to be done is you have to remove the die bushing out of station #4. 2nd, you remove the indexing rod up and out of the press. 3rd, you loosen the shell plate hold down bolt. 4th step is to thread off the shell plate ... Done. It's really quick and simple to do. If your doing a complete caliber change, you would also remove all other die bushings for that caliber and replace them with new caliber. Hope this makes sense. Thanks for stopping by and watching 👊 🇺🇸
Does anyone know the purpose of the black ring i didnt install mine in my press?
I need a bit more info to give you more help. Dose the black ring have teeth? If it has teeth it's a extra clutch drive ring. Or it could be the Retainer ring which installs on top of carrier, must be installed when reloading cases with a rim diameter less than .430" (11mm). Thanks for stopping by and watching, Brother 😉👊🇺🇸
why did you use the DAA bullet feeder instead of a Lee product?
At the time, I received my Six Pack Pro 11/25/2022 the DAA was the only bullet feeder available. I did pickup the new Lee bullet feeder 3 months ago. They both work amazingly well 😉 ... thanks for stopping by and watching 👊🇺🇸
I just don't see how this works, the flaw in the ointment is the priming step. I just went back to my turret press and am out $500 bucks or so with the associated shell plates, mounting plates and whatnot. The stupidity of the design is the primer is supposed to sit unsupported on a post and not fall off (which it does) as the plate comes around and makes things jiggle. You can't even go real slow and watch everything every step of the way (negating the purpose of a progressive) because the shell plate blocks your view as it comes around and you can't even see if a primer has fed, if its in position, or it has fallen off the stupid post.
I'm really sorry to hear that you are having problems with your press. If you haven't done so, you might want to give Lee Precision a phone call their technical support is awesome, and should be able to help you resolve your issues. I have over 14,000 rounds thru my press, and the only thing I've had to replace was a few springs due to wearing them out. Good luck, and thanks for stopping by and watching 😉👍👊🇺🇸
Are they quick chage dies
The dies are threaded into Lees new Smart Lock Bushing. They work extremely well with this press😉 ... thanks for stopping by and watching Brother 👊 🇺🇸
@@JerrBearTactical thank you
You're very welcome 😁 👊🇺🇸
I said I understand why Lee doesn’t design the primaries to Dillon
