After buying a Dillon 550 and a Hornady LNL my Lee 1000 jam-o-matic has been sitting in the bottom of my reloading cabinet doing nothing for a few years now.
Recently made a case tumbler and converted over to stainless steel pins to clean my brass and I was using my trusty old Rockchucker to deprime some cases to get cleaned. I was on about my 200th .45acp case when I remembered I have a lee universal deprimer die and that old lee 1000 sitting and doing nothing.
Put the universal deprimer die in station one, attached the 4 tube case feeder thing and loaded it up with .45acp brass. Man I just flew thru the depriming job, the brass was deprimed and nothing else and in no time I had the 500 cases that I needed to clean in the drum and cleaning.
Did the same thing for some .357 mag. , just change the shell plate and the height of the case feeder and away you go.
Sure saved me a lot of time depriming my pistol cases and for the first time I was not yelling or swearing at the lee 1000.
