    I think they're OK presses, but not anything that I'd sleep with. Granted, I'm REALLY excited about them. However, I REALLY wanted a Dillon 650 or 1000, but I'll settle for a 'starter' press.

    I've been talking around the house about getting a progressive press and trying to convince the wife to get it so that I can speed load the .223, 9mm, and (possibly) .308. She agreed that spending less time loading and more time with her would be great. I agree with that sentiment.

    I now own two Lee Pro 1000 presses, one set up for .223 and the other for 9mm. I expect that they'll do fine.
    Just doing what I can to stay on this side of the dirt.

    I won't donate, but I can make some recommendations. PM Me, and we'll get the text chain started.

    My wife is trying to make up for some mis-deeds in the very recent past... most notably, she thought it would be a good idea to let Ritter (the new puppy) crawl around on me while I was sleeping on the couch (hey, I'll take sleep where I can get it!). The problem was that Didi (the un-official mascot of the PWT) was already sleeping on the other end of the couch. Ritter won't go near Didi, and I'm OK with that. Instead, Ritter decided that waking me up by being a playful puppy, full of wonderment, and BITING THE CRAP OUT OF MY LIP was a good idea. This caused a late night trip to the ER. Talking to the on-duty cop about animal control (it IS a dog bite) for an hour and explaining to him that a 15 week old puppy doesn't quite know what he doesn't know and thus shouldn't be held as a 'violent/dangerous animal'. I got pretty defensive with that A-Hole. So, it's about midnight and I'm pretty sternly TELLING a cop that he's not going to come to my house and take my wife's new puppy just because he's acting like a puppy.

    at this point, Mrs. Belly is pretty much crying her eyes out because all she wanted was for me and the puppy to bond a little bit, and she thinks it's cute that Didi and I take naps on the couch. She wanted that for me and Ritter, too. All the while I've got a fairly profuse leak in my face that the hospital won't let me cover up because I don't have a sterile cover.

    Now the cop asks to see my ID. I tell him no problem, and hand over the .mil. He asks for my driver's license. he asks for my current address, and I tell him no thanks. It's not required for their report, and it's not required per state or local law, and that I'm not giving him any opportunity to go to my house and mess with my puppy. He can choke on a giant bag of balls if he thinks I'm giving that up. Needless to say, I was pretty hot under the collar.

    So, here I am, in the ER, semi-yelling at a cop with blood streaming out of my lip, and they finally call me back to get it taken care of. I asked the ER doc if it could be cleaned out and have steri-strips instead of stitches. he says nope. (background info: I HATE needles. They scare the crap out of me, and the sight of needles going towards my skin has ALWAYS made the fight/flight instinct kick in.) He says it needs stitches because the tear in ym face starts on my upper lip and crosses the line ONTO MY LIP....

    Think about that. The doc has to give me stitches ON. MY. LIP........EFF. MY. LIFE.

    So, needless to say, I now have stitches on my face.


    AND I HAVE TWO NEW PROGRESSIVE PRESSES IN MY LIVING ROOM!!!!!!
    If I got that for every miss-deed my wife did, I'd be Hornady.

    Can we expect a video on the Lee 1000?

    I think she bought 2 presses so she can spend time with you while you both reload!
