Lee is coming out with a new 6 station progressive press. It looks like they combined a Auto breech lock pro, with a pro 1000 carrier. Supposed to have auto priming. Lees major downfall is their primer setup. Hopefully they changed some things. I have a awful amount of red in my loading room. Some of their stuff is actually decent. But the plastic needs to stop being used on wear items.
I hope they fix the alignment issues of the ABLP press to carry over to this press. I can't load 380 on mine as the cases can not be inserted far enough into the shell plate. You have to tip each case into the center to get them to go into the dies. After crushing about 25 cases trying different things to get them to align. I feel it may also be the shell plate may be too thick for the extractor grove on the 380 case. It does the same thing on a turret I have if I use a RCBS shell holder. But not with a Lee shell holder as the rear is relieved(scalloped?) more than just flat on top like the RCBS one.
