[QUOTE="Hydra6, post: 2881734, member: 125161"] I wore out three Lee 1000s (older Lee progressive) back when I was a very high volume pistol shooter - one in 9mm, one in 38 Special, and one in 45. They work but they are made of lightweight metals and will wear out - the actual frame and other structural pieces will wear out. Then you need to buy another press as Lee definitely will not warranty that level of wear. But I am talking tens of thousands of rounds of loaded ammo. If you are not a high volume loader they work. I moved from the Lee 1000s to Dillon Square Deals (pistol only) and over time replaced the Square Deals with Dillon 550s to gain rifle capability. Just FYI, I had a Dillon 550 frame break after MANY rounds loaded and Dillon sent me a new 550 replacement immediately. [/QUOTE]
