I bought the Pro 1000 Progressive kit for .41 Magnum.
What is a good method for seating/adjusting the dies?
I have viewed the videos on Lee site several times.
What gaps should there be between the bottom of the dies and the shellplate? Shouldn't the gaps all be the same? Should I measure, or go with "feel"?
I have had good luck de-capping the cases. I then put the old primers in the primer tray and practices priming. That works pretty good.
Right now, getting the expansion right and the bullet seat and crimp are the big issues.
I also bought the Lee Deluxe rifle dies for Rem. 7mm Mag. I guess these don't work on this press. Maybe Lee single stage is next purchase.
What is difference between turret and progressive?
Here are my supplies:
Winchester fire formed brass.
Federal large magnum pistol match primers.
Nosler 210gr JHP.
H110 powder.
I plan on using the powder measure hole to yield 19.2gr (1.26CC) of H110. And progressing up to 20.7gr(1.36CC).
Reloading tables I have looked at say up to 21gr of H110 with 210gr JHP.
I've crushed a few cases and smushes some bullets in the case practicing with no primer or powder.
I shoot the 210gr Remington JSP's now. They are pretty stout. Also have some Winchester 170 Silver Points which are very mild.
These go in my Ruger BlackHawk New Model with Burris 4x on top of B-Square mount.
