Auto breech lock Pro

Post by Shooterrick2020 »

I like this press very much overall and have navigated through the initial setup and I loaded a couple hundred roundz now. This is not a plug-in play press. . It takes a little bit of tweaking to make work well.

There is only one issue I have and that is with the cam lock bushings. I love the concept but the bushings themselves have a flaw at least with the ones that I have. The screw that locks the bushing on to the die is soft in my opinion. If you don't get the dye set the first time The Way You Want It and back the screw out you're going to have a good chance stripping that's small Phillips head even if you're careful. Now I saw some where someone had Allen screws on their bushings and that would be a big Improvement in my opinion.

If you could buy those replacement screws somewhere please let me know I have two bushings that have that problem.

Use a #1 driver instead of a more common #2.

I guarantee Fastenall will have a Hex Head or Cap Screw in stock. I would bet Ace Hardware would also. Remove the screw and take the bushing to find the right size

I understand also called I believe Pro 4000. . I'm not sure which namely settled on yet but when I bought mine it was called the cam lock Pro 4000 I believe the four it's for the four stations and there is a Pro 1000 I believe. . If this isn't correct someone correct me please.

On edit like I said I'm a rookie when it comes to Lee products. Called
the breech lock Pro.

I use the 90600 bushing with Lee dies, and like Lee says, there is no need for the screw type ones with their dies.

My RCBS Lock-Out die is using a screw bushing, because I think the press came with one originally, and this is the only die that isn't screwed down all the way.

I'm doing .38, .357, .45 ACP and .45 Colt using the 90600 bushing. The only issue I have with them is occasionally a die will come loose when I go to remove it, rather than the bushing, but all I have to do is tighten it back in, and the whole thing come loose.
