Opinions pro 6000

[Bigdog1956]

What is your opinion on the pro 6000? What's is the maximum caliber for this press?
What caliber are you loading on it.

Love it. 9mm, 357, 38 spl, 45 acp, 223.

I suggest getting the updated indexing rod, keep it clean, keep it lubed and do not forget to take the retainer ring off when loading 45

Okay, you're going to have to explain about the retainer ring removal. First I've heard of that. No, I don't own one but have watched several vid's on it and read many reviews. If I get my reloading stuff unpacked and start again I would consider one though.

I too had to ask Lee! When you remove the shell plate you’ll see a ring around the outside. That ring is what allows this to hold such a wide variety of calibers. This machine really works well, I take my time and it just works.


Retainer ring.

I am thinking about purchasing this product, I load 41, 44, 45 hand guns.
What is the maximum case length for this press?

I read .30-06 I believe.

I expected my press to come assembled, like my Loadmaster was, but I had to remove the shell plate and install the ring for 9mm. Maybe just me, but like not including the Factory Crimp die, just another corner cut!

I love mine. I picked it up a few months back. Before that was a 2021 ish Pro 1000. The Pro 1k was pretty fiddly to me, and hard to place bullets or fix glitches with my huge hands. The SPP is as close to trouble free as I could ever expect to be. Occasional upsidedown case from the case feeder, which is easy to fix thanks to generous finger room, and that's really it. The new priming system has been flawless. I have loaded a few thousand 9mm with it so far, and it has been a joy to use.

Dillon dose not assemble theirs FYI

[Bill Moore]

Well, I've never ordered a Dillon, and in the last 30+ years, I guess policies may have changed at Lee, but my point is still the same. I bought a complete press for one caliber but had to purchase the crimp die separately, and disassemble and reconfigure the press to load that caliber.
