[QUOTE="1mathom1, post: 1182038, member: 11736"] Never had any trouble with Lee products till this weekend. For our anniversary, the wife bought me a new Pro 1000 set up for .45 ACP (not the first Pro 1000 I own). In the process of setting it up, I couldn't get the powder-through-expanding die to lift the powder measure high enough to fully slide the disc to the right place and it would not expand the case mouth enough to keep from shaving lead off of bullets as they were seated. Please note I do not like to expand them much.....just barely enough not shave lead as they seat. Odd. So I pulled the expanding plug out of another .45 ACP powder-through expanding die I had on hand and sure enough.....the plug is the wrong one in the new set....even though the die body says .45 ACP. It is too short and the diameter is too small. Dropped the plug in from the old die and voila....success. Calling Lee in a few minutes. [/QUOTE]
