Found this one on youtube, I know I've had problems with the lee powder measure system on the pro-1000 myself. Thankfully, I was getting under charges.

Me blowing the barrel of my .45 Springfield 1911. You can see the burst of flame on my 4th shot. The gun jammed on the 5th shot with a bulged barrel. Recoil on that shot was intense as the slide did not move at all. I now have a new LNL AP press to replace the Lee 1000 that I had been using.
I also went to a Tanfogilio LC in .40 a few weeks later. The 1911 now has a new barrel and is doing well.
