Sorry for the derail of your post OP but I am in the process of converting my pro 1000 from 300 BLK to 40 Smith & Wesson and bought a shell plate from Brownell's. This shell plate I received today has three holes (thinking this is for the newer versions of pro 1000 ) where my original one has none, will it work on my older press?

I have a Dillon xl 650 set up for 223 but do not like dismantling and changing calibers back and forth. For the foreseeable future I want it dedicated. Any ideas for a 40 caliber press? I already have the dies. Thanks.
Too late to find these at reasonable prices? Any ideas?
750s in stock at Double Alpha. If you want the case feeder those say in-stock first of next week. They have full packages there and since they are pre-ordering to STOCK the Dillons, its like you put your order in with Dillon 2 months ago. Front of the line.

The presses sold now have a shot pin to help locate the shell plate after indexing, that's what those 3 holes are for.Sorry for the derail of your post OP but I am in the process of converting my pro 1000 from 300 BLK to 40 Smith & Wesson and bought a shell plate from Brownell's.

yeh, I looked around the usual places for a Lee Pro 1000 and could not find one "in stock".I have a fully dedicated xl 650 for 223 and do not want to switch now. Was looking for a less expensive 40 caliber progressive. Lee's have gone up in price and I have lost interest unless I can find a precrisis sale price.

That's only an "enhancement" for the mechanically challenged reloaders who don't/can't read the simple instructions on how to adjust the index.
That new design shell plate will work in any Pro 1000.

There's are some on ebay but none at the less than $200 prices of just a month or so ago.
Maybe put a wanted ad for something used will find you a press?
jmo,
I recently saw one here in the classifieds...
