Hey, I've got a Lee1000 and the moment I got it I yanked out the size/deprime die and put in in my old single stage press. I take my old brass and tumble lightly, then size and deprime and clean all my primer pockets out and then tumble some more. Then after that I prime them by hand because I really like to know that they are in there. Once I've done that, I throw all my cases into the ol' 1000 and it pops some powder in and then throws a bullet on top.

How do you accomplish cleaning the case and primer pocket when you load the way they say to load? I mean, do people really just throw their fired brass in and reload them all dirty like that?

I guess that's the main reason I've never had trouble w/ my Lee 1000 (I've never even used the primer seater).

If anyone does it the way that I haven't could you post how you do it and some results?

Thanks
