If you are happy with that rate of production, you are gold.

I had two Pro-1000 presses and never got comfortable with monitoring multiple simultaneous operations. I also did not like the way the Pro-1000 would drop the spent primers outside the cavity in the press' base where they were SUPPOSED to go (which, by the way is the same system used with the Deluxe Turret). I also did not like the way the new primer feed would not feed the last few primers. Gravity required a stack of new primers always be pushing the primer to be inserted in the current case. Unreliable at the end of a loading session.

Watching all these operations, I could never achieve the production rate a progressive press is supposed to be capable of.

So, I traded "up" to a Lee Classic Turret and couldn't be happier.
