I use a similar method with my Pro1000. I don't prime on mine either, after seeing all of the problems that I seen with other Pro1000 users. Here's my method:
1) Tumble clean brass
2) Insert a tool head with the sizing/decapping die into the Pro1000
3) Resize/decap all of the brass
4) Tumble again
5) Run all of the empty brass through a Max Cartridge Gauge...no sense wasting a primer on a bad case
6) Prime brass with a hand-held primer seater
7) Replace the tool head holding the sizing die with a separate tool head holding the powder measure, seater, and crimp dies
8) Finish reloading
9) Gauge the loaded rounds
Hey, I'm an anal reloader...I had a factory remanufactured 10mm blow out in my Delta Elite, and I don't wish to repeat the experience. I got lucky: the pistol was not broken, and my wounds were minor and few (the equivalents of bloody shaving nicks).
