Press for 380 ACP

berettaprofessor · June 16, 2024, 12:32 PM

I load 380 more than any other single caliber but to the tune of only a couple hundred a year. Considering a dedicated Lee Pro1000 380 loader. Anyone have any experience? I understand there are 3 generations; original, 2018, and 2023. 2018 is supposed to be a real improvement and running $165 or so at cheapest. Current model is $235 everywhere. Worth the extra $70?

Berettaprofessor,

I made your post a new thread, as your reloading press-specific question seemed to be a little divergent from the 380 thread.
