Lee 90641 Pro 1000 Reloading Press Kit 380 Auto Cast Alum

The Lee Precision Pro 1000 reloading press kit for .380 Auto puts progressive reloading within reach of shooters who want to load pistol ammunition efficiently without a steep learning curve or massive bench footprint. This cast aluminum progressive press handles the three critical stages—sizing, priming, and seating—in a single stroke, moving you toward consistent, cost-effective ammo production. If you shoot .380 Auto and reload in volume, this kit bundles the press with matched components so you're not hunting separately for dies, powder measure, and shell plate.

What sets the Pro 1000 apart is its straightforward three-station design and the inclusion of a carbide die set (sized specifically for pistol), Pro Auto-Disk powder measure with double-disk kit, case feeder, and priming system—all the essentials to start loading once you have cases, powder, and primers on hand. The auto-disk powder measure delivers consistent throws without fuss, and the integrated priming system feeds primers only when a case is present, a built-in safety feature that reduces operator error. Cast aluminum construction keeps weight and cost down while maintaining the rigidity needed for reliable operation.

Lee's Pro 1000 is purpose-built for pistol shooters who want to maximize output without the complexity of a fully featured turret system. It's a solid entry into progressive reloading for those committed to .380 Auto, and the standardized Lee three-hole turret design means you can expand to other pistol calibers down the road if you pick up matching die sets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use this press for calibers other than .380 Auto?

The Pro 1000 is a three-hole turret press, so yes, you can reload other pistol calibers if you purchase matching carbide die sets separately. The turret and shell plate rotate to accept Lee's standard three-hole dies. This kit comes configured specifically for .380 Auto, but the platform is expandable.

What primers are compatible with the Pro 1000?

Lee specifies that only CCI and Remington primers work with the automated priming system on the Pro 1000. No other primer brands are approved for this press.

What's included in the kit, and what do I need to supply?

The kit includes the Pro 1000 press, carbide die set, Pro Auto-Disk powder measure with double-disk kit, case feeder, priming system, turret, and shell plate. You'll need to supply brass cases, powder, and primers (CCI or Remington) to begin reloading.

Does the Pro 1000 require special mounting?

The Pro 1000 is a bench-mounted press. No special mounting hardware is mentioned in the kit specs, so mounting bolts and bench prep are your responsibility, but the standard casting accommodates conventional C-clamp or bolt-down setups used with most reloading presses.
