Dirty 9mm reloads, what am I doing wrong?

Sorry for hijacking thread....

Not all mate, it's all very interesting. I've finally got my Lee Pro 1000 set up. Am having the typical primer feed issues but it's still much faster than my single stage! It appears I may not have been flaring anywhere near enough, the Pro 1000 is setup with a much bigger flare and the projectiles are seating a lot more smoothly without shaving any lead off.

Does anyone know of a shop that has the Lead Away cloth in stock, I can't find it anywhere.

Dbshootingsupplies.com.au usually has alot of what pistol users need. Great service and pricing (no, I aint connected).

Also, get rid of the Lee 1000 if you can. I had one once. Drove me insane. Admittedly, I did reload thousands of rounds on it, but, I hated the powder thrower. That bloody chain and those cups that you have to use. I get nightmares thinking about that damned thing.

Bought a Dillon 1050 and its the only way to reload. Yep, they cost a heap more, but, with good reason. My best mate uses a Dillon 650 which is a cheaper option and basically does the same thing.

A Dillon is out of my price range at the moment, well until tax time anyway! The Lee is working for the moment and so far it's only the primer feed that's giving me grief. I've actually found the powder thrower to be very accurate and hasn't let me down as yet, I do have some chain and a spring for when the Lee chain breaks though.

Funny that. I never had any dramas with primers (apart from dropping them) when I owned the Lee 1000. Powder thrower was a bastard until I modified it.

Yep, Dillon aint cheap (the 1050 is considered to be a commercial level press), but, it'll last me until I kick the bucket.

I did plan on shooting alot more than I do (hence the 1050 buy). Maybe one day....
