Coming soon - Lee Precision Pro6000 Six Pack

[DuaneWessels]

Pro 6000 Six Pack Reloading Press
The culmination of nearly 40 years of progressive press design and production. Years of comments and suggestions have been incorporated into this new press.

Features:
·         Six stations allow any brand of die to be used -- in line bullet feed dies, powder check dies and such.
·         Simple and reliable automatic indexing -- just one moving part, replaceable in seconds, no tools required and never requires adjustment.
·         Stroke and clearance sufficient for largest magnum rifle cases. Uses the same all steel linkage found on the Classic Cast 50 BMG press.
·         Massive 28.4mm ram glides through 82 mm of solid steel giving the ram over 7300 mm2 of solid support.
·         All dies securely fastened in the upper die carrier with the LEE Breech lock quick die change system. No more turret or tool head to replace or move during use.
·         Automatic priming system - simple, reliable and safe with any brand or size of primer. Primes at the bottom of stroke so all six stations are available for operations.
·         Automatic case inserter works with any case. Cases can be manually fed through the convenient loading port. Includes the Lee case feed magazine, works with most hand gun cases and all AR rifle cases.
·         Easy to set case retainers on every station. No springs, plugs or buttons to lose or tinker with.
·         Cartridge changeover in seconds, including primer size with no adjustments.
·         Automatic case ejector reliably whisks away your completed round to the ammo bin. Press includes combination tool rack, bin bracket, along with free ammo bin.

Things that got my attention:
Price – only $20 more than a Load Master. Lee had their annual increase now so we have not received any stock at the new pricing yet, so what the difference here will be is unknown. I can point out that the Lee annual increase was quite big. LM prices went up by $60.

Six stations! – Yes, please. The more the better. Can you say Powder Check Die?

Priming at the bottom – I like it!

No plastic like the Pro4000! – The carrier is definitely an evolution of the Pro4000 and dankie tog they dropped that plastic rail cover.

I also see the index pin on the base which is great.

Linkage! – Uses the linkage of the Classic Cast and Classic Turret, those are some solid linkages. That would make this a solid press!

Sold setup in 6.5CM – Good news for rifle reloaders.

I doubt if all the above will be available here but our agents will cater for the most popular calibres.

We will post more info as it becomes available.

Lee states that it will be available in the early summer in the States, so say about June. When it will be available here is a guess at the moment...my guess will be July/August.

Looks impressive, but I guess it's still a long way away for us in darkest Africa.
I am curious to see the changes they decided on in this offering.

I am hoping they are here end of next month. Our one agent is holding a shipment back to get some of these here.

I am excited to get one on my bench. Want to see how the priming system works...it looks like a new direction for Lee.
