Lee 1000 vs 4000. Seems these are very similar presses (same price too) except the 4000 has 4 stations (instead of 3) and seems like it is not restricted in primer brand like the 1000. Anyone have experience with both?
Major difference for me is the 1000 has a kit that includes a 45 Colt die set and the 4000 does not (have to buy separate). I know buy a better press (buy once cry once) but I truly want just a starter progressive press to see if I will stay with reloading.
