Andy's comments are right on. the Pro 1000 maybe a poor choice if you're not mechanically inclined and/or easily frustrated. With that caveat it is capable of turning out ammo at an affordable price once you learn how to operate it. I have 2 that have easily cranked out 20K rounds. I purchased both with the thought I'd upgrade at a later date... haven't seen a compelling reason to do so as they just keep working. They long ago recouped my initial investment and while I might not recommend them to everyone, I'm not selling mine anytime soon.
