Re: Lee Pro 1000?
No, I mean small. I have a bunch of Federal from Wal-Mart that has small primers.

I recommend doing a little research to eliminate the chain on the powder drop as well as the advise to keep the primer feeder slot from getting empty. In answer to the question of changing primer setups. The [b]45 will come with the large primer setup only so you will not have the equipment to load both in the beginning[/b]. If you decide you like it and purchase the 9mm you would then have all the pieces needed. To change out the primer devices requires you to take the machine almost completely apart (about the same as changing shell plates.) Lots of typing to say I enjoy mine but they are not for everybody. They work pretty well for pistol but I will do my .223 on my old RCBS from now on. Case feeder works well, bullet feeder not so much.
Hopes This Helps.
Thanks, I was not aware of that, I thought I had read somewhere that it came with both sizes. Hmmm That's cool, I wasn't sure I wanted to mess with small primers in the .45 anyway.
Looks like they are on sale at Cabelas plus 50cent shipping.

Re: Lee Pro 1000?
I have been researching this one for several months. I have reloaded before, I'm mechanicaly inclined, I'm stubborn, and I'm cheap. LOL Heavy on the stubborn. 
Heck I went against the masses and tuned a 1996 vintage Mini-14 into a dang fine 'yote gun, and a Taurus 1911 9mm into a sweet Steel gun. If nobody can give me a good reason not to, I think I will pick one up at Cabelas when I go up to Austin in October.
My theory is try one in .45acp, and if it goes well, I'll get one for the 9mm so I don't have to switch back and forth.
One problem I do have a question about. The .45 brass I have is about half and half large and small primer (Winchester and Federal) should I just get rid of the small primer stuff or is it easy enough to change the setup?
