I just bought the Lee Pro1000 press that includes the 38 special accessories. I want to be able to reload the 9-mm luger rounds. What do I need?

You just need the 9mm die set. The instructions for their set comes with the dies

Just need the 9mm die set, corresponding base plate brass and bullets. That should cover it

you will need 9mm dies, i recommend carbide dies, but i WOULD STILL LUBE CASES. Check out this video; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cntPOoRlfLk

No, you will need the Lee Precision 5 Hole Turret for the Load Master Press.

Lee makes a 300 H&H; mag die and I am pretty sure this hand press will reload that cal. It is a pretty universal system as long as you have the die set.

The most important item you should have is quality reloading manuals, preferably several. I highly recommend "The ABC's of Reloading" and "Lyman's 49th Edition", as well as various ones from bullet and powder manufacturers. For a wealth of information offered cheerfully by many experienced reloaders, join the FaceBook group "Reloading 101: Learning The Art". "Dumb" questions are welcomed and rudeness is not tolerated by the moderators.

Yes: Any RCBS, Hornady, or Lee should work you'll need them to reload, so shouldn't be a problem.

I do the same as Jummy. I believe mine came with two from kempf gun shop, if you are doing rifle they have an amazing kit with everything you will need. You also get a free set of dies. As for pistol, look into the lee pro disk adjustable charge bar, very accurate with most powders and no messing around with trying to find out what disk you need.

Yes, BUT......you need to get the appropriate dies AND shell plates for the press. If Amazon doesn't have them, try ebay, and if not there, go to the Lee Website, for sure they have them.

Equipment wise you will only need a set of 9mm and 45 lee carbide dies. Though I recommend the lee hand priming tool and universal priming shell holders as the press doesn't prime as fast as you can with that piece.

These dies use the industry-standard 7/8-14 thread pitch, that will work with all reloading presses using standard dies. That includes all Lee, RCBS, Dillon and Hornady presses. Don't have to buy any special press at all. My personal favourite for a single-stage is the old RCBS Rock Chucker. Classic design, available all over the place, and works just fine.

I wouldn't recommend using this press. I decapped exactly 42 32 winchester special cases and it broke the brand new press right off the base. I recommend the LEE BREECHLOCK CHALLENGER. I bought the press only for about $70. Works great.

You need to buy the parts to set up for the caliber you wont to load. Dies.Shell plate.bullet die. etc. The press will load Pistol and Rifle.

You should only need the .45 acp Lee die set.... the .40 dies just screw out and the new ones will screw in... As for the shell plate you will need one sized for .45 acp

I suggest the carbide 4 die set, that way you have the option to use the fcd to see if it improves your reloads or not. I actually bought the 3 die set and purchased the fcd separately and wish I would have bought the 4 die set to start with and saved some time and money. I don't mind the extra step even with a single stage press.

Yes, that was what i purchased to reload for my 308. All of my components are Lee - easy to use and understand.

If you plan on doing the whole reloading operation on that one press, then you should only need just the one she'll holder. I myself use an RCBS press for everything except the priming operation. I use a Lee auto primer for that, so I need an RCBS, and a Lee shell holder.

You'll need a full-length die, a bullet seating die (these should come in a set with shell holders but if not, a shell holder), case lube and lube pad (Hornady case lube and RCBS lube pad work really well), a case neck brush, a priming system (Lee dies have a priming tool that installs into the shaft of the press, but they also make a hand priming tool), primer pocket cleaner, a case length gauge/trimming system (Lee makes good cheap ones), a digital caliper to measure overall length, bullets, powder, powder scale (funnel too), small rifle primers, and of course brass. I would recommend getting a tumbler too. I have a nano one that only cost around $30. If you get this kit, it comes with a powder scale and funnel and both priming systems I was talking about. It also comes with a drop tube for spent primers to keep them all together until its time to dump them.

Since you got the 38 special accessories, I would advise you get a totally new set of 9mm dies. I know the 38 special brass is a lot longer than the 9mm Lugar (9x19mm) and dies are not that easy to fine tune. So a separate set of dies would require a lot less of fuss.
