To convert the Pro-1000 from a large caliber to small caliber or a small to large, you may need to convert the following:
1) New Shell Plate/Shell Plate Carrier
2) Dies
3) Turret (90497) = http://leeprecision.com/3-hole-turret
4) Powder Measure
5) Bullet Feed Kit
If you are loading a larger or small diameter cartridge, a new Bullet Feeder and Bullet Seat and Feed Die may also need to be purchased = http://leeprecision.com/reloading-presses/progressive-presses/progressive-press-accessories/bullet-feed-kit/
NOTES:
If the desire is to load 45 ACP or 40 S&W, and you have a "Z" bar on your press, it is necessary to update to the return spring setup= Replace Z bar on Pro 1000 with new style Return Spring (Replaces TR2452A Standard Z Bar and TR2452B Bent Z Bar)
Some 45 ACP brass now have small primer pockets. Do not attempt to load these cases with large primer feed, else explosion and damage to tool is likely to occur.
The 50 AE can be loaded however, the case feeder cannot be used as the large size is too small. It is also necessary to lube the cases as the dies are steel.
