My older autodrum failed. The bottom part the ears spread out. It caused the rest to tilt and not drop reliable charges. I ''fixed'' the tilt. By putting a hose clamp on to hold the bottom tight. I still got erratic charges. Not just a few point off. But where no charge to over charged. I have a newer autodrum. I'll see how long that last.

Im happy with my lee press's and pistol dies. The only problem i had my turret press. I could not get the ratchets to last. Then the plastic clamp broke. I index by hand now. I checked my newer autodrum. It's starting to spread. I clamped it. At least it's throwing accurate charges. What is the indexing system on the 1000 made of ? I been thinking of going progressive too. The Hornady AP is what im leaning towards.

Maybe i load more than some of the Lee products are designed for? When the pandemic started. I had the the feeling to stock up. Besides powders i bought 10k LP. And 5k each of SP,SR and LR. I went through all of it besides what i had on hand except for LP. I Have 7k left. The auto prime is one of the 1st things i sold. After Lee was nice and sent me new of the plastic things on the end. They sent me 2 of ea. Must be a common thing that breaks.

I found something that will work. I'll mount it on the press with the bar that come with it.

I did call Lee. They said they would replace or fix if i send. But ship on my dime. I figured the new ones will only do it again. And ill be sending in again. And so on. In time the shipping cost would add up to the price of a better powder drop,
Ordered it through cabelas 95.39 after taxes with a coupon.
