[QUOTE="swampratt, post: 2557709, member: 15054"] yes i am.. I just go slow with already primed and sized brass that i did on my single stage Lee classic cast . I then twist in my powder through expander die and set it up for station 1. Then station 2 gets the bullet seating die . then the 3rd hole gets my lee carbide crimp die and i size the case back down with this and done. When beginning i manually install an empty primed brass casing and flare and fill with pull 1. then slowly bring the press handle back up and now the filled case is in the second position where the Lee primer seater is .......Be careful here if you pull the handle up too far the primer seater will flip the case out of the shell holder..SOOOO you do not bring the press handle all the way up. I manually install a lead bullet and install another case into position 1 and pull the handle down and fill a case and seat a bullet in the first case. Then bring the handle 3/4 the way back up and again and again and again... It keeps plopping out ammo.... I just had to try it as the single stage is a bit slow for making a bunch of ammo. Here is something else i have done. The shell plate will not advance until you move the press arm a little ways. I have a light load with AA#5 powder and i have a fairly quick 357 mag load 1300fps with the same powder.. just so happens my light load is exactly 1/2 of my fast hotter load.. so i do 2 pulls on the press arm to do a double fill on my case. Remember I do NOT move the press arm enough to allow the shell plate to advance. Neat things you can do with the Lee press. When you go to set up the powder through expander die if you use one and the Lee powder measure together you should look down the hole that the powder comes out of to fill the case...Make sure the disc hole is completely over the through hole and all powder gets dropped into the case. Pretty simple. You can also adjust it too far and over flare the case..Well over flare to me anyway..I hate to work my brass too much. You will figure it out soon!!! :) [/QUOTE]
