I loaned my 45 ACP dies out to someone, some time recently, and I have no clue to whom the loan was made. I have been looking for 45ACP dies, of any make, since the Shortages hit and there are none in any store. Today I was loitering about the Trading Post and I looked up on a high shelf and there was a Lee Pro-1000 progressive press in a box so old and dusty that it had turned chestnut brown. A squinted harder and it appeared to be labeled "45 ACP" so I had the clerk get it down. Sure enough, there was a set of 45 ACP dies inside. The owner came out and I explained my situation. He looked at the $189 price, looked at me, and said "Give me $40 and you can take the whole rig. Just get it the h-ll out of my store!" So now I have my 45ACP dies.... I'm tempted to toss the press into the dumpster. Had one in 38 Special. Hated it.
