Yes I have a pro 2000 and i got it 2000, the same year they came out . its really nice and this is how it is set up. first stage would involve the depriming stage, second stage would involve the belling and the priming stage when you put the primer. Everything is being done by the right hand, the aps primer works really well and is much safer than tubes. no danger of detonation. Then you put a new brass and a bullet then turn the shell holder..
the 3rd stage is the powder drop, this powder is being measured by volume, the 4th stage is the bullet setting and the 5th and last stage is the factory crimp die. which ever your option is, its so flexible.. you dont havescattered primers all over the place because they have a brass catcher. You have a 5 stage die plate which you could use to leave your dies. Change of caliber for pistol is easy, but change of caliber for change of the setting fromt the powder drop could take about 3 minutes approx.
it would load about 250 to 300 on a regular pace. i think they could do much better. aps priming system is really good solution.
Very durable and would last a long time. Very good company warranty on all products.
