Lee Breech Lock Challenger Press

Reloading is a popular pastime here in the UK, allowing shooters to produce their own bespoke rifle, pistol, and shotgun ammunition whenever they need it.
Lee Precision has been designing and manufacturing affordable equipment since 1958. Their products include die sets, shell holders, priming tools, case trimmers, and even books. Combined with the correct die/tool, their Lee Breech Lock Challenger Press can be used to de-prime, resize, trim, re-prime, and seat a new bullet into an old case.

It can be mounted onto a workbench using just three bolts and is manufactured from cast aluminium. It includes a durable powder-coated finish and an all-steel linkage. The handle includes a wooden ball for comfort, and it can be easily attached to either side of the press. Once in position, it operates the 1 1/8” diameter hollow ram, which also incorporates the Lee Lever Prime System. This can be used to seat cases with either small or large primers, by simply swapping out the appropriate arm. The press comes with a rubber tube that can be attached to the base, helping to dispose of spent primers.

The frame itself can accept standard 7/8-14 dies from all the major manufacturers, and to make things faster, it is compatible with Lee Quick-Change Breech Lock Bushings. These can easily be removed by hand, with just a 1/6 turn.

Overall, it’s a strong, versatile, and affordable press that will give years of valuable service.
