Lee Precision Anniversary Challenger Kit II

This is a great way to get into handloading if you have never done it before or think you might want to try it. I've priced out all the things that this comes with at sporting goods stores like Cabela's and this saves you quite a bit of cash. There are a few things to consider before buying though: 1.) If you know for sure that you want to hand load and you have even the slightest desire to buy a progressive press, save the money and go buy the progressive press. I loved that this kit helped me break into the hobby but I've only had it for 2 months and loaded about 1500 rounds or so, BUT I'm already looking to buy a Dillion progressive press. Using a single stage is very time consuming. You can pump out about 50 in a little under an hour if you're really cooking and focusing on what you're doing, but you can easily do 50 in about 5 minutes with a progressive press so keep that in mind. If you're just looking for a starter kit though, this is a great kit. Everything works well and I haven't had any issues. People really hate the priming setup with this but I love it. Hand priming just adds another step to the process and with this setup you can easily prime the brass with hardly any extra time. You will need to buy a few things besides this kit to get started: -Some kind of brass tumbler to clean spent brass. I like the Franklin Armory vibratory tumbler. It's super economical at about $35 and gets the brass really clean if not super polished. If you need to have a mirror finish on your brass then look elsewhere but why? -Dies for whatever calibers you want to reload. You can get these for about $30 - $40 depending on if you want the factory crimp die. Do a little research and see what you want. -Definitely want some die bushings. These let you change out dies super fast and save a lot of time and save your wrists some carpel tunnel. -MUST buy a digital scale. Franklin Armory again has a good cheap one that can be had for about $25. The scale that comes with this "works" but you're going to spend about an hour fiddling with it, to get it zeroed and make sure that the powder throw is throwing the correct charge. If you change calibers at all then you will definitely want an electronic scale. The balance one is a piece of crap. I promise you, it will be $25 well spent. Don't suffer as I did. Just buy one. TL;DR It's a great kit to get you started, but you'll outgrow it quickly.

Bought as a first-time reloader and it is IMO the best way to get started. Works awesome for 9mm which is where I have started. Will also be using it for reloading 7.62x54R for my Mosin later on. The press is great, the perfect powder measure works awesome and is very consistent as long as you do your research and buy a powder that meters well (I'm using W231). The scale is not as fast as digital scale but if you're not changing charge weights super often that's an non-issue. It works just fine for my use, no plans to upgrade. The whole thing feels like quality to me, even the plastic parts. I think this kit will last me many, many years to come as long as I take care of it and don't abuse it. I haven't had a chance to use the included chamfering and deburring tool as I haven't yet reloaded any rifle cartridges with this kit. They look 100% serviceable to me though. If you're just getting into reloading, you should know that you'll need a set of dies for your specific caliber, as well as a shellholder (which usually come with the set of dies for that caliber). I ended up buying an RCBS shellholder for 9mm, which works identically to the Lee one. Note that you need to make sure you get a shellholder that has the smaller circle on the bottom which clips into the ram on the press. I made the mistake of buying a flat-bottomed shellholder intended for use with a hand priming tool by accident first. Oops. I also recommend picking up enough Lee quick release bushings to just leave one on all of your dies, even when they're not in use. That way you can dial in each die to the correct height and setting one time and then never have to worry much about it again; just pop it in the press and go. My one complaint is that mine didn't come with the little attachment to auto-feed primers into the holder that presses them into the casing on the downstroke after resizing. I just have to put a primer into the little pocket by hand on each shell. Not a huge deal but a little annoying that it's pictured as part of the kit and then didn't come with one.

Hat alles was man zum Wiederladen braucht, nur Matrizen für das jeweilige Kaliber sind noch zu besorgen und schon kann es losgehen.

Great quality kit! It's a nice entry level collection to get the beginner into rolling their own ammunition. Basically all tools to start reloading. Add your diesnm of choice for your caliber (I choose Lee Dies). Don't forgot to order the quick trim dies for your desired caliber brass to be timmed with the included quick trim tool. Add Calipers, bullet puller (your gunna make mistakes), and definitely a quality Reloading manual. Oh and you will need to aquire your own bolts to secure it to your loading bench. I've loaded approximately 80 rounds of 38-55, and this is definitely paying for itself. Was a great investment and a new found hobby. The single stage press is great to lean on, let's the amateur focus on each step of the process while not complicating the process with other tasks. I opted to add a digital scale for ease of use, but did weight out a few charges on the scale provided and it works as it should. The press feels super sturdy and with proper tool care and use should last many many years.. Definitely recommend, I really don't have anything to compare it to as to other kits, but for the price you can't beat it and I've very very pleased! K6u Shipping speed was excellent through Amazon, and the set up instructions were well layed out in the included manual for setup. Dislikes, there really isn't much to dislike about this kit... contains all the basic components and they work... if I dislike anything i feel it should have included a reloading manual.

Can’t fault it, I wouldn’t just give it a go without some knowledge or someone showing you how to use it as it isn’t something to play about with. If your new to reloading be sure to understand what’s needed, as a mistake could have a catastrophic result. But if you know what ur doing, it’s a good bit of kit
