Lee Deluxe Automatic Processing Press (APP) Progressive Press Kit$105.40
Availability: In Stock
The Lee Automatic Processing Press (APP) is a single-stage reloading press engineered for shooters who want serious speed without stepping up to a progressive system. Unlike conventional single-stage presses locked into one die position, the APP's patented design lets you mount dies top or bottom, opening up automation options that were previously impossible on a single-station platform. Whether you're depriming, swaging primer pockets, sizing cast bullets, or bust-bulging, you can cycle cases as fast as your lever arm moves—making it equally at home as a dedicated specialty press for high-volume operations or a nimble companion to your progressive setup.
The engineering here is genuinely thoughtful. A frameless design channels forces directly through steel linkages to the dies rather than stressing the frame itself, while an upper die carrier rides on two centerless ground and roller-burnished columns for precision and longevity. Aluminum upper and lower carriers keep weight reasonable; nylon and acetal components handle low-stress duty. The symmetrical power grip—molded steel handles designed through multiple iterations—works equally well left or right-handed, and a coil spring counterbalance prevents the handle from dropping and pinching fingers. You get nearly unlimited visibility and hand clearance, typical of quality single-stage design, plus simple bench mounting with no under-swing interference.
The Deluxe model steps it up with the full Automation package: a revolutionary case and bullet feeder with self-opening jaws that grasp, position, and release rounds in rapid succession. The new X-press shell holder lets cases pass completely through after processing, dramatically speeding workflow. This kit ships with three popular X-press shell holders (sizes 2, 4, and 19) covering more than 60 cartridges, plus all feed tubes, tube supports, risers, case slider, and 22-caliber bullet feed jaws. The press accepts standard 7/8-14 dies from any manufacturer via Lee Breech Lock bushings, works with most standard shell holders, and features a spent-primer capture bottle that collects 100% of contaminated empties. Stroke length exceeds three inches, accommodating larger belted magnum cartridges.
| Press Type | Single-stage |
| Die Compatibility | 7/8-14 standard dies (via Lee Breech Lock bushings) |
| Die Mounting | Top or bottom (patented design) |
| Stroke Length | Over 3 inches |
| Upper Carrier | Aluminum, rides on two centerless ground columns |
| Lower Carrier | Aluminum |
| Handles/Lever | Steel with molded symmetrical power grip |
| Frame Design | Frameless |
| Counterbalance | Coil spring (upper carrier) |

| Included Automation Components | Case and bullet feeder, feed tubes, tube supports, risers, case slider, 22-caliber bullet feed jaws |
| Included Breech Lock Bushing | One Spline drive bushing |
| Patent | 10,076,781 B1 |
Yes. The APP accepts standard 7/8-14 dies from any manufacturer when used with Lee Breech Lock bushings (one included). The Deluxe model comes with three X-press shell holders (sizes 2, 4, and 19) that cover over 60 cartridges, and it's compatible with most standard shell holders as well.
The press has a stroke length over 3 inches, allowing it to size larger belted magnum cartridges. The included X-press shell holders (sizes 2, 4, and 19) work on more than 60 different cartridges, so check the specific holder sizes for your intended loads.
The Deluxe kit includes the full Automation package: an automatic case and bullet feeder with self-opening jaws, three X-press shell holders, all feed tubes, tube supports, risers, a case slider, 22-caliber bullet feed jaws, one Spline drive breech lock bushing, and a universal shell holder quick-change adapter. The press also includes a screw-top bottle for spent-primer capture.
The APP works well in both roles. Its compact footprint, simple bench mounting, and affordability make it a solid entry-level single-stage option. Its speed and automation features also make it an excellent specialist press alongside a progressive, especially for dedicated cast-bullet sizing, swaging, or depriming operations.
