Availability: In Stock
The Lee Precision 40th Anniversary Pack with 40 S&W Breech Lock 3-Die Set is a limited-edition single-stage reloading press bundle designed for handloaders who want proven reliability without unnecessary complexity. This commemorative package pairs the Challenger III Press—the third generation of Lee's bestselling single-station press—with a complete 40 S&W die set and accessories, giving you everything needed to start reloading centerfire handgun ammunition right out of the box.
The Challenger III retains the core strengths that made the original a favorite among handloaders: a solid O-frame design, all-steel linkage, and smooth operation. Lee added an ergonomically designed lever that reduces strain during extended reloading sessions and eliminates the need to stoop at the bottom of the stroke. Spent primers drop through the ram into a convenient collection tube, keeping your press and workspace cleaner and making cleanup faster. The priming station is positioned front and center, and the Lee Lever Prime System remains a quick, tool-free swap when you're ready to switch primers or move between cartridges.
What sets this press apart for folks who reload multiple calibers is the Breech Lock Quick Change Die System. Swap dies with a simple twist—no wrench work, no re-zeroing after a die change. The system works with standard dies from any manufacturer, so you're not locked into Lee products down the road. The included 40 S&W die set features color-coded Smart Lock bushings for fast visual identification, a carbide sizing die (which handles the work without needing to resize after every shot), a powder-through expanding die, bullet seating die, universal shell holder, powder dipper, and load data instructions. This is a no-frills, straightforward press built to run for decades.
