Availability: In Stock
The Lee Precision Challenger Press 40th Anniversary Edition brings four decades of proven single-stage reloading into a limited-time package that pairs the legendary Challenger III press with a complete 3-die Breech Lock set for .45 ACP. If you're serious about hand-loading rifle or pistol ammunition and want a workhorse press that delivers consistency without breaking the bank, this anniversary bundle cuts out the hassle of sourcing dies separately and gets you reloading faster.
The Challenger III builds on the reputation that made Lee's single-stage press a standard in reloading shops and home ranges for four decades. The redesigned lever is ergonomically contoured to reduce fatigue during long loading sessions—no more awkward stooping at the bottom of the stroke. Spent primers drop cleanly through the ram into a collection tube, keeping your workspace cleaner and protecting the frame and linkage from debris. The priming station sits front and center where you can see what you're doing, and the Lee Lever Prime System requires no tools to swap primers between batches.
The real game-changer is the Breech Lock Quick Change system built into the press. Swap dies in seconds with a simple twist—no re-adjusting your sizing depth or bullet seating every time you switch calibers. The included 3-die set comes with color-coded Smart Lock bushings so you can instantly identify which die is which, a full-length sizing die, bullet seating die, powder-through expander, universal shell holder, powder dipper, and load data instructions to get started immediately.
Built on Lee's unbreakable O-frame design with all-steel linkage and an adjustable lever, the Challenger III is engineered to handle thousands of reloads. For reloaders who value reliability and no-nonsense functionality over fancy frills, this 40th anniversary edition delivers serious value in a single-stage platform that will outlast its user.
