The Lee 50th Anniversary Breech Lock Challenger Kit is one of the best ways to get a reloading bench up and running without hunting down every tool piece by piece. It centers on the Breech Lock Challenger press, a classic O-frame single stage design known for being strong, simple, and beginner-friendly. The press uses standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies and ships with a Breech Lock quick-change bushing, so once a die is dialed in you can pop it in and out with a twist of the wrist and never touch the adjustment again.
The Challenger runs a solid aluminum O-frame with a generous 4-1/4" opening angled at 30 degrees, which gives your hand plenty of clearance when seating bullets or working longer rifle cases. Linkage and the ram are steel, the handle mounts on either the right or left for ambidextrous use, and spent primers drop straight through the ram and out the bottom for easy cleanup. It handles everything from short pistol brass up through full-length rifle resizing without flexing on you.
This is a true start-to-finish package. You get the Perfect Powder Measure for repeatable charges, the sensitive Lee Safety Scale for verifying them, and a powder funnel for clean case filling. On the case prep side there's a cutter and lock stud for trimming, an inside/outside chamfer tool, small and large primer pocket cleaners, and a tube of resizing lube. The Large and Small Safety Prime feeders let you prime with push-button ease and never have to handle a primer by hand.
Newcomers love this kit because it covers the whole reloading cycle in one box, and longtime loaders keep one around as a dependable second station. It's made in the USA, and feedback consistently points to a scale that reads right on the money and a powder measure that throws consistent charges session after session. Just keep in mind you'll want to add cartridge-specific dies, shell holders, and components to match what you're loading.
No, the kit does not include cartridge-specific dies, shell holders, or case length gauges. The press accepts any standard 7/8"-14 threaded dies, so you add the die set and shell holder for whatever caliber you plan to load. You'll also need to supply your own components like brass, primers, powder, and bullets.
Yes. This Anniversary kit includes the Large and Small Safety Prime feeders, which let you seat primers right on the press with push-button convenience. That feeder setup is an upgrade over the basic Challenger kit, which relies on a separate hand priming tool.
It's one of the most popular starter kits out there for a reason. The Challenger is a simple, strong single-stage press, and the kit bundles the powder measure, scale, and case prep tools you need to work through the whole reloading cycle. Pair it with a good loading manual, the dies for your caliber, and your components, and you're set to start.
The bushing holds your die in a locking insert so you can snap dies in and out of the press with a quick twist instead of threading them in each time. Once a die is set in its bushing, your adjustment stays put, so you don't have to re-dial it every session. The kit comes with one bushing, and you can buy more to keep each of your dies ready to drop in.
