Description
The Lee Deluxe APP Automatic Processing Press takes the slowest, most tedious part of reloading and makes it quick. This is a benchtop press that brings the kind of automatic priming you usually only find on expensive progressive machines, but in a compact, single-stage footprint. Cases and primers feed automatically as you work the lever, so you can rip through case prep without stopping to fiddle with shell holders or chase that perfect seating feel.
Lee built this one around their patented automatic primer feed system, and it handles seating without any guesswork. Primers go in uniformly every stroke, no adjustments and no relying on feel. It works with any brand or size of primer, and swapping between small and large is about as painless as it gets. You twist out the priming chamber, swap the pin and primer guide, and you're back in business in seconds.
What the Deluxe APP Kit Brings to the Bench
This is the loaded version of the APP. Lee started with the basic press and added the roller handle for smoother, more comfortable cycling, the universal four-tube case feed magazine so brass drops in on its own, and the APP Deprime Kit to knock out spent primers. A bottle adapter rounds out the package. The design is ambidextrous, so lefties and righties both run it comfortably, and the frameless build gives you excellent visibility and hand clearance around the die.
Growing With Your Lee APP Press
Once you finish priming, twist out the priming tool and drop in the included shell holder adapter. From there the press opens up to the full lineup of APP accessories. You can size cast bullets, expand case mouths, bulge bust, or run a primer pocket swage. It accepts standard 7/8-14 dies through the Breech Lock bushing system and works with standard press shell holders, so it fits right into a bench you've already built around other gear. Maximum case length runs up to 30-06, which covers the vast majority of handgun and rifle brass most folks process.

Frequently Asked Questions
What can the Lee Deluxe APP press do besides priming?
Once you swap the priming tool for the included shell holder adapter, the press opens up to the full range of APP accessories. You can deprime spent brass, size cast bullets, expand case mouths, bulge bust, and run a primer pocket swage. It's built as a dedicated processing press, so case prep is its specialty.
Does the Deluxe APP Kit work with standard reloading dies?
Yes. The press accepts standard 7/8-14 dies from any manufacturer through the Breech Lock bushing system. It also uses standard press shell holders, so gear you already own on the bench will carry right over.
How hard is it to switch between small and large primers?
It's one of the easiest parts of running this press. You twist out the priming chamber and swap the pin and primer guide, and the whole change takes seconds. The system is safe with any brand or size of primer, so you aren't locked into one type.
Is the stand included with the Lee Deluxe APP Kit?
No, the reloading stand shown in many product photos is a separate accessory and is not part of this kit. The APP mounts to your bench or to the optional stand if you add one later. What you get here is the press, roller handle, priming system, case feeder, deprime kit, bottle adapter, and shell holder adapter.
