Lee Precision900304-SSI Breech Lock Challenger Kit - multi, N/A

Q: I am new to loading. Which kit is better this one (the challenger kit) or the 50th anniversary kit? Your input would be greatly appreciated.

I personally feel the Lee Challenger kit is a better value. The principle difference between the two versions of Lee's single stage kit is the method of priming the brass cases. The Challenger kit comes with the Lee Autoprime XR hand priming tool, whereas the 50th Anniversary Kit comes with the Lee Easy Prime system that mounts on the press itself. In theory the Easy Prime system sounds better, but I've heard of it giving people difficulties if anything at all is out of alignment. The Autoprime handheld tool just works, and in my opinion it works very well.

Q: what all do I need to reload 223? I will handwash casings and besides primers and powder, but like rifle casing trimming, dies, etc?

You'll need a full-length die, a bullet seating die (these should come in a set with shell holders but if not, a shell holder), case lube and lube pad (Hornady case lube and RCBS lube pad work really well), a case neck brush, a priming system (Lee dies have a priming tool that installs into the shaft of the press, but they also make a hand priming tool), primer pocket cleaner, a case length gauge/trimming system (Lee makes good cheap ones), a digital caliper to measure overall length, bullets, powder, powder scale (funnel too), small rifle primers, and of course brass. I would recommend getting a tumbler too. I have a nano one that only cost around $30. If you get this kit, it comes with a powder scale and funnel and both priming systems I was talking about. It also comes with a drop tube for spent primers to keep them all together until its time to dump them.

Q: I have a set of 10mm Dillon Dies will it work on this Lee press?

The dies will work as long as they are the standard dies and not the square deal b.

Q: Once familiar with this, how many rounds per hour should I be able to turn out?

start to finish(9mm) (resize to crimp) is about 100 per hour. i batch load, meaning i deprime/resize, and prime in batches. when i am ready to charge,insert bullet and crimp i can do about 200-250 per hour.

Great value, well made starting set up

As with all the Lee reloading equipment it’s a very well thought out and engineered product at a very good price. All you need is the die set for your caliber and you are good to go. As reloading is a very precise discipline you do need to be very careful and thorough, or the consequences can be expensive and dangerous. I would recommend this press set to anyone starting out, get the Lee reloading manual for guidance on the safe way to proceed and it’s wealth of reloading data in every known calibration and bullet size and you will have a fascinating new hobby and save a fortune in ammo costs

Initially disappointing

The kit I expected, having seen the photo on your site and confirmed the manufacturers part number with the supplier, was not as expected. It contained old components which the manufacturer has withdrawn on safety grounds.
