So long story short, I have come across a Lee Challenger Anniversary kit, this one: http://www.midwayusa.com/product/42...om/product/423081/lee-challenger-breech-lock-single-stage-press-anniversary-kit

Kinda strange how it came to be, it was kinda out of the blue really but it was a phone call I was happy to get! I am going to let the Loadmaster back-order ride and that way I will have two presses, I figure the Challenger will be better for rifle round reloading should I ever decide to go down that road. The downside is that I will still need to find dies which seem to be as scarce as actual presses.

I am pretty excited to be having a two press reloading setup coming together, I was going to cancel the Loadmaster or pass on the Challenger but my g/f talked me into going with both.

I still use mine as much as one of the three progressives that I have set up.

That's what I started reloading with, and still my only press. I've loaded probably 4000 - 5000 pistol rounds on it. Great little press. Slow going, but I can do ~70 rounds an hour on it...

Glad to hear the positive feedback on it. I like the idea of having a single stage press too. My g/f has indicated interest in learning and I think it will be a more reliable unit. I figure I will always have the capability to reload now.

Same here. My first press and still using it. It is a bit slower by I really don't mind that. Makes me think about what I'm doing. Simple and gets the job done, what more could you ask for?

That is the same exact kit and press I currently use for 9mm, 223, and 308.

I would like to have another press for just 9mm and I would go with one like mine any day of the week. Can't really beat it for the price

I got the very same kit two years ago, still use it. I only load 44mag right now so it's all I really need. I got mine off Amazon for $112 shipped I think.
