New to me Lee challenger

[Cheesemaker]

I had a Lee Challenger (still do) I replaced it with a Redding Big Boss II. Why? I started to reload .308 and I thought (wanted to think) the Lee was not up to it and needed a beefier press.
What want want's, want gets.
Never did try .308 on the Lee, I am sure it would be fine. It loaded more 44 Mag than I can remember.

Well, I did it. I sold the spartan and am going full steam ahead with the challenger. Just that and the hand press for now. I will get a lee turret though to try sometime when I finally get my room sorted out.

Good for you OP.

I’m a low volume loader (max 50 round batches) and use a breech lock Challenger for all my 9mm loading and my 45ACP priming/expanding (shown). It’s a fine piece of equipment.
