    Lee kits

    Hi all what’s your thought on the challenger and anniversary kits , I did have a Dillon xl650 when I loaded lots of .223 but This is just for my .22 hornet and won’t get anything like as much use

    Nothing wrong with them -the same kit works for me-- BUT I will say chuck the scale away and get a better one --ie Lyman--- or rcbs

    I used one for 20 years in 7,62, 303 and 577 Snider. Won a couple of club comps with 7,62 reloads. I did eventually break the die-casting that links handle to ram lever, but it still worked even then.

    Not sure what they come with but make sure you have at least one breechlock bushing or a normal screw in die won't work. Better yet one for each die.
