The Lee Breech-Lock Challenger single stage is a snap to change dies on. Once you have your dies set in the quick-change bushings, they're set indefinitely. Changing a die or caliber takes all of 5 seconds, and they're set exactly the same as you had them last time you used them..Jumping Frog wrote:FWIW, my first press was a Lee Loadmaster, so it can be done.lkd wrote:Spoken like somebody who is really out of touch with the beginning reloader's challenges.
Regarding your "Ease of Caliber change", personally I think it is easier to change calibers on a progressive. I swap the old turret out and the new turret in and change shellplates in about 2 minutes.
Regardless of the press type, the first time you load a new caliber you need to set the dies correctly. After that initial setting, you should be able to swap dies or turrets in quickly without having to reset everything.
Regarding "Load Accuracy", I think you should distinguish between rifle and pistol, as they are hugely different.
