First impressions breech lock Challenger

[Shooterrick2020]

Ran 50 rounds through the Lee breech lock Challenger press. Resized and primed. . Did not take long at all maybe 20 minutes. Managed to drop 3 primers but I had to get down with a broom and sweep to find but that happens. . 357 Magnum cases we're all new Starline brass. . The primers popped out of the cup
exiting the 357 brass from the die. . I've had the same thing happen on my auto breech lock Pro usually caused by that pop exiting longer brass from the resizing die. .

One small issue is the wooden ball on the arm is already loose. This is something from reading reviews I actually expected and it's an easy fix. Overall I like this little press and can see that when I move back to my Progressive with already sized and primed cases then should run pretty smooth.

I was hoping for a range day today but it's raining here in Louisiana and tomorrow I'm going with the girlfriend to her brother's for a shrimp boil. A weekend of reloading a Little Lovin and a shrimp boil still a grand weekend. Lolololol

Howdy Shooter, my handle ball never came loose but I did replace the small Lee
ball with a pool ball. So, So, So much better for old hands.
