After resizing and priming on my new Challenger press all the new brass for 357 that I had changing back over to my auto breech lock Pro Progressive was quick and easy with the mount plate. . I had 75 rounds of new brass left and they're all prepped and primed. I wanted to set up the dies so there was a vacant spot for a bullet feeding die.
I move the flaring and powder drop to the first position directly over the cam and ran a test round no problems at all. Actually with sizing and priming on the Challenger the flaring in powder drop die being directly over the cam makes a lot of sense. Of the functions being left to my Progressive that seems to me to be the most load-bearing. I've included a photo and you can clearly see the empty spot just waiting or my decision on which bullet feeding dye solution I choose.
Looking forward to running through the 75 rounds without concern about priming for having them pop out on the floor.

Probably doesn't help but I have an extra NEW Lee collator (90667) I don't need.

Thanks but no need. . I have a collator on my brass feed and I think I'm going to go with the Mr bullet Mini which uses 6 tube cartridges.GasGuzzler wrote:Probably doesn't help but I have an extra NEW Lee collator (90667) I don't need.

I use the Hornady bullet Feeder and it works perfectly with the ABL

I don't do brass on the press, so I also switched to powder drop on the 1st stage. That gave me room for an RCBS Lock-Out die in stage 2, and now I NEVER have a squib or double load. They're about $50, but worth every penny.

Re: New die configuration Auto breech lock Pro
Good choice! I have the MBR, Lee, Hornady, and RCBS feeder systems and the MBR is by far the best with no hiccups and easy to set up.Shooterrick2020 wrote:Thanks but no need. .
