Some Frequently Asked Questions

The Challenger kit includes many of the same components as the fiftieth Anniversary kit and both of them are single stage kits. The main difference between the two is in the method of priming your brass cases.

Challenger has the AutoprimeXRhand-priming tool and Anniversary has the Easy Prime system that mounts on the press itself. Easy Prime does not work well when things are out of alignment. Therefore, Autoprime is the better version.

All standard dies work on the Challenger press.

It does not come with a bench mount. You will have to purchase that separately.
