we believe it is the dropper that is off or the scale sometimes it weighs good sometimes not charges are inconcsistent and cant tell what the issue is (scale or dropper) based on technical complexity id say powder dropper.

 

any one else have the same breech lock challendger 100 buck kit and find issue with the powder dropper or scale.

which powder drop do you have? the bench top one or did you buy the auto powder measure with disks; imho the lee scale is decent if you know how to use it kinda tough watch the youtube video on it by iraqiveteran888 or some ****... i would honestly buy a better scale and pick up the lee auto powder measure. i have been reloading 5 years now i have upgraded everything to pretty much dillon but i started on a lee challenger press and still use it for rifle rounds let me know if any more questions

I have the same kit. What powder are you using? I've read that some powders don't do well with the perfect powder measure. I only reload rifle with this and have only used Varget and H322 and they both seem to do pretty well. Setting it up took a little bit of time, but once that was done it throws pretty consistently. Also if you haven't done it yet make sure you run a couple hoppers worth of powder through it.

done the hoppers of powder already and it reloaded damn near 1000 rounds of 9mm fine and now when we went to adjust to .45 its all fussy

 

and i am using unique

 

and it is the table top lee perfect powder measure that came in the challenger kit

Get the Pro Disk auto measure. Deadly reliable/accurate. The perfect powder measure is not bad.... but not as accurate. It can be alot more precise... but not consistent as the pro disks.

ill check it out

 

 

 

edit: maks isn that for progressive rigs? how could i use it on a single stage?

It screws right into the Lee Expander die. (powder through expander) So you expand and load powder in one shot. I now use the pro disk to replace the hornady powder measure my press came with.

I'll look into it thanks

Did you try opening the silver filler tube and checking for clogs?

 

The Lee reloader book says that you should periodicly check the measure and the through powder die for clogs.

 

Lastly, after opening that silver tube that holds the black adjustment rod, you will likely throw the whole thing off. Even turning the silver end cap a little will knock off the adustment. After checking for a clog (new out of box Midway suggests you add mica powder to prevent stickage in that tube) I had to recalibrate the measure using the scale so that the adjustment rod matched its actual output.

Ok that sounds good ill check it out
