I want to load 38 spl and 9mm and want a good single stage press. I am considering the Lee Challenger Breech Lock because of the ability to set a die in the holder and not have to re-adjust it each time that I reload a small batch (100 or so).

check into the Hornady LnL Single Stage

that's what I use - great press setup - I highly recommend it

they use bushings so you can lock down your dies and change them in and out in a second
and they have lifetime warranty
