Lee Automatic Processing Press (The APP)
The Lee Automatic Processing Press, known simply as the APP, stands as a paragon of innovation in the realm of reloading equipment. This press is engineered to streamline your case preparation and bullet sizing with unmatched speed and efficiency.
What sets the APP apart is its pioneering patented design that allows for unprecedented versatility. With die mounting options on both the top and bottom, it transforms into a marvel of automation within a single station setup. Tasks such as depriming, primer pocket swaging, bulge busting, or cast bullet sizing are performed swiftly—limited only by how fast you can operate its lever.
This compact powerhouse boasts substantial heft due to its robust construction from materials meticulously chosen for their specific roles. The steel lever features our specially designed power grip which underwent numerous iterations to achieve optimal comfort and ambidextrous utility.
The press employs aluminum for its upper and lower die carriers while utilizing nylon or acetal copolymer where stress levels permit more flexible components. Its engineering includes two centerless ground columns supporting an upper carrier balanced centrally by a coil spring—a thoughtful addition preventing accidental handle drops that could result in pinched fingers.
A standout feature is the frameless architecture ensuring direct force application through steel linkages rather than relying on frame strength alone. This design affords unparalleled visibility and hand clearance during operation—a true boon for precision tasks.
Simplicity extends to installation; mount it effortlessly on any bench or table without concern for under swing obstructions. The APP arrives complete with all necessary feed tubes, tube supports, risers, case slider—and even 22-caliber bullet feed jaws—to ensure you're fully equipped straight out of the box.
