The Best Reloading Products of 2025

After a few moribund years in terms of new products while manufacturers raced to catch up with their backlogs, reloading gear is picking up steam. No new powders this year—at least at the time this was written—but plenty of other stuff is hitting retailers’ shelves.

I’d actually expect an expansion in new-case offerings at some point, given the rise of so many new chamberings—the ARCs, the new 8.6 BLK and the like. Plus we know of at least one company that’s hard at work solving  the 7mm Backcountry puzzle, developing dies compatible with that cartridge’s Peak Alloy cases.

Here's a look at some highlight products.

RCBS UPM-3 Competition Powder Measure

RCBS calls this new measure its highest quality mechanical measure to date. It has a MatchMaster micrometer adjustable screw that allows precision adjustment and the ability to go back to any setting. It meters all types of powder by volume, with a range of 0.5 to 100 grains. $200 | RCBS.com

Hornady 3-in-1 Power Trimmer

In case you missed our review of this unit, here’s the short version. With a high-speed motor that spins at more than 2,000 rpm, the 3-in-1 trimmer simultaneously trims, chamfers and deburs cases. A click-adjustable micrometer gives you precise control and consistent trimming. Works on cases from .22 to .30 caliber and lengths from 1.45 to 2.5 inches. $775 | hornady.com

Lee .223 Challenger III Anniversary Pack

In honor of its 40th year, the Challenger III press is available as a kit with a free .223 Rem. Breech Lock three-die set plus shell holder, powder dipper and instructions/load data. The O-frame press has a larger-than-average four-inch opening for easy access and features the Lee Lever Prime along with the quick-change Breech Lock die system. The individual dies’ Smart Lock bushings are color-coded for easy identification. The press has an all-steel linkage, with an adjustable-length lever for comfortable loading. $120 | LeePrecision.com

Lyman 1500 Turbo Pro Tumbler

The 1500 boosts capacity over Lyman’s 1200 by about 25 percent—or about 200 .223 cases per cycle. The bowl has spiral agitators for aggressive tumbling, and the transparent polycarbonate lid seals tightly for dust-free operation. The wide base has rubber feet to keep it in place during operation. Two models are available: 110-volt with an inline power switch and a 220-volt with power switch on the base. $90 | LymanProducts.com

Lee Breech Lock .223 Hand Press Kit

A simple, go-anywhere loading solution, this hand press weighs just 1.75 pounds yet at 11.5 inches long still provides plenty of handloading power. The new .223 kit includes the press, Breech Lock three-die set (full-length, bullet seating and factory crimp), lock ring wrench, Breech Lock Ram Prime tool and storage box. $100 | LeePrecision.com

RCBS MatchMaster Funnel

You can go back and read our review in the July/August issue, but the quick version is this funnel is constructed of high-strength aluminum coated with an anti-stick finish that makes quick work of powder dispensing. The adapters provide a custom fit with your chosen case neck. Available as a kit with .224, 6mm, 6.5 mm. 7mm, .308 and .338 adapters or purchase the funnel standalone and add the adapter of your choice in calibers ranging from .17 to .50. $100 (kit), $40 (funnel), $20 (adapters) | RCBS.com

Lyman Accu-Prime and Auto Accu-Prime

The adjustable priming punch isn’t susceptible to differing cartridge rim thicknesses because instead of using the top of the rim to hold the case, the primer cup acts as a stop as the punch contacts the bottom surface of the case. This allows loaders to control primer depth below the bottom surface of the case. It has a helix-camming system and a side lever for easy operation, and it can be set up for left- or right-hand operation. The Auto Load version has a linear rail system for the primer feed tubes for smooth and consistent primer drop. $70 (manual), $175 (auto) | LymanProducts.com

Hornady One Shot Spray Bar

Evenly lube up to 25 cases at one time with this new spray bar, with a staggered and angled layout that maximizes surface exposure to spray lubes. It’s available in Small Rifle/ARC and Large Rifle/Magnum sizes, and each hole has an internal step to accommodate a broad range of case sizes. Bottom-drilled holes prevent lube pooling and buildup. $43 | hornady.com

Lyman Press Roller Handles

Speed up production and increase loading comfort with a handle that incorporates an aluminum roller grip to keep your hand in the same position throughout the press stroke. The handle is steel and designed to fit closely to the press frame. Available for Lyman All-American 8 turret, Lyman Victory, RCBS Rock Chucker and RCBS Rock Chucker Supreme. $65 | LymanProducts.com

Lee Micrometer Adjust Screw

Lee offers a micrometer adjust screw that replaces the original screw on any Lee seating die. Like the die, the screw is infinitely adjustable—no clicks—so you can adjust between thousandths. Available for rifle and large-caliber rifle. $20 | LeePrecision.com

Redding Bullet Seating Micrometers

Control seating depth in either standard or metric dimensions by switching your standard seating die plug with these new micrometer seaters, which will fit most standard Redding seating dies as well as many other brands. They’re available for standard and VLD shapes, as well as straight-wall cartridges, in 1/2x20 or 9/16x18 threads—plus a 5/18x18 thread for the company’s new Z Series dies. Will not fit Redding’s competition seating dies. $73 | redding-reloading.com

Lyman Turret Stand

Unclutter your bench with Lyman’s new stand, which will hold up to three turrets filled with dies. The metal stand has a wide base for stability, and it has nylon sleeves to separate turrets on the steel center post. Works for Lyman All-American 8, Lyman T-Mag and T-Mag II, and Redding T-7 turrets. $50 | LymanProducts.com

Lee Primer Pocket Gauge

Check to ensure your primer pockets meet SAAMI specs with Lee’s go/no-go gauges—alerting you to crimps that need to be removed or oversize pockets that lead to poor primer fit. Accommodates both Small Rifle and Large Rifle sizes. $11 | LeePrecision.com

Lyman Brass Smith Die Wrench

This die wrench fits all Lyman die nuts—die body, expander plug, seating screw and decapping rod lock nuts—as well as the one-inch lock nuts on its Pro dies and Dillon dies. It’s made of stainless steel, and the thinner side walls fit more easily between dies. $13 | LymanProducts.com

Redding Reloading XL Die Box

The biggest dies need the biggest boxes, and the new XL storage box is designed for Redding’s largest—including the large Competition and Z Series sets. The box doesn’t come with decapping pin or hex wrench. $20 | redding-reloading.com
