Reccomendation on press for .50 bmg and smaller

Lee Classic cast iron single stage is the cheapest option, especially if you order as the ".50 BMG press" so that it comes with the dies.

The Lee .50 cal dies are different thread size (1-1/2 x 12) than RCBS and other brands, so you can't then get some aftermarket seater if you wanted to, and you can only use the Lee lock ring for the Lee dies. Kit has a 7/8-14 thread bushing to use normal dies for other cal's.

RCBS may be the next, more expensive, option and would allow other brands of dies.
