For the OP, While I didn't read all the other posts, I've been reloading since the early 90's, have both progressive (Dillon SDB) and single stage (RCBS JR3) presses. Since you aren't shooting any semi-autos, you don't need a progressive and a single stage is OK, but I think you will be happier and enjoy reloading more using a turrent press where you don't have swap and adjust dies. Look at the Lyman Brass Smith All-American 8-Station Turret Press. (Midway has it on sale cheap.) It has the plenty of strength for rifle reloading and can use any dies. I've read the inexpensive Lee presses have to much play in them for rifle reloading. I just finished reloading 2 dozen 45 Colt rounds (for the first time) on my single stage, and I'm thinking this press might be a nice addition to my press collection.
I am green with envy. I had a decent work space in my previous house with my previous wife, but in my dinky townhouse with my current wife, my reloading bench is a 4th of the space I once had.My office, houses all of my equipment for reloading and gun cleaning. Spending 31 years in a chemical laboratory and having OCD keeps my area safe and clean. I try to make things low maintenance, notice powder chargers for each different powder. You only have to change the weight charged.
