Loading for .50BMG & "Cheap" are not synonymous terms.

But I think the Lee .50 BMG press is as cheap as it gets.

LEE's Classic Cast .50 setup is probably the least expensive press and dies for the first time .50 loader. I'm not saying it's the best press available but it will load perfectly acceptable ammunition at about half the price of the competitors. It is also arguably built as well as other O-Frame presses.

I agree. I don't think you will find anything cheaper than the Lee. You may be able to find one on the notorious ebay for less than what they sell for from a retailer.

For an inexpensive press the Lee can't be beat but the drawback is that it uses smaller then industry standard dies. So if you want a match die or neck sizing die (which Lee currently doesn't make in .50 BMG) it has to be a custom order from them.
