Here is a different option. If you know you want to load only 308 win & 45 they both have the same casehead size and use same shellholder. If you get a single stage or a turret press it is all it will ever be ( not that there is anything wrong with either) I still have my old single stage press but use it for task like bullet pulling. I reload on my Dillon 550 I don't use the powder measure for my 308 and I leave the dies in the tool head for easy change. Since I have a 550 set up for 45 I use the auto prime system. and the case holder works on both 45 and 308. Yes the DL 550 costs $439.00 and a Classic cast Turret lists for $152.00 and that is a big difference.

There is another choice the BL 550, it is the same as a DL-550 less the powder measure and primer feed. The price of the BL-550 is 259.00 If you ever want to turn it into a fully progressive press you can get the powder measure and primer feed and your off and running. Another advantage is if you have limited bench space you will only have one press mounted.

Either way reloading can be both fun and rewarding.
Don't expect to save any money, you will just get to shoot more.
