I just want to second John's recommendation of the Lee Load All II. I bought one used for low count 16 gauge reloading. I only use about two boxes of hard 1 oz. 5 shot a year. Hardly worth the bother of loading except that locally no 16 gauge ammo is consistently on the shelf and when it is the ammo is usually heap promo loads using soft shot.
The reason I got the press cheap is that a friend of mine bought it and used it for a short time, but wasn't satisfied with the crimps he was getting with the available hulls. He bought a MEC and found he had the same crimp problems because of lousy hulls. There are no really good 16 gauge hulls available. That is not a problem in 12 gauge. Hit the skeet ranges and buy a bag or two of good hulls and you will be set.
