The OP mentioned keeping costs down, so the Forster is irrelevant. I've been using an inexpensive Lyman Brass Smith Ideal press for a while now. It's a cast iron, open face C shape press. I've full length sized a large number of 308 and 30-06 sized cases with no problems whatsoever. It has also served to assemble very straight cartridges. According to the OP he won't be full length resizing machine gun fired 7.62x51 cases to fit a tight 308 Palma chamber, nor will he be swaging belts onto 25-06 cases for loading a 240 Weatherby. No need for something like a Redding Ultramag either.
