Reloading press for .505 gibbs and .50 BMG

I currently have a redding t7 turret press and I assume my new .505 gibbs will not fit. So if I'm going to have to buy a bigger one I might as well get one that can accommodate a .50 omg if I buy one later. What is a good press for both?

+2 on the Lee. It works and doesn't cost much.

I had an Ammomaster, the stroke was far too long for me. Switched to a Rockchucker supreme. This press handles.the 505 fine, doubt a BMG will for though.

Cheers.

If you are using once fired M2 brass I found that my ammo master nor my Lee had enough balls to get it done. I run them through my Corbin when I get them. Then after that either press will work for subsequent loadings in both my M107A1's and one AR50.

If you like turrets like I do...Lee Classic Turret Press.

My RCBS A2 is still going strong after almost 60 years of use. It handles .505 cases with ease and I suspect it would do the same with BMG cases as well, although I've never had occasion to try it.

In 1960, when I bought it from Gander Mountain, the claim was that it would resize .30-'06 brass to .250 Savage in one pass. I have no reason to doubt that it will.
