While the OP mentioned a preference for a single press, I would recommend specialized presses because I hate tearing down setups. You can also buy these used and save a lot of money. I use a MEC Jr. for 28-gauge shotshells that cost me $100 and a RCBS single-stage press for rifle rounds. That being said, I load rifle for only wildcat rounds, mostly .22 K-Hornet, .218 Mashburn Bee, and .17 Ackley Bee for my Contender barrels. I may only load twenty rifle rounds in a month.
