When choosing the best single stage reloading press to meet your needs you need to consider ergonomics, mounting options and capability.

Most standard dies have a thread size of 7/8-14.  Lee dies for the 577 Snider and 577-450 Martini are 1 1/4-12 thus require a press with a larger thread.  Most presses support both thread sizes by using a removable threaded insert.  Some smaller presses do not have this feature.

The RCBS Summit Press is designed so it can be mounted anywhere on a bench whereas most presses require mounting on the edge of a bench.
