FWIW, I used an ultramag for a few years and sold it. I bought Reddings T-7 turret Press. It is great. With 7 stations I can set up and load for anywhere up to 3 different calibers, without having to screw dies in and out. The press is built like a tank, and has no wobble or play. It is not a lightweight press like the Lyman turrent. It is solid steel and weighs a ton.
The ultra mag is massively strong, but unless you are reloading for the biggest magnums or swagging jacketed bullets you really don't need or use such massive strength. The biggest thing I reload for is a 338-06. The T-7 handles that well. It won't swage jacketed bullets and it won't reload 50 BMG, but than neither do I.
