Kerry, bet you end up liking the Wilson dies if you give them a try . As for an inexpensive arbor press, think small mechanic's press. Like Harbor Freight. Or, an old bottle cap press at the 2nd hand store. There are two Sinclair units on ebay right now though, not cheap. I have one of Russ Haydon's presses and really like it.

You can seat the bullets with your hands using the Wilson seater, as the reply above noted. For the neck dies, use a small brass mallet or hammer. Works a treat!
An arbor press shouldn't require a second mortgage... |

I think amazon has a bald eagle arbor press for like 60 bucks right now. I use my Wilson dies by hand. And I use a estwing double sided soft mallet.
