The Rock Chucker is a good choice, there's just some things that I like about the Summit more. Most people won't see the difference in price worth it and you likely wouldn't either, I've just spent enough time with "0" style presses to appreciate the Summit. If you decide reloading isn't for you it would also be easier to sell the Rock Chucker because of it's popularity.

I use a Rockchucker and have had one for four decades.  I also use a CoAx a lot.  I like both.  I think the new Rockchucker handles spent primers a bit better than the old ones.  The CoAx really does a great job on that front.

"fleet's farm" out of the midwest is clearing out their reloading gear, many items half off.  Several presses are included.

Might save you some coin.  For instance:

While the Rockchucker is the standard by which all presses are compared, the Hornady Iron press is impressive.

Saw it at the NRA convention, the thing weighs about as much as an old chevy small block.  If I could find a deal on one, I might consider it.
However, I am not all a twitter over the Lock and Load concept. 
That being said, if you fire form your brass, you can use a Lee collet neck sizing die and about any press will work.  If you use a standard full length sizing die, you will need a sturdy press for your cartridge.  Even though it is not a belted magnum, there's plenty of brass to move.
Spent most of my $$ on huntin, fishin & retrievin dogs, the rest I just pretty much wasted.
