Just note loading for straight wall cartridge loads it take several good hard whacks to full length resize them. Some Lee case lube will help make it a bit easier on you. If you go with the hand press I would also advise some Lee case lube as well. It will wipe off of finished rounds with a clean cloth. It reduces effort to size dramaticly, even if you have carbide dies, and with .45 Colt it helps to prevent bending, or tearing the thin rims of them as well.
