the best press!!!

I have a second hand RCBS jr 3 press and I really like it but what I am asking it to do is rough on me and it as well ... I am making 3 diffrent cases ,,, a few 7mm BR,, and 280 British,, and 6.5x55 Swede cases... there is a bodacious amount of lever pressure and my arm hurts like crazy from all of the up and down stuff... so is there a press out there with good mechanical leverage on the arm thats affordable? I would like to stay with RCBS but hey I will go where the consensus takes me HELP!!!!

I’ve got a rockchuker 2 and it has quite a bit more leverage than my JR however I have a Redding ultramag on order for this kind of thing. My rock chucker may get put on decapping duty.
 
Forster Co-ax B5 model. Hang the lights on it and get the upgrades on the arms and base plate. Set your dies once and that's it.
 
You can make resizing easier by; lubeing inside of neck,when i resize 204 brass w/out lube,i start to lift the corner of a 350 lb bench the press is mounted on,when lubed,they are super easy. I use one shot on a Q tip,World of Difference
 
Soooo many good presses. Redding and RCBS are two I use and couldn't imagine needing better ones. I have a smaller Lee but only use it for decapping when I don't need to size.
