If you buy Lee dies, they usually have the shellholder included.
Don't forget used gear, generally available from time to time at various gun shops. Nothing beats a press with a stout mounting base (the basic Lee presses tend to be wimpy in this area), such as an RCBS RockChucker or similar.
For straight-walled (ie non-bottlenecked) cases, the wimpy mounts will work, but for heavy sizing work (most rifle calibers) I just don't like the tiny woodscrew type mounting system.
