What you need to do is know ahead of time how long the chamber is on each rifle. Either buy or make a modified case for each claiber, check the actual length of the chambers so you'll know how long to set the bullets to the lands. And different designs will seat deeper in the chamber.
By seating a bullet long, then closing the bolt on the case, you'll get different readings by using different bullets. You need to know where to start. .005 in or out of the case can change accuracy a bunch. You got to know where to start.
Resize with one die. Switch to a seater die and seat the bullets. Same press but different dies. Get a good press, good dies, load a bunch of ammo and go shoot something. Whichever press or dies you get, get good stuff so it will last.
If you're like the rest of us, you'll be adding more "stuff" before long. You can't have enough toys.
So with satating the above, should I go with a press that has interchangable turrents, one turrent for each gun-caliber, or still a single stage press and just change them? Once set, is it a pain to switch the dies and must you reset with each use?
