[QUOTE="FlashoverTacticalFirearms, post: 519519, member: 3112"] According to phone conversations I have had with Dillon, they recommend the 550 over the 650 if you are going to be loading multiple calibers because it is a lot easier on the 550 & takes less time. The biggest difference between the two is the 550 in a progressive manual indexing press while the 650 is an auto indexing press. I have a 1050 set up in 223 w/carbide dies and I am fixing to get a 650 in the very near future. From the people that I have consulted (mainly olyeller), they have all said that they love their 650s and it is not that bad to swap calibers out. Mike noted that he loads [B]thousands[/B] of rounds at a time and then switches calibers and loads [B]thousands[/B] more. Regardless of the 550 or the 650, I feel that no matter which machine you use, you need to pony up and buy the case feeder that goes along with it! Just my $0.02 [/QUOTE]
