[QUOTE="penman53, post: 902859, member: 870"] I had a 650 with all the bells and whistles. I was always screwing with it to get primers to feed properly. It eventually in my opinion ended with me having a double charge and my blowing up a Smith and Wesson M and P 40C. Scared the hell out of me. I sold all of my reloading equipment and decided to buy factory. Well, now you can't buy factory half the time and when you can, price gougers are jacking up the price so much you can't afford it. So when I got into bullseye shooting, I had to get back into reloading. I bought a 550b because of its simplicity. I have to think more about every round and I hope that it will make reloading safer. One think about the 650 with a case feeder is you only have contact with the ammunition when setting a bullet on station 3. Pulling the handle over and over again is almost hypnotic. Hence all of the buzzers for primers and low powder. I think in my opinion that you did the right thing regardless of the price difference. Good luck and be safe. Oh by the way make sure you watch out for those pesky Democrats, they are the cause of all of our troubles you know. Wink [/QUOTE]
