I am wanting to upgrade to a more reliable progressive press and really like the idea of a Dillon for the warranty and reliability.

I was set on a 650 but don't really go through enough rounds to justify it. I usually only load 500 to a thousand rounds in a session and not as often as I would like. Because of this I started looking into the 550.

In my research I found a couple of guys loading precision 6.5CM on a 550 and spoke highly of it. 6.5guys.com

The 550 is also over $150 cheaper than the 650

550 case feeder only works for handgun cases where the 650 gives me the option to feed 223 or 308

650 gives me an extra hole in the tool head for a little more versatility

I want to have the option to trim large quantities of 223 on the press using the Dillon case trimmer. I would use a Mighty Armory Decapping die in station 1 then FL size die then the trimmer. Does the 550 tool head have room for that?

I'm having a hard time making a decision. Is there anything I'm missing that could help me decide?
