[QUOTE="rewiltshire, post: 1829567, member: 53629"] I have two 550's. Just upgraded the frames to 550c (if you buy new you get the "C' model) to help on keeping it lubed, they started out as 550's years ago and were up graded over time. I also like the manual indexing and it my be slower than an auto-indexing 650/750 but I'm retired and have more time than money. 200 RPH is fine for me, but have done 300 RPH with out a probem if need be. I have one set up for large primer, one for small so I never need to change that. Changing the shell plate is not a big deal and just takes a few minutes. Love my 550's, but when my nephew asked for a recommendation I did steer him to the 650 with a case feeder because he does high volume pistol loading. He is a competitive shooter, me I'm a "fun" shooter and my I don't go through as many round as he does. Check around for a good used one with extra "goodies". Have a friend here that has a 550 for sale with a bunch of extra toolheads with dies and caliber conversions. I just sold two 550b's for a club members widow for $300 each, one set up for 45 ACP the other in 223 Remington (Dillon dies). Dillon stands behind their products forever and their service department is top notch. Their dies are in the same boat. [/QUOTE]
