    Changing primer sizes on the 650 is a PITA. Much easier on a 550. I only mention this because you say you'll be loading 9mm (small primers) and 308 (large).

    If you do large batches and only have to swap primer setups every once in awhile this might not be much of an issue. I got SO tired of struggling with the change I ended up buying a second 650. Changing primer setups was THAT painful.

    If you're going to swap back and forth a lot, I'd give the 550 a hard look-at. To this day I occassionaly regret my change from the 550 to the 650.

    YOU are the first responder. Police, fire and medical are SECOND responders.
    When seconds count, the police are mere minutes away...

    What??? It's a minor task, if that, to do a primer change on the 650. Of course using that to justify another press is a valid argument .
