It’s an opinion, but the 650 is a better press. Just a little more work to change primer from S to L and vise versus, but it’s a better primming system. I have a 650 and 550 for reference. 650...

I have had 2 of them for about 10 years. They’re just okay. Run times are short and ultra sonic action is pretty weak. So you gotta stand around setting the run time again and again. Good for...

You mean a balance beam scale?

Yup. I love watching people’s brains seize when they see that video. [emoji23]

Lil Gun will probably work. You might go over pressure before you get the desired velocity. I use H110 (very similar to Lil Gun) for my supersonic 110/125 hunting/SD loads.
