It has been on my mind for a year or so to get another press. Mainly to load 9mm on to ease my pistol loading from my RCBS. The only reload able pistol I shoot is 9 and 45 and the 45 is only a couple hundred rounds a year, if that. Any rifle reloads I still plan on doing on my RCBS Rockchucker.
I have read many topics on people comparing the two presses. Some like one, some like the other and many say that the 550 is more versatile. And I would agree with the versatility of the 550. But, I am only interested in loading 9mm with it and will not change it to another caliber.
I believe that either one would serve just fine. I do like the auto advance of the SD.
Is there a quality difference between the two, one made better than the other? They both have the same lifetime warranty.
Is one easier to manipulate than the other? They both seem to benefit from the "strong" stand. Will both accept the roller handle?
For those of you that have both or have had both, can you give me a comparison between the two as far as use and manipulation. Keep in mind I am only planning on loading one caliber on it.
I have also looked at the LNL, but seem to keep coming back to the blue press.
PS.......before anyone adds the comment, I AM NOT interested in a LEE press. Had one years ago, did not like it, sold it and went back to loading on my RCBS.
