+1 on Uncle Nick's perspective...

I use separate dies in my 650 ( and it has a spot in the toolhead for the powder check die ).....but if I were using a 550 press, I'd be tempted, as suggested to install a powder check die in station 3 and seat and crimp in station 4 as long as I were using jacketed bullets.
