Something else about the XL-650, it won't accept nearly as many different calibers as the RL-550B. That may not mean much if you only do a few calibers, but when you're dealing with over 20 different ones, like myself, it comes in darn handy.

But for blazing speed in reloading the standard longer rifle calibers like .308 and .30-06, The XL-650 with brass hopper is sweet! I don't have my 650 anymore, but for the belt-fed guys, that would be a must-have!
