If you stay within the same primer size the 550 is cake to change calibers if you have multiple tool heads. Literally take <2 min. If you need to change primer sizes it may take another 3-4 min. For pistol, nothing beats a 550b IMO. For rifle with a lot of case prep or extruded powder with precise measurements, I'd look at a turret press.
