I have a 223 650 but I only use it for case prep (sizing and trimming) dealing with crimped primer pockets gets old pretty quick.

The 1050 with the built in swage station makes short work of them though.

It wouldn't matter to me whether I had a 650 or 550 since I don't process that much volume on my 650. But with the 650, your have the extra station that can be used for the powder check system or a bullet feeder. Can't do that with the 550. Other than the auto indexing and extra spot on the tool head, not that much different. But both of those options are big selling points to me. I really like the powder check system. I like it so much, I'm not willing to give it up for a bullet feeder. One less thing for me to worry about when I load on my 650. I use mine for loading .223/5.56, 6.8, .45, .40 and .308. My single stages loads some .308, 30.06 and 270AR.
