I would also recomand 550. If your only going to load around 5,000 round per year my guess would be that you will have that many rounds loaded in the first month you own the press. There have been many days, mostly saterdays, that I have loaded over 1,000 rounds of handgun ammo. You will have far more than their advertised price invested in the press as you will be adding tool heads for each round you load and cartridge conversion kits every time you get a new round with a different head size. DO NOT buy a cartridge conversion kit for the .243 and the .270. The only difference in them will be the powder funnel. Buy a cartridge for the .243 and a powder funnel for the .270. Then if you add a .30-06 or a .22-250 you just buy new powder funnel for those rounds. I even eliminate cartridge conversion kits all together by useing shell holder for my .476 shell heads for the .22-250 and the powder funnel from my .223 kit for the funnel and didn`t have to buy anything extra to load this round. I`ve saved several $ 100`s doing this.
, BUT, that means I`ve invested well over a $ 1,000 to save that much.
If I keep saveing money like this I think I`ll go broke.
