I was thinking about a second press so I don't have to change system from small primer to large on my 650 for the few 45's I load.

Saw a review of a Square Deal B, and the guy said 250 rounds in two hours. Easier and quicker to change primer size on the 650. Or was the reviewer being slow.

As for the Lee, reviewers seemed to think it needed constant tinkering to keep it running well. But it was quite fast and had some good features. Any thoughts ?

What should I do; stay with the 650 and put up with changing the primer feed, get a SDB, or go for the Lee.

one point to note- square deals used to use propitory dies- i don't know whether they still do - if they do, you gotta buy your dies from dillon, if that makes a diff- as far as the lees go, i've been running 1 from about 1990 and aside from the primer feed problems. there are NONE- that's a lee 1000
 
I had both a Lee 1000 & a SD B . I Had one set up for .45 & the other for 9mm.

I got so fed up with the Lee not feeding primers properly and generally requiring a lot of stopping & starting that I sold it. ( maybe I just got a bad one ). For the past several years I now use only the Dillon SD B & really like it.

As noted though, they are not standard dies but other than that, they get my vote.
