If I could turn off the auto index on one I would drop the $ right now.
You can do this in about 1 minute by taking off the index cam, bolted to the side of the press with 2 allen screws.
The hassle is that when you put it back on, it probably takes 3-5 min because you have to adjust its position so it indexes to just the right spot.
Ultimately, this is what drove me to buy a 550 in addition to my 650. The 650 is for churning out ammo. The 550 can make ammo at a good clip, but is also good for load development.
Also, caliber change overs are much faster and cheaper on a 550. Especially if htey use the same sized primer.
Some people will say they can change over a 650 in 10 minutes. But if you are the kind of person who will end up leaving one caliber set up for a while, there is always a re-learning curve when changing over.
