Thank you guys for all the input!
The main reason for this press is to replace a very worn/sloppy hand me down press from when I started reloading about 25 years ago.
I love my 550’s but you can’t use lee style sizers for sizing bullets in them, you can’t cut gas checks and I get a lot of runout in my rifle ammo which does not aid in helping accuracy.
The main reason I like the look of the turret is the wide open area to work in which is why I started looking at the mec marksman too.
The O framed are very ridging design which I like but the cast turrets look very stout just never seen one first hand and nobody I know has one locally.
I owned a lee classic cast turret for years and it was a great press made lots and lots of pistol, 30-30, 223, and so forth.
My 550’s have replaced that set up and they are wonderful at what they do for my reloading!
