I'm not arguing with you 'red. I have said this very thing over and over and over and over and................you get the drift. The RL450/RL550 is more like a turret than a progressive.

So, I agree with you. Their 500 press (not sure of the number) is a stripped down version that can be built up to a RL550B.
