Re: Revisiting Various Loading Presses
I came to the same solution as Griff. Two Dillion 550's, one set for small primers and one set for large primers. Swap out the shell plates and change tool head. About five minutes to get every thing changed and then load. I don't think I will ever wear one out and you can make a pile of ammo pretty...

Re: 22 LR vs. 25 ACP in a Beretta Tip-up (model 21)...?
Have you checked out one of the Keltec's in 32? I had one of the Tomcats in 32 and switched to the Keltec. Much thinner and flater so easier to conceal, rated for P+ ammo, no safety/hammer to futz with.
Keltec is relatively inexpensive also.
Mine has been a good little gun.
