Sizemaster has the collet style sizing, 600 Jr has a ring sizer. If you have a double barrel, sooner or later you will appreciate how much tighter the collet can size the "brass" on the head of shells. Sizemaster has primer feeder built in, 600 Jr you stick on one primer at a time unless you add the extra primer feeder.
