Spent a little time on the 450 this morning

Still a few more to go but I’m almost done for now. Fixing to load up some 150gr federal trophy copper 308’s next.

Nothing special. About 100 rounds 9mm to get rid of the tiny bit of Tightgroup and AA#2. Now trying to get rid of the partial W231.
Also loaded up 10 rounds 45special with APP - BP sub.

Another 150 rounds 9mm. Really need to get a different press than the old Lee turret I have been running.

All I do anymore is just small-batch stuff. Just enough for a range trip. Most times I just grab my Lee Loader kit, or maybe my Lee hand press . . .

I can do about a round a minute or slightly better and thats with having to rotate it myself as I'm waiting on parts to fix it. I just think it would just be nice to run 500 rounds or so in a hour or so. Wonder how good the new Lee 6 Pack Pro kit is?

I could almost do 100 per hour hand weighing each charge from the powder drop. I love my turret press. The Dillon 750 was expensive as all hell with the conversion kits. The 750 is the devil! I had to justify the purchase by loading bulk. Everything I’ve loaded for the most part is high end jhp ammo. Xtp streak, vcrown, hst, Barnes tac x, civil defense, etc. rifle has been the same with ballistic tips and solid copper. The plan was to load a few k for each caliber. After I’m done I’ll sit back and piddle with casting for cheap range ammo. I kinda want to do shotgun shells next. The sound of a shot dripper is music to my ears. But which press a load all or a mec

I can do more per hour on the turret when its working right. I just get tired of having to manual add primers and bullets. Of course right now no more than I load or have been loading hard to justify another set up. I started piddling with shotshells last year and I play around loading 20, 12 and 10 gauge. I use a Lee Loadall in 20 and 12 and handload the 10 with punch and a dowel. I have also just started loading brass 12 ga with APP BP sub because subs and BP are bad to burn holes in the plastic hulls. For no more than I load the Load alls do everything I need and work good in my opinion especially for a sub hundred dollar setup. I need to cast some more bullets myself. Would really love to see a shot dripper working one day.

Ok had to try again. Without auto indexing and a 3 die set in the 4 hole plate. I was able to do 50 rounds in 12 minutes. So I would say 50 rounds in 15 minutes would be a good average. That brings me up to 325 , 9mm rounds loaded, with only 645+ to go, LOL.
