Productive day

[CrustyFN]

I love my Dillon 550. I loaded 200 rounds of 9mm and 1,229 rounds of 223. I load the 9mm on my Lee classic turret and the 223 on my 550. I actually love both presses but the 550 sure makes quick work of 1,200 rounds.

Yeah that's crankin' 'em out. Well done.

If you load that volume often you can get presses setup to where that would be an hours worth of loading.

But where would be the enjoyment of reloading in that?

Granted, I love my Dillon XL650 with case feeder but I still take it a little slower and routinely check powder charges and when the finished case bin is full I stop and do a full inspection of every round. For me it's not about getting 1000 rounds done in the fastest time possible but getting 1000 rounds done in a more efficient manner and still maintain near single stage quality and round to round consistency.

Yes but then the fun would only last for an hour. That wouldn't be any good. I loaded another 300 rounds of 9mm today.

If you meet the goal of having fun, I guess you could load any amount and be productive.
