How many rounds can you load at a time?

Without getting sloppy or losing your mind... How much ammo can you stand to crank out in a session.

I did about 900 rounds of .223 Sunday. The first 500 were no sweat, but I was getting insane and distracted in the last 400. I load from primed brass so there's no breaks for primer tube refills... It's just foot on the gas.

We talking single stage or progressive?

Well I was talking progressive, but I do use a single too. I can work on reloading stuff for many hours. But straight blasting away on the progressive?? 500 at a crack is all my mind can take.

[Stangman]

I've never really counted exact numbers, but I've loaded 300+ (from case cleaning to loaded) on a single stage before, and could have kept on going but my back was hurting from sitting so dang long. Other times, if I'm being distracted by a, we'll say a pending (and very vocal) honey do list, it's not nearly as much .

I don't load as much on the progressive, but I consider this thread a challenge though. So we'll see...

Usually I load 30 at a time with Pmags.

Single stage is all I have and I load the same way (from primed brass).
After about 600-700 I'm ready to scratch my eyes out. I have loaded 1200 9mm in a sitting before, but it burnt me out so much I didn't touch the press again for a month.

I usually will reload for around an hour with my Dillon 550. After that it just starts to feel like work.

No doubt. I've been at that point where I don't want to even THINK about loading.

That's it right there. 500 rounds is about an hour. After that I'm done.

I usually due about 1000 round at a time on a single stage press with individually measured powder charges no problem. Takes me all day but that is the fun of it. I usually split the case prep and power and bullet seating on different days though.

Assuming prepped brass (sized/deprimed/trimmed), I load 1 round every 10-15 seconds. I average around 150-200 loaded precision rifle rounds, via a Prometheus Gen 2 and a Co-ax, per hour. I generally only do 50 at a time before I get too bored.
