How many rounds can you load at a time?

[RearwardAssist]

I have done 1500 9mm in one session the most 223 i have done is around 7-800 and those were both brutal. I pretty much do 400 at a time now.

I'll do a couple hundred a night usually. If it's crappy out or have nothing to do I can load a few thousand. Wife keeps the primer tubes and casefeeder full.

I stick to a 50-round reloading tray per session on my T-7, but that's a turret, and I haven't got my 3BR set up yet, so apples to oranges.

How the hell do you guys load 500 rds in an hour? I can see that with pre-primed brass...maybe...but I'm nowhere near that with all the weighing, filling, counting, filling, and more filling lol.

Talking .223 here right? I can probably get closer to 500/hr with 9mm...

All I'm doing is cycling and indexing the machine. All I have to do is grab brass and bullets. I just watch each round to make sure the Powder Charge looks ok, and keep rolling.

How fast do you crank the handle? I tend to go very slow and controlled...

I do get some pretty damn accurate ammo though

Not abnormally fast. My goal is NEVER volume per hour.

Gotcha...so I guess this question is really "how long can you sit at your press and crank out rounds before you go crazy?"

I'm probably good for 2-3 hours, but at that point it's more of a physical thing than mental since I use a simple wooden stool with no padding lol

I can get into a pretty good rythem most of the time. Radio on, just checking powder charge by eye as markm said. I prep the .223 beforehand, already sized, deprimed and swagged before loading.

I try to not load more than 600 in a day on my Dillon 550.
