I wasn't going "fast" as I know better; just trying to get an idea on what is realistic to expect in that time frame. I definitely messed around with the scale and the powder charge when I felt one of them was being inconsistent. I got side tracked by that long enough that I think without that whole mess I could have loaded the entire 100 rounds within the hour. This is running my RCBS turret press, Lee balance beam scale, and Herters powder throw.
Not progressive speed by any means, but definitely a speed I can live with.
yup... that's pretty slow.Quote:

Finally got so fed up with Giraud not wanting to take my money (trying to get them to call me back for 3 months straight so I could buy a trimmer) - that I went to Dillon's website and bought a new RT1500, adapters, and shell plates for the 1050.
Now you just need a case prep center to chamfer and your done.Quote:

Not in the reloading room, but the last two weekends I've fired off a shitload of my reloads, in many flavors. All worked well, good times!
I have to admit though, losing all that weight had a nasty side effect - I don't have any fat or muscle padding on my shoulder anymore to absorb rifle recoil. Anything above .223 and .30 carbine friggin hurts!
