Not all Federal are small primer. I posted some crap on this a bit ago. My Federal .45 brass is mixed with small and large primers. Guess that I should sort it. Whata bitch!
Lolol!I got one of those kits too. Its a retiement project. ?
I didn’t see the tits. They were hidden by a high power.
I've seen claims in forums of people getting 600 rounds per hour... and Dillon says 500 or so.
Realistically, I am getting about 350 - 400... if things are going really smoothly. Filling up primer tubes... not forgetting to refill powder... keeping things clean... finding that %$#$#ing Federal and Blazer .45's have small primers (which gums up the works) and in mixed brass finding that my primers won't fit.... and all the other minor hangups keeps it below optimum.
Today, I let powder run out, which was stupid... but I had to go through a bunch of rounds to see which ones I missed.... PITA. But happens until you really get into the swing of things..
Honestly, I think the people claiming 600 rounds per hour are on crack. Or they have an assistant loading primer tubes, etc. And have never a single hangup... not one crimp (unremoved) ... not one high primer... not one missed bullet/case/etc. error in feeding it (I have done all...). I'd like to see 600... but, hey, maybe?
2500 took me from 10 - 4:30. With a break to figure out which rounds had no %$#@ing powder in them. Realistically, I think about 375 an hour. Which is still not bad.

I have my standards...

I can load about 1,000 rounds in an hour on my Dillon 1050. That is a little over 16 rounds per minute and taking my time.I suspect those claims are for cyclic rate. I can load 18-20 rounds per minute on my 650 (1,100 - 1,200 RPH). Add in all the necessary breaks you mentioned and it's about 700 - 800 RPH actual.
I believe you MtnCreek.
Its a space and money issue.
My single stage for precision and low volume pistol rounds and a progressive that even makes 3-400/hr would be very beneficial.
Seems the SDB could keep that pace?
It would be nice to see republicans move that fast on legislation that we want.
If you concider having to drive in to town to get your packages and occasionally bear in your front yard then yea I live in a city. I’m glad to see farmland is enough to satisfy your hunting needs. I personally prefer to be able to hunt were I won’t run into any one or any fence/road/structureYou clearly live in the city.
My time in the Fire Service spanned from long coat and boots to a Chief monitoring your air on a laptop outside. When I get together with the other retirees and someone talks about a fire we did together sometime I'll remember it. Mostly they are just vignettes to me they all run together. But I remember every medical call or wreck that I made a difference on like I'm watching a video.
Love it! Thats a great story.
I have a few that will stick in my brain forever. Thousands that wont.
Wins and losses.
And a few patients who made lasting impressions. Almost all good. Except the chick on ecstasy who was pretty determined to bite my unit until we got 300 mg of ketamine in her.
I read a bunch of that when you were mapping and planning.
Lost it in my craziness and forgot.
How many rounds an hour are you getting in the SDB?
No, it's a High Power, not a High Standard.
For pistol and 223, you'll really like the 650.
my step dad has a 1917 bring back with both mags and the holster he had the paperwork from the war department and a bio of the guy that had it somehow he lost the war department paperwork but still has the bio from them[/QUOTE]
I have one of the Navy Arms LeMat revolver. It's a fantastic cap & ball revolver and fun to shoot.
When I first got it, the loading lever kept bending after loading two or three rounds. I sent it back to Navy Arms and they repaired it.
Keep in mind that I was not stranger to black powder shooting and cap & ball revolvers. The instructions and all the reviewers of the Navy Arms LeMat said to use the .451 round ball.
So after I got the revolver repaired for the 2nd time I decided to mic the chambers. Each one was a .444" chamber. That meant that the .451 round ball was not the usual .003" over sized projectile but .007".
It's no wonder the loading lever was bending. Keep in mind that the loading lever is just a steel sleeve which also holds the ramrod for the shotgun barrel. So it's not as strong as a solid lever like the Remington or Colt revolvers.
So I started shooting the .445" round balls and have not had a problem since then.
I say all this to let everyone know that if they get a LeMat revolver they should mic the chambers and get a round ball that is not too over sized. This also makes me wonder if those gun writers who reviewed the revolver ever shot the darn thing.

A lot of people out there fail to realize how dangerous being a correctional officer is also...You are always in close quarters, outnumbered and surrounded by dirtbags...some of them total animals serving life who got absolutely nothing to live for. A baton, can of pepper spray, and a plastic shield being the only things keeping you from being ripped apart by them.
Stay vigilant. Stay safe. Stay alive.
What is the story on that Herter's press with the humongous cheater bar?
