how many bullets do you reload a day?

[cc56]

I just got done reloading 300 45 acp bullets on my dillon 550B. Yesterday I reloaded 200+ rounds. So how many rounds do you guys reload in a day. Oh and I worked with a partner to reload and we did 109 rounds in 6 min 30 sec. What are your guys best times?

I load in big batches and then the loader just sits there till I need more. I've loaded a 2-3 thousand in a day and could have loaded more if I needed to. The Dillon 1050 is pretty quick.

I just did 800 45 ACP on my 550B in a few hours. Can do 300 223 rounds in a day as I hand charg the powder. I usaly don't have enough suplys to do more than 200 308 rounds.

Whats the dillon 550B and the 1050 cost?

[Fjold]

Depends on what I'm doing it for.

When I'm developing rifle loads I may reload 15-30 rounds using different combinations of components. I've reloaded as few as 6 rounds at one sitting trying to fine tune a load.

Generally at the most I'll load 200-300, 223 or pistol rounds at a time.

I've done 1000+ .45acps in about 6 hours on my 550. But, includes casting and sizing the .45s. Just loading takes about 1/2 the time. I can do about 50 rounds of 50BMG/day, including brass prep.

Keep in mind if you are just getting started, the press is not the whole enchilada.

I reload bullets after reclaiming, recasting and sizing them. I reload them into cartidges that I'm reloading.

with a dillon 550 i dont like doing more that 500 in a day i get sore

I typically make 100 in 45 minutes on my 550. I'll spend the time doing 100 or so a day during the week when I have the time.

I typicaley do 5oo or 1000 round lots for my semi auto weapons. 50 for my hunting rifles. I shoot the same ammo in practice that I hunt with.

I will say when I was loading, my arm was killing me. Any of you guys keep the standard "ball" lever arm, or have you switched to the cool "L" lever? Also good call on loading casings!

I'll do about 30-50 rifle rounds in an evening's sitting. Fine-tuning the powder load takes up most of the time.
