How long did it take to size, prime, load powder and seat the 450 rounds?
Sounds painful, I'd buy a Dillon.....

Takes me about 40 minutes to load 450rds if I go slow.

A 650 or a 1050.
I have a Dillon Primer tube filling machine.

Now, now . . . no fair gloating or lording your Dillon-ness (Dillon-ality??) over those who haven't yet drunk the Blue Kool Aid!

Oh, BTW . . . .DILLON RULES!

Just as a challenge, I did load 500 rounds on a 550 in just under an hour.
This was about 10 years ago, so no casefeed either.
This requires pre-filled primer tubes and good components organization though.
Anything over 400 an hour on a 550 and you are not watching what you are doing very well.

From this to this in around 3-4 hours.
