I wish I could come across a few 5 gallon buckets of brass!
I set a timer for one hour to see just what I could realistically get done in that time frame. Thrower was already loaded with powder and at the correct weight.
I was able to deprime 100 cases, prime 100 cases, charge 100 cases, and load 34 rounds. The remaining 66 rounds took me just under another 14 minutes to load. 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.

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.
What is my joy if all hands, even the unclean, can reach into it? What is my wisdom, if even the fools can dictate to me? What is my freedom, if all creatures, even the botched and impotent, are my masters? What is my life, if I am but to bow, to agree and to obey?

Now you just need a case prep center to chamfer and your done.

chrono'd my 6.5x47L today: 2750 out of a 22" tube. Berger 140 hybrid and Varget.

Showed my 11 year old nephew how to run the 650.
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!
There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!
