tightloop Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 When I read your topic I thought I would see a 1050, 50k rounds of brass, 50k bullets and 80 lbs of powder. Looks pretty normal to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ErikW Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 You don't use that air freshener as a case lube, do you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 I wish I can start loading again. I just don't have time and it's killing my shooting . Oh I forgot, I don't have time to shoot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Sweeney Posted April 27, 2004 Share Posted April 27, 2004 "volume reloading?" Ha. When my frineds and I were "The Gang of Four" (Uncle Vinnie will recognize the reference) we'd get together and load on a group 1050. We'd meet, have Italian food, then settle down for an evening of high-volume loading. We once did 1552 rounds in one hour by the clock, of .45 ACP. We figured out how to prep and load .223 and .308, loaded .45, .38 Super, 9mm. That was when we'd be getting tumbler media in 5o pound bags and .45 brass in 55 gallon drums. Ah, the good old days.

kevin c Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 I'm finally coming to realize that if I want good ammo, I can't expect to crank it out in a hurry. I can load 750 rounds per hour on my SDB, if I have everything set up, and occasionally I'll do that w/ practice ammo. But my production rate on match ammo is about half that, because, at least with my load and technique, twice the time gets me half the ES and SD. Mebbe having a 650 would let me speed up but stay smooth and consistent (funny how that applies to loading ammo as well as shooting). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg G Posted April 29, 2004 Share Posted April 29, 2004 Holy cow... 750 an hour on an SBD... you must be working at warp speed... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingman Posted May 6, 2004 Share Posted May 6, 2004 I will have to time myself this weekend to get an accurate count. I do know on my SDB that I just leave set up for supers I can outload my 550B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
