If you get your powder charger set up with the correct charge, and you have your primers ready, and your brass and bullets handy, it takes about 12 to 15 seconds per round to actually load. Your set up time to set your dyes, and your powder charger, and fill your priming tool, and case preperation, will take about an hour originally. Once your dyes are set, they will not take 15 seconds to put in your press. Case preperation, and priming can be done while you watch TV, in your spare time.

I can generally load about 250 rounds in an hour, for a .44 magnum. If I am making rounds that I want to hunt with, then I weight every charge, and this takes a little longer. Cuts me down to about 100 rounds per hour.

Does this help?
