Handgun rounds on my Lee Classic Turret.

There is essentially no case prep. Visual inspection at the time of use is all they get.

I load about 200 per hour, not counting the time it takes to get set up. Counting setup time, the first hour is probably 150.

If I'm not setup, the first 50 takes 30 minutes, at most. The next 50 takes 15 minutes or less.

A big box of cases and bullets last longer than I'll ever load in one session so there is no refilling. The powder hopper too, if its full it lasts longer than I'll ever load in one (or frankly, 5) sessions. The only slow down is the 30 seconds or so every 100 primers, to refill the tray.
