Once the press is set up and I get into the groove I can run about 300-400 rounds an hour, including a break to reload the primer magazine as needed. A little slower if using cast bullets as I have to clean the seater and crimper dies of bullet lube and lead shmutz every hundred rounds.

Setup can take 5 to 15 minutes, mostly to set powder charge. Some folks get a powder bar to dedicate to a pet load.

I don't lube pistol brass, though I'll clean 'em up with a 2 hour tumbler session before loading.

Depending on the type of bullet your loading your cost per round can run $0.07 to $0.15. If you want to crunch the numbers yourself I wrote a Windows cost calculator you're welcome to use.
