It depends, but usually I load up 100-200 at a time on the progressive and maybe 50 at a time on the single stage.

I'd much rather do this every night or every other night than sit down and try to load up some massive quantity in one sitting - even though I love reloading, it can be very monotonous and I don't want to get bored, complacent or otherwise in a place where I'm not paying maximum attention. That's when bad things happen.

My last run was a bunch of 5.56 and it lasted over 2 weeks. 100 rounds here, 200 rounds there every other day or so and I put together a few thousand rounds in 30 minute to 45 minute sessions. A side bonus is that because the sessions were fairly short, I didn't get yelled at by the wife for neglecting family time.

With single stage, I typically do one type of prep at a time. First night will be cleaning and prepping primer pockets. 2nd night will be neck turning, next night will be sizing, then priming and loading.

Maybe I'm slightly ADD and just don't know it.
