The key to speed is to have the right stuff layed out in the proper order.

For instance, first thing I'll do is to load several primer tubes and have them ready to go. I'll have the powder can handy to fill up the powder tube when it gets to a certain point.

I'll have a box of bullets,usually a box of 500 set where I can reach them easily on the left of the press as you are looking at it.I'll have the cases in a bin on the right. Once you get into a rythm it is no problem for me to do 500 rounds an hour with some time to spare. I use the primer tubes to keep count of the rounds and when the finished bullet bin gets full, I just pour them in a cardboard box.

When I am done, I'll transfer the bullets to the correct plastic cases made by Midway,Dillion,MTM...I have them all.

After an hour or so of really getting it, I usaully give my back a break and stretch out a bit.

If I am doing .45 I 'll dump them in my Dillon bullet bag and not even mess with the plastic boxes.
