Well, I did it, I set my Dillion 550 for 30-06. I had to, I have two hungry mouths to feed. One 42 SA Garand and one 44 SA Garand. It's not going as fast as I had dreamed it would. I'm using Hornady One Shot, so I don't have to clean the lube off (at least I'm telling myself that now). I'm swabing the inside of each case neck with a Q tip soaked in Midway Minute lube. You have to do the neck swabbing or you'll hang up in the middle of the downstroke. I'm also ceaning the primer pocket, that takes a lot of time out of the cycle. I'm getting about 120-150 an hour when I really work at it. The neck swabbing and primer pockets are the bottlenecks.

It's still faster than when I would load 200 at a time on my single stage rockchucker with the Lee Autoprime.
