Yep. It would take me days to get it looking as disorganized as mine.
Javier says that the propane should have been strapped to something.
For pistol and 223, you'll really like the 650.
I believe you MtnCreek.
Its a space and money issue.
My single stage for precision and low volume pistol rounds and a progressive that even makes 3-400/hr would be very beneficial.
Seems the SDB could keep that pace?

I've seen claims in forums of people getting 600 rounds per hour... and Dillon says 500 or so.
Realistically, I am getting about 350 - 400... if things are going really smoothly. Filling up primer tubes... not forgetting to refill powder... keeping things clean... finding that %$#$#ing Federal and Blazer .45's have small primers (which gums up the works) and in mixed brass finding that my primers won't fit.... and all the other minor hangups keeps it below optimum.
Today, I let powder run out, which was stupid... but I had to go through a bunch of rounds to see which ones I missed.... PITA. But happens until you really get into the swing of things..
Honestly, I think the people claiming 600 rounds per hour are on crack. Or they have an assistant loading primer tubes, etc. And have never a single hangup... not one crimp (unremoved) ... not one high primer... not one missed bullet/case/etc. error in feeding it (I have done all...). I'd like to see 600... but, hey, maybe?
2500 took me from 10 - 4:30. With a break to figure out which rounds had no %$#@ing powder in them. Realistically, I think about 375 an hour. Which is still not bad.

Not all Federal are small primer. I posted some crap on this a bit ago. My Federal .45 brass is mixed with small and large primers. Guess that I should sort it. Whata bitch!
Whoever came up with that idea should be taken out behind the team room and beaten with a rubber hose.
Just 'sayin.

Lolol!
Well, time to move reloading stuff back to the reloading area.
Here, distract you with tits!

I didn’t see the tits. They were hidden by a high power.
I suspect those claims are for cyclic rate. I can load 18-20 rounds per minute on my 650 (1,100 - 1,200 RPH). Add in all the necessary breaks you mentioned and it's about 700 - 800 RPH actual.
No, it's a High Power, not a High Standard.
I can load about 1,000 rounds in an hour on my Dillon 1050. That is a little over 16 rounds per minute and taking my time.
I really don't care how fast or slow I can go. All that I am happy with is that the 1050 is faster than reloading with a single stage press.
What's the difference between a crush Washer and a Shim Kit?
If I were going to get a sdb, I'd try to find one used with the dies I'd need. Your current dies won't work with a sdb.
Back to motivational:
Get the 650, and a case feeder, best money you will ever spend. I have a different tool head for every caliber that I load. That way the powder measures are set, the dies are set, everything swaps out in a couple minutes and you are off and running.
My reloading room is a shithole right now, but you get the idea. This wasn’t done overnight, the tool heads came one at a time over several years. There is also one on the machine right now for my JP 9mm.
It would be nice to see republicans move that fast on legislation that we want.
If you concider having to drive in to town to get your packages and occasionally bear in your front yard then yea I live in a city. I’m glad to see farmland is enough to satisfy your hunting needs. I personally prefer to be able to hunt were I won’t run into any one or any fence/road/structure
^^ somebody’s in for a ride and some whip lash.
Yessir, I know exactly what you mean. I can remember some details of many fires, but not to the level I can remember some serious medical calls.
Best story I have came in as a cardiac arrest. Upon our arrival the 57 year old man's wife (floor nurse) was doing compressions in the parking lot. I got the Lifepack on him and found V-tac, shock, sinus tac. Moved him to the cot, V-tac, shock, sinus tac. Into the ambulance V-tac again, shock, sinus tac. He held it that time. Airway good, non-rebreather, and I prepped a pressure bag, and got an I.O. ready to continue treatment. Put betadine on his tibia area, put the I.O. to it, and was about to squeeze the trigger. I heard my partner say "hey buddy!" and I saw the man's eyelashes blinking. The man said "what happened?" My partner said, "well, you died". The man said "that's not good". My partner said "but we got you back". I ended up starting an IV instead.
At the Emergency Department the docs and nurses were pretty much saying "what the hell?" I said "hey, we are badasses, yall want us to take him back home?" I was walking about 3 feet off the ground for days later.
8 months later than man came on stage at our annual FD banquet and shook our hands.
2 WW2 Lee–Enfield No. 4 Mk1/2 .303 Bolt Action Rifles, converted to fire 5.56mm ammunition from 20rnd M16 Magazines! Trijicon ACOGs have been crudely welded to the rifles. IDF Slings & Ammo box can be seen too.
Love it! Thats a great story.
I have a few that will stick in my brain forever. Thousands that wont.
Wins and losses.
And a few patients who made lasting impressions. Almost all good. Except the chick on ecstasy who was pretty determined to bite my unit until we got 300 mg of ketamine in her.

Yes, do not pick a fight with us. Our first priory is our safety. 100% sure, you will lose the fight, and lose badly. 1200 pounds of weight, and we have drugs to take control. Don't start no trouble, wont be no trouble.
If Trump were "like" Hitler all of the Democrats would have been killed shortly after his inauguration... I dont think they realize that. Them still being alive=Trump is not "like" Hitler.
When my wife would help me (she put in empty cases, I placed the bullets and ran the handle), I could get 400 .45's/hour on my SDB. That was having primer tubes filled, etc. Was a pretty leisurely pace, too.

Never seen an HP with a 3-hole trigger before....
Agreed. Do yourself a favor and make sure you get it with a casefeeder. If you’re really feeling flush, get a Mr. Bulletfeeder. It’s no gimmick, it works.
my step dad has a 1917 bring back with both mags and the holster he had the paperwork from the war department and a bio of the guy that had it somehow he lost the war department paperwork but still has the bio from them[/QUOTE]
That's all good and fine. Just don't forget to grease your balls.
