If you assume a 230 grain bullet, That should put you somewhere in the neighborhood of 325 grains per loaded round. 7000 grains per pound.
You're looking something like 663 rounds, give or take!
That's a lot of rounds on a single stage.
Time for a Dillon!

Re: The ammo plant is running
I have a LNL ammo plant and find that the case feeder is what I think sped things up the most. The bullet feeder is OK but could do with out it is loud and I only run it to fill the tube then shut it off.

Huh? I think you need to check your math.

I got 646 rounds, if you have your brass prepped and primed, you can knock out some ammo.
I have a progressive press, but still use a ss to load 45 ammo.
We've even had reloading parties on weekends, 3-4 of us knocked out 8k rounds on a weekend, with 3 ss presses, and had fun.
