Seems like it takes me most of a day. From cleaning brass, segregating cases, etc. I am against the clock now, getting ready for an elk hunt. Just a thought. Thanks!
 
Brass prep takes me forever. I usually load 500+ all at the same time. Cleaning, annealing, sizing, trimming takes me a few days. Priming, charging, and bullet seating takes me just a few hours, maybe 5.

I like your taste in books, by the way.
 
Kimber,

Having the right tools IMHO saves a lot of time. I purchased a Giraud Trimmer and it has been a godsend. It has cut my brass prep time down by a considerable margin. next on the agenda is a Stainless steel tumber. These two tools I feel can dramatically cut down on time spent reloading. Of course a Prometheus II would be icing on the cake, but I do not think they are available anymore.
