How many of what have you loaded in one sitting on which machine?

[Trey45]

I did 1000 9mm in one sitting. On a Dillon 550.
I thought that was a lot, until I talked to a buddy of mine who has done 5000 in one day...
My "personal best" is 1000 in one sitting, what's yours?

[drsfmd]

I took a mental health day once and loaded 2500 28ga shotshells and about 1000 45acp's... all in one sitting.

[Coonazz]

5000, WOW!
Have done 2000 223 62 grainers for my EBR's in one session quite a few times on one of my 550's. Think I got tennis elbow from that! Of course that was when components were ALOT cheaper than they are now...

I must be a wuss. I max out in the 300 to 500 range with my 550. I just get tired and bored. I don't like loading once I get tired and bored.

This happens to me more often than not.

700 on a LCT. It was three different bullets for my 357s. I had nothing better to do on a Saturday morning.

I used to sit down and do 500-600 of .357 or .45ACP in a sitting (not counting bathroom breaks and time to go refill my coffee cup) on a Lee single-stage. But that was when I didn't even have a dog to keep me company and nothing but work, and then hunting and shooting to take up my time. Hey, it left me no time to spend at the bars like most of my friends were doing, and believe it or not, but reloading is a much cheaper hobby than child support. I bet they had more fun though... nevermind.

I load on a single stage press.
200 in one day is about all I want to load....dale

A few years back, when I was shooting competition (and running through 25-30,000 rounds a year), I'd routinely load 800-900 at a sitting, either on my D550 (.45 ACPs) or SDB (.38 Spl). These days, though, 400-500 is about all the fun I can handle before my butt goes to sleep.

I have done 250 9mm in a sitting with a Lee Reloader press. I'd have done more, but that was as many as I could do before I ran out of places to put them and had to change from loading to seating.

I've also done 250 in a sitting using a set of hand-held 9mm Lee Loaders. (The ones that you use a mallet with.)

I did 800 .223 last night in one sitting, finished up the last 200 this morning. A thousand rounds is about all I like to do. Much more often it's 3-400 at a sitting and usually batches of 100 of this and 100 of that. That's on an RCBS Pro 2000.

[TheCelt]

I've done 1100 45 ACP in one sitting but I paid for it!!! 400-500 is about all I'm good for anymore before the joints start to go.

[rmatchell]

I always try to load in 100 round groups. I'm lucky to get time to finish that much. With two kids under 4 I don't push it to often, maybe once they are older.

Wow I only got to #29 in my 308 Lee Loader before the wife told me to order the Classic Turret ..

Still, nice work!

[Case Stuffer]

Well do you really mean one sitting or one day? If I load sitting the every 100 primers I have to standup and replinish the primers,also have to add more brass sometimes more powder also.

Back when I was in my thirties , shot competition ,reloaded for some fellow club members and an indoor range it was normal for me to load 5K plus a day and some days 10K plus. CH Auto Champ Mk.V used for 9mm,.45ACP,.44Mag. , Star Progrressive used fo .38Special and .357 Mag. Either of these machines is capable of 1 K per hour as long youhave a helper filling primer tubes, keeping brass collater toped off,inspecting finished rounds etc..

These days I only load for myself and mostly just load a couple of hundred and at a very relaxed pace which takes 30 minutes or so.

Mine wants to start shooting, which means I'll need to spend more time reloading, so maybe I can talk her into an upgrade. Well, after the current insanity dies down, anyway.

300 .25 ACP on my Lee single stage, though I did prime on a RCBS bench primer next to it. Those little bullets liked to make a leap onto the spent primer tube if I let them.

[runfiverun]

I had some [lots of] help, but knocked out 10,000 12 ga trap shells in one day, I would have done more but run out of hulls.
I was using the l/s-1,000 ponsess warren which is still set up for that same load come to think of it.
I have never even come close to trying that again.
I have size/lubed 8,000 boolits in one day since then.

[Spawn-Inc]

1500-2000 9mm on a pro 1000.

[No_1]

I have loaded 5k in 1 weekend when my Dad come down. 38 Special, 357 Mag, 41 Mag, 44 Special and 45 Colt. It was tough considering I had to lube most the bullets before we loaded.

I believe Runfiverun just won the internet with that count
