Sounds about right to me. I can usually fit 150 boolits standing up in my oven.
If you are going to make a hole in something. MAKE IT A BIG ONE!
I do the shake routine then into a colander with enlarged holes for the ASBB to drop through
then dump PC bullets onto a tray
from there to the oven. Much quicker than picking them up one by one and no marks (did do the one by one method when I started)

I can do 400+ at a time. Most of the time is taken up plucking & placing bullets. Using the empty cartridge tray as jigs speeds things up a lot. I can usually get two trays ready to go in the time it takes for my over to heat. Then the other two trays while they are cooking.
EVERY GOOD SHOOTER NEEDS TO BE A HANDLOADER.
