250 rounds? For me. Should be about 40 minutes. I've shot 600 rounds in an 1 hour 40 min? 500 rounds being the nominal per week @ 1 hour 30 min. Give or take.
All depending also; which three guns I take. Which rounds..
Pictured : loading speed blocks from safariland. Hks#10s. 38 short colts loaded with 124 gr 9mm's@ starting 9mm loads. The day it did get real hot , I took two racks of those safariland filled with 38s and finished off with 50 magnums. I wouldn't touch the barrel because i knew it was hot by then. Radiating heat. But i had to touch the cylinder to put in the speedloaders. Not wearing gloves.
If it weren't for loading blocks or moonclips; forget it. I would never be able to shoot that many rounds.
And if i do keep the model 66 around, I'd probably limit it to maybe 150 rounds.
