Default ammo manufacturing?

I am really curious how large ammo manufacturing companies produce their ammo. Do they have a lot of progressive presses manned by people or do they have large machines that produce 100 rounds in a single swipe? Does anyone know? I'm curious. Thanks in advance.

Or if he $30K plus for an Ammoload is too much buy a Dillon 1050 and hang an auto drive on it. You could probably get one of these going for a couple of grand: Ponsness Warren Auto-Drive Dillon RL1050 - YouTube

So what sort of license does one need in order to sell home-manufactured ammo? Just curious...
