Default Spent a couple hours with the 650 this afternoon...

I tapped out at 1300 rounds. My tennis/reloader's elbow was telling me enough was enough. I still have couple hundred Starline cases sitting in the feeder. I noticed doing this with a quick rythm actually causes the dies to warm up. Case lube, which I haven't used in two years, started coming out of my sizing die. A more note worthy observation was that I managed zero priming issues in this bulk loading run. Primers were CCI 550's I picked up on sale at Midway...cheaper than 500's which is why Im using them for non magnums. The load of the day was Xtreme 125gr truncated plated, 6.0gr CSB1, .357 brass. I've shot this one about 8000 times so far with outstanding results. This last batch should keep my .357's fed for about five weekends

1300 rounds in 2 hours....

I thought I was in tall cotton when I bolted a second single-stage on my bench.

Any time spent reloading is always time well spent. Happy shooting.
