Large Batch Reloading - How Many Do You Load At A Time?

[trickie]

6.5 cm and 223 batches of 250/300 each a couple or three times a year.

Good job he doesn't go fly fishing, he would be tying flies all the time

That made me remember a conversation I had with a Scottish International. I was blown away by the quantity of flies he would tie for a comp

Batch process - de prime, size, trim, chamfer, neck tension, all cases one step at a time, then fill with powder and seat one bullet at a time.
Doing it this way means every case has been inspected multiple times. For my next outing, jacketless 303, I'm thinking about crimping as I'll be expanding before seating.

I load for 3 cals and try to do 100 at a time

roughly 200-500 a time but i have a fair few calibers to load. currently having a bit of a spat at notts getting my limit raised... 170 round allocation for 3x 308 target/stalking rifles!

 

[KimE]

100/batch .38spl target rounds
50 .300blk and .308w hunting rounds fmj, grouse and practice
25-30 .300blk and .308w hunting rounds, beaver or biggame
9mm I dont reload it for now .1£ of saving are not worth it.
13/batch 12,17mm-44r blackpowder for my 1867 cases cost 3£ each.

 

[Jefe]

Up to 100 at a time (although I am currently doing 150 .44 Mag loads for my Henry undercover)

For precision rifle though:

Deprime, tumble, full length size and shoulder bump with neck bushing, expand with mandrel, trim, charge, seat bullet. One operation at a time. All cases from one bin to another so nothing gets missed

 

[nic531]

556 i do 600-700 at a go at each stage
Anneal then de prime and fl size, check length, clean etc
Other calibers
38 =100
303=100
6.5x55=50

 

[Greenmist]

Minimum of 50, thats what my loading tray holds and also the size of my smallest ammo box

 

[Demetrius]

What Greenmist just said..........only that's my maximum.

Make every shot count......
