I got some time off at Christmas & decided to stop ignoring that pile of brass I had in the corner of my garage. So here is the equation, 80lbs of lead, 6lb of powder, 2500-3000 gas checks, 2.5 tubes of lube + alox, 3000 primers (not everything was loaded with lead) & a crap load of time to aneal, trim, size, tumble, cast & finally load = 2500rnd rifle cast, 500 rifle jacketed, 500 45 acp.
Two observations, 1 the lee 10 lb pot can't keep up, i need a 20 & 2 my new auto index press held up just fine. Loading cast is the only way I could afford to do this.
