Okay, so you are sitting in front of your Dillon RL550 progressive reloading machine. (you can substitute your progressive machine if you don't use the superior Dillon setup) You are all set to start. You have 100 primers, cases, bullets & the powder measure is calibrated....

Which is faster? 9mm or 40S&W?
 
First of all, the RL550 is not superior to all other progressives. :)

Secondly, they should be similar in speed, maybe the 40 a fraction faster as the 40 components are easier to handle as they are a bit bigger.

won't be a noticeable difference.

guess it depends if you have girly hands or thumb fingers. Laugh2
 
Thank you for your comments. Yes the 650 has a faster production rate, and I mentioned that you might use another press, but reloading on a RL650, the question is: which reloads faster. 9mm or 40?

First of all, I am not comparing or evaluating presses! Just want an opinion from reloaders which caliber is faster!!!!!
 
Neither one is faster to load on my 1050's.

357SIG and 9mm are close in speed. 9 is a tapered case and the SIG is a bottleneck. 40 is marginally faster.

Keep in mind, I have a DAA Bulletfeeder running, Casefeeder with roll sized brass, and an RF100 Primer filler working.

For practical purposes on a 550, if you notice a difference, you are doing something wrong.
 
I don't load 40cal but 9mm vs 45acp i would say are the same for me. Now either of those vs 38spl, the 38spl looses as it's a bit harder to see in the case.
 
40 cal has no purpose other than having an argument with the 9mm and 45 crowds, and simply should never have been invented. It cannot even shoot into space.
