Re: First time loading 1000 duplicate rounds.

Small brass and primers handling drives me knuts. I don't like the repetitive handling of that small jewelry when dealing with large quantities.
However, for precision performance I do like using competition dies for seating.
Therefore a solution I learned from AMU internet postings was to use my Dillon 650 case feeder and decapping, sizing, and primer stations only. This allows me to prepare brass for loading at around 50 rounds per minute not counting allowances for bath room breaks and reloading various feeders.
Further I use auto scale/powder trickler so that next powder charge is weighed while I am seating previous round. For maximum performance, I don't trust powder measure, although, some might. I use my Co-Ax press with competition die for seating operations.
I found this system works for all my short action rounds including .260, .204, and .308.
