Loaded on a Dillon 650XL. Aside from some occasional cussing when I would get a .380 case in. Or when I ran across a crimped primer pocket all in all pretty good time.

Good work. Trying to find components is slowly improving, but not by much. I miss the old days.

...or try to decap a Berdan primer pocket...

Lucky for me components are not an issue. I had bought 3k Winchester FMJ 9mm bullets 4 cases of primers and many pounds of powder way before this stupidity started. It really does pay to buy in large bulk quantities. I mainly did it so as to not have to order all the time.

Darthfluster berdan is a bad word here! I was getting hangups when a single grain of corn cob got next to a case in the feeder. 4 .380's and one 38 Spl caused jams.

Powder is running $36/lb dealer cost according to Gary Reeder.

This is a karma I'm in for!!

But I love the feeling of being in the zone and accomplishing a detailed, repetative task like this and having a great pile of stuff done at the end and wondering where the time went.

In my book > Reloading Time = Quality Time.

After five years I got my 650 set up after my last move. Now I just have to motivate myself to pull the handle.

My advise is to have all your primer tubes full before you start. Visually check the hopper for odd cases as you stock the case feeder (if you have it) if you don't have one get it! When I loaded 45 ACP I was running smooth at about 700 rounds per hour!
