How many rounds do you load in a month? I usually load 1 caliber until I run out of supplies or my stock pile is adequate then change to another caliber or stop loading what ever caliber I am doing to reload another caliber (260AI) for an upcoming shoot. Some of you guys have had some shots through my stuff at Kents and Waldrop I only have 2 hobbies, shooting and reloading. The more I do of one the more I can do of the other |

Yep. You got me beat. I only avg 300-500 rounds per month (single stage) 6 to 8 months a year. I generally don't reload during hunting season due to time. Most of mine is 6.5 CM, but mix in some 308, 300WM, 6.5 Grendel, and some 10mm.
I see you mentioned 700 Nitro. You just reload and shoot it for fun or have you taken it on some dangerous game hunts on the dark continent? Quote HistoryQuoted:

Just got off the press stuffing 9x19. The 550 is nice, but I've decided that I NEED a 650 with a bullet feeder.
