Sounds like you've been really busy dowop. What kind of press do you use?

That's a lot of rounds in a day and a lot of work! You should be well supplied for awhile. I need to get motivated. It's going to be Spring before you know it.

That press looks very familiar. I think the last time I loaded more than 100 at a sitting was when I bought my Ruger SR1911 .45 Auto. I loaded 300 rounds of hardball one day and 200 the next evening. Then I spent the next 2 days at the range shooting them all up. Shot them all without cleaning the gun, just a little lubing, and there were no malfunctions. It sure needed a good cleaning when I was done.

The only thing I reload anymore is 44 Mag with mostly unique. It does burn cleaner than it did a long while back. I still wear shooting gloves with it because of the blow-back from the revolvers.

Kinda ashamed to say I don`t clean the revolvers that often(
I do clean the Sig,Sheild & Compact every 3-400 rds

Dowop I don't clean my revolvers as often as I should either. Some of them I've had for 40 years and they don't seem any worse for wear.

dowop, I've got one of those presses. Never did get the auto index to work, and neither could Lee.

I never had any problem with mine Teddy. After loading lots of rounds, the auto-index wasn't lining up quite right. A little cheapie square plastic piece fixed that, and it's worked every since.
