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.

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.
