Reloading Measure

How long does it take to reload ammo?

I am looking into reloading ammo for my Colt that uses 38-40 Win. Assuming you are using a single stage press, a decent powder measure and a hand priming tool, how long would it take to reload 50 rounds of ammo? I know that as a beginner I will be much slower, so what I want to know is about how long it will take once I get the hang of doing it.

hey.

I just finished loading 20 rounds of .308, with 4 different powder measurements between them. it took about 30 to 45 minutes on a single stage press. Though 70-80% of that time was measuring the amounts on my scales. Once its set up and your powder thrower is throwing consistent amounts, the process is actually fairly quick, and you could expect to load 50 rounds anywhere from 20-45 minutes or so. Saying this im new to reloading aswell and have only been doing it for about 1 week. But if your new to it reloading is definately worth while regardless of time taken. But if time is short then you could always invest in a multi stage press like the ones from dillon.

cheers
