I have been running low on ammo and finally got around to doing some reloading today.
I did .223, 12 gauge slugs, and .375 Ruger today.
The .223 was on my Dillon 650 progressive press. Took about 3 hours to do 1000 rounds (1 1/2 for sizing, trimming, and primer swaging and 1 1/2 for loading).
The 12 gauge was on a Mec Sizemaster using the Lyman 525 slugs that I cast (see my website for more info about this).
The .375 Ruger was on a Lyman T-Mag. These were my first .375 Ruger rounds and I did 50 with the Hornady factory 270grain and 50 with Lyman 375449 bullets that I cast.
The cast .375 Ruger cost about $1.30 / round to load from new brass ($1/round) vs about $3 each for factory ammo. The 2nd loading will be about $0.30 each vs $3.
Planning to do another reloading class on Dec 6th. I should have it on the calendar and posted in my forum in a day or two.
