Be honest, now. My personal record for reloading shotshells, which is to say the most I have done in a minute, without help and not with another person watching (that doesn't void the record, does it?), which was set very recently, but nonetheless still counts, is, ladies and gentlemen, the result of my very best attempt that yielded my fastest time that ended with a result of...(drum roll, please)...zero shotshells reloaded.
I have yet to learn how to reload. I'm curious, though. What are some of your fastest times? It will help me get a better idea of this craft.

It' not how fast you can reload, it's consistancy. With consistancy, comes speed and quality ammo.
My PW 800B with taper crimp upgrade, I can load and box 275 rounds (11 boxes) an hour. Boxing and inspection takes the longest, still, that is over 4 rounds a minute and includes refilling the primers every 100, filling the powder and shot. Straight out reloading, no boxing or inspecting, I can easily add 1 new hull every 5 seconds. Thats 22 shells a minute consistantly, as long as my primers. powder and shot are full AND wads and hulls are setup in advance.
Again, you must know the qwerks of your machine and limitations.
I have set a goal to wear out this press in my life time. I bought the press used over 12 years ago and reload over 10K/year worth of trap and skeet shells on it. And yes, I reload Black Powder Cowboy shells on it also.
BUT, I DO NOT PUT BLACK POWDER IN THE PRESS !!!!!!!!!
I hand pore the Black Powder into the case !!!
