turret production
I do .45acp on a Lee turret.
I only charge/expand, seat, fcd on the turret. I start with primed/sized brass. I've got a pretty ergonomic setup for brass and bullets and I get 50 every 12 minutes, or 250/ hour. I would not feel comfortable (qc-wise) going faster than this...
Please bear with me--if you have time and patience
A .22lr has about 130 fp of energy leaving the muzzle. A .45 has about 370 fp.
This should somehow be proportional to the energy that the slide mass, recoil spring and mainspring have to absorb when cycling these handguns. Yes/No?

Why
I started as an experiment.
It's fun
It's satisfying.
It's part of the Zen of the shooting hobby
It's also rewarding to save money cuz I'm a stingy SOB.

What was the operational method of the M1907 Savage trial pistol

Ruger again
Thanks for the technical explanation(s).
"The Ruger .22 is a pure fixed barrel blowback, locked only by the mass of the bolt. It is in no way a copy of the Nambu, and its resemblance to the Luger, while deliberate, is totally superficial; the pistols operate entirely...
,45 Luger re: .45 Ruger
Thanks for responding. That was Mike Krause. http://www.krausewerk.com/ I don't know if he still makes them. They were ~10k-12k. I guess the recoil/bolt action is similar with a different spring mechanism.
Can anyone shed any light on this issue.
I have always liked the Ruger MkI/II pistol action for .22lr. It was somewhat copied from the Nambu/Model 14 Japanese sidearm which I think was 8mm.
My question is: has anyone ever developed, or tried to develop a .45acp using this type of action...
Another issue
I have the Chrony light and it works indoors about 60% of the time. Lot's of ERR on the monitor.
I don't know about your indoor range though, but at mine the firing line is fixed and the targets are moveable. The Chrony seems to be severely affected by .45ACP muzzle blast*...
A related thought.
I decap size and prime on the single stage. This is .45ACP. I used to use the autoprime on step two but now discovered the Lee safety prime with the Lee Classic CI press. That little flimsy plastic POC is amazing in its reliability and simplicity, and turns step one and two...
turret use
This is precisely how I am set up and very close to my production. I am very happy with the set up and the process. I usually size and prime one week and charge, seat and crimp the next week.
I still am going to install a safety prime on the single stage just for grins and...
Lee indexer
Here is the 4 hole clamp and ratchet.

They are not idiot proof and will break. The ratchet square is only $.25 to replace, but I would vote for making it idiotproof.
An idiot:D broke mine while trying (but...
Lee Turret
Does the Classic still have the poly indexing clamp and insert? Looks like it on the photo?
I like my old Lee turret fine, but this part should have been improved.
