for those with high volume progressive presses, have you ever measured the temp on your sizing die? how hot does it get?
i tend to load in small batches. i.e. load 100-200 rounds and then head to the range. so during the 3-6 minutes that takes, my die gets warm to the touch, while all the other dies remain a cool ambient temp. i'm just wondering if those of you who load 1000 rounds at a sitting or something have ever needed to manage the heat.
fwiw, i'm not using lube on the cases. we're talking 9mm range brass.
