Well,
40 minutes to load 50 rounds of 45 ACP, FMJ Slow and methodical
But heck think of the number of yanks on the handle I saved! (it even stayed tight as I modded it with a o ring lock washer.)
At 7 rounds, Primer Tube Jam. Dissemble clear primers. Dump primers in cup, Do the primer pickup/pecking dance again.Load tube. Start over.
27 minutes in, rolling along. Decapping pin malfunction (no big deal) find wrenches fix pin, Start over
Press still not indexing exactly right, every so often not advancing enough.
Finished 50 rounds ,Oops one round no live primer, powder spill all over, cleanup on aisle 7.
Took primer assembly apart, cleaned(found hiding primer) Get teezers, add those to tool "kit"
Took shell plate off cleaned, lubed (yes ,it's tight put a lock ring on it)
Piddled around with left pawl again. Seems good, will wait until next time. Gonna shoot for 50 rounds in 25 minutes
Always good to have a "goal"
