Thanks to @ATLDave and his suggestion to add one of these and speed up my reloading process, I've just set up an Auto-Drum on my LCT. And it's obvious why he suggested it. Much faster, much smoother.
I'll now just use the RCBS for the .45-70, and any very precise loading that I may do in the future.
One thing I did notice was that the addition gizmo (down-stroke verification device) to prevent double charges seemed much more likely to catch me out, and have me end up with a cartridge empty of powder. So that came off faster than it went on. I did purchase the riser, as was suggested by others. That too was a good call.
I wonder, does anyone know if the small drum can provide enough volume for full charges of A2400 in .44 mag? It would be nice to not have to switch the drums between handgun cartridges. Or perhaps that would be better, as I could leave both drums set for my two preferred loads; 5.5gr of W231 in .45acp; and 20.0gr of 2400 in .44 mag. So maybe I should be asking if the large drum can provide a small enough volume for the .44 mag load?
I'm sure I'll figure that out soon enough.
