I agree with you totally. I also question those who make the claims of 300+ on any LCT regardless of the technique or add-on equipment. Anyone can pump out 6 or 7 rounds per minute for a few minutes on a turret press. That is way different from keeping up that pace for 1 or 2 hours.
If I eat a slab of raw meat and then start handloading I can get 500 rounds per hour on my progressive as it's currently set up. On days when all I have to eat is Trix or Frosted Flakes, the output is 400 rounds, sometimes a bit less.
