Researching the LNL and 650

About 250 rds per hour once familiar with it. Of course I need a tumbler and other tools are not part of the press kit but that's fine. What you all think?

That sounds good really. 250 per hour is good. Does that including checking powder on every 50-100 rounds?

Just for comparison:

On my 650 I can do about 500-600 rounds an hour with all the refilling stuff in the middle (primers, powder). I check powder ever 100 rounds. I used to check more often but the Dillon dispenser is super good and I don't load to max on the 45 so I have wiggle room. I have never had an issue with the powder getting out of whack on my loads.

On the 10mm I check every 50 because I make them hotter. But I only load about 20% as much at my 45.
