I was thinking this morning about a few folks I know who run full auto rental services. Pretty much every moment that's not spent out on the range is spent reloading many, many thousands of rounds. They go through hundreds of thousands of rounds every year. I know that at least one of them just has a big Dillon for every caliber.
This got me to wondering about commercial type automated reloaders. Something that doesn't require a person there to pump the crank.
I know that commercial reloaders have gear like this but I've never seen it discussed here.
What is the price range of units like this? I assume that it is very high but I know some folks who would pay ALOT for something like this. Do we think that the price might be coming down on something like this? We already have case feeders, bullet feeders, primer tubes, etc. How far are we from technology that would automate a consumer level reloading press?
While we're at it how about other bulk reloading machines like a tumbler with a 10,000 round capacity? Are there machines for sorting brass sizes and headstamps or is that all done manually (hate that job)?
