The time is in the case prep and charging for sure. You will not have to trim and chamfer/debur every time. Check them and unless there is something wrong it will be every other time at most. Some rifles I can go 3 reloads before all the fuss. You use the Lyman 55 that is good. You can experiment with what you use for adjustments for the particular propellant used. I will set mine up like a wedge with flake type and like a deep cavity with ball type. You have 3 planes to move to get your most consistent drop, some experimentation is in order and it will pay off. Invest in some spare brass to have prepped ahead in lots of whatever you want to load in that are primed, clean, and ready to just add a charge and seat the bullet. You can do some of this later in the evening at odd times if you have some extra brass and save it up to actually load just before you need it once you settle on a load. Keeping records will save you time in the long run. Ask me how I know this.
After reflecting on this a little I do use the knocker on the measure at the end of each drop and always keep the hopper between full and no lower than 1/2 full for good consistency of drops. I have not used a baffle yet, use a loading block with 60 holes and I am happy with my results.
