I also have “case-kickers” on my LCT’s.
In general, I don’t reset my presses for high volume loading, I just end up buying another press. Especially my progressives.
So that 500rnds in 2-3 hours you mention was about 45min on my 650, about an hour on my LNL-AP. Even with a cartridge change, I’m done with 500rnds in less than half of the time on either progressive as I am on the turrets.
We’ve been down this road many times. The turrets just aren’t progressives, no matter how much lipstick we put on the pig. I love my LCT’s for how I use them, don’t get me wrong, but for high volume reloading, they’re still like running a marathon carrying a boat anchor compared to the progressives.
