    The markup on some things are just a joke and pretty greedy IMHO.

    I agree. Just a vicious circle though unfortunately, not a big enough market for them to compete here, and then we buy overseas making the market that much smaller. My money though.

    How long would you estimate something like this to take to make say 100 rounds?

    It throws an accurate charge 95-100 times at a guess, and as fast as I can tip in the powder and seat a projectile.

    Sometimes its 0.1 gn low. In that case I trickle in 0.1 of a grain using my powder trickler.

    Now that you mention it I don't recall mine going over. It is always under by .1
    I haven't had a powder trickler for over 10 yrs.
    Good idea tho in should get another.

    Same here. It's always under not over. And that's a good thing.

    You can trickle more in ... But if it's over you have to tip it back into the hopper
