I finished resizing my first bag of 100 the other day .

That 100 took me 20 minutes . Takes almost that long to bolt the press down on my desk and remove it . Still have 200 more to size at some point . Think I’ve still got some new REM’s to do as well . Week after next think I’ll figure out what else needs it besides the remaining 200 WIN’s then get them all done and pack that press away as I may never use it again !

Your setup is a bit faster than mine then haha .Im using a arbor press I dont have it bolted down though as it doesnt take much effort at all to resize the Winchester hulls. CL said hes getting about 8-9 reloads out the Winchester so yeah depending on how much you shoot those will probably last years .

I was thinking If I end up ordering 50 brass cases that would probably be a life time supply of 8 gauge shells. I was watching some wildfowlers using the 8 gauges and it looked like they never carried more than a handful of shells at any given time .

Between WIN and REM hulls I've got 1000+ so I'll never wear out what I have . Have three hundred unfired WIN and 200 unfired REM . So once I've sized any that need the initial sizing I'm pretty much done for the rest of my life or so it would seem . I do have a couple hundred REM that are once fired from a kiln gun that I think also need the initial resizing .

I have a 100 bag of the green once fired Remingtons, it takes some serious force to resize them though. I much prefer the Winchesters for that .
