When I have enough... 500 or so... .45acp.... I spend an hour or so depriming and straigtening the cases. That's batch one. A night or so later, while watching tv, I hand prime those 500 cases using a RCBS hand primer. I don't like the desktop primer thingy they sell. A couple nights later, when I have some free time.... I spend an evening sitting in front of the tv, or talking to my Mrs.... while I prime. All of these are "batch" exercises. Then I spend an hour flaring the cases.... and put them in a plastic coffee can ... ready to powder charge and finish. Each process is a "batch"... The logical stopping point is once they have been flared and primed. Currently I have about 1000 in that condition. When I am going shooting, I'll take 100-200 and powder charge and seat bullets. That final process will take about a half hour or so. And I'm off to the range.
