Very true, I can tell from personal experience reloading .22LR is painfully slow. I did it as a fun project and to see if I could. It does work, sorta, the rounds are accurate at 50 yds and you can vary the powder charge to get high velocity or sub sonic for a fairly quite shot. The kit cast two styles of bullets. The standard heeled 40 is my choice, over the CB cap projectile, however it needs to be lubed, there is a groove for that, but I just used the Lee tumble lube. The very slow part is the priming. I tried dropping in a 3/16 punch, light tap with a brass hammer to pop out the old dent from the previous shot. That is a waste of time, and may weaken the case. Then you need to clean the rim, with the small bass tool included in the kit. This takes a little time, not much but is one more step, as in reloading a rifle case. The mixed priming compound is dropped in and acetone drop behind that. Priming compound must be worked into the rim, takes a little time, but is critical. Allowed to dry for 30 minutes to several hours depending on RH. Then a scoop of powder, the double ended scoop is included. By using one or both ends of the scoop a variety of loads can be achieved from different powders. Put the bullet in and crimp. All in all it is reloading like any basic kit, not like on a Dillon 550. While .22LR are available at low prices it is not a great idea. However, a few years ago .22s were very difficult if not impossible to get in our neck of the woods. Who knows how long this frustration will go on. The kit works and I think with some practice production can be speeded up significantly. The priming compound is corrosive. It can also be used to make percussion caps with the old Tap O Cap or the similar tool from .22reloader. This is a fairly quick process using soda pop cans to punch primer cups from, mix compound, drop into the cup, a drop of acetone, and let them dry. They go bang very well.
