I only use the block for rifle ammo, can't double charge there.This is a good point. When I started I charged one case at a time. Had a tub with primed brass, and I'd pull one out, charge, and set in the block. I had to of done well over 1000 rounds of 9mm, 45, .38sp, .40 like that. Gotta be careful about the charges ya' know! Now I put 8/16 pieces of primed brass in the block and pass the block under the thrower to charge them. And re-weigh one every 8th-16th charge.
Heck I started on a Lee loader doing 38 specials one at a time. Then a RCBS junior that when I became competent I could load 100 38s an hour. Square Deal does 450 and no mistakes if you keep it fed in every way.
Like it better than the 550 because you have to manually index the 550.
