Regarding machine set ups for making primers, I was referring to fabricating the cups, running drying ovens or other mechanized operations.
Do they add the "seal" and anvil by hand, too?
The whole idea was just a hair brained idea. I'm struggling to make sense of a seemingly out of control world.

0 chance of them stopping the machines, resetting them to run a different size, and only doing it for 2 days especially when they would have to pay overtime to make it happen.
IF, and that's a big if, a company was going to change production it's going to be for a long time span.
I'll equate it to refineries. Everytime gas goes up everyone says why don't they build another refinery? Well it would take billions of dollars and years of building that's why. Then once gas goes back down what happens to the billion dollar investment? The return on the money isn't there.
No different here. If a company wanted to increase production 30-40 percent the outlie of money would be huge. And years to get permits, schedule and build the facility, and hire and train employees. And what happens in the interm if the ukraine calms down and gaza fizzles out? The company has a multi-billion dollar investment and no need for the expanded production.
Reality is that these companies aren't worried about reloaders. They are worried about huge .gov contracts and what they sell to us is not enough to concern them. They are going to do what they need to do to maintain the biggest revenue. Which unfortunately for us means what is happening currently.
