You're going to shoot 500 ft of film, in one day, with 12 cassettes?  
500 ft of film is the equivalent of 83 rolls of 36 frame film.  That 
means you're going to be reloading each cassette 7 times.  Leica 
cassettes.  In one day?

When are you going to have time to shoot? ;)

I'd seriously think about getting another 70 (standard) reloadable 
cassettes from B&H!
