I need a new handgun...lets talk guns today. :D

you won't find a more reliable handgun

 

That's damn near more than the rifle! lol I have the same RPR in 6.5 Creedmoor with the same scope, and it was just under $2k over a year ago lol I just have a Harris bipod on mine though

 

I spent about 2 hours and 15 minutes making 150 9mm rounds....which will take me about 15 minutes to shoot them. This is not a very efficient process lol

 

You mean the Slovakian Sig 229?
Don't get me wrong, the Arex is a good gun, just not really original.

It also looks like they've integrated some 320 look into the slide.

 

What press are you using. For a single stage that may be a good rate but I have done almost 2k 357 mag in that amount of time with my dillon

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

Looks like a Chinese clone of a Sig made in Slovenia.

 

It's a labor of love. Don't question it. Find your zen place. LOL

 

No doubt.. should take a lot less than 15 minutes. Perhaps a binary trigger would help.

 

You say it like it's a bad thing

 

Great gun to copy. My worries are always the metals used that are from manufacturers I’ve never heard of. And when someone straight clones another gun it makes me weary of failures as well.

 

Lyman press. One at a time...takes a long time. I'm also wasting about 20 minutes because I have to do an extra step since my depriming die doesn't size. But I just put in an order last night for another die that does both at once, so that will save me some time. And if my powder dispenser doesn't glitch and re-calibrate after every 5-7 dispenses, I should be able to bring that time down closer to 1.5 hours for 150 rounds.

Once I run through all my bullets/primers/cases/powder, I'm not doing this anymore lol I'll only do rifle rounds after that (NOT 5.56!).

Well this is shared between multiple guns, so it's 15 minutes just cuz I need to switch guns when I'm at the range lol

 

I used to love sitting on a bench with a tv on in my garage and loading. Ahhh when I used to have spare time.

 

If I can do it in the house I wouldn't mind it as much. I would do it while watching racing or something. But I don't have the space and right setup to do it inside. It's hot as balls in the garage and the stool I have is not very comfortable either. May need to invest in a better one. I already bought a window AC unit to cool down the place but even with it on for a few hours, the temp was still in the 80s.

 

I had a leather recliner chair at a desk setup and a Mitsubishi garage AC .

 

I don’t like getting too comfortable or distracted reloading. Most I’ll do is listen to music Great thing about progressive is quick. Bad thing is a little hiccup can blow some serious time.

 

I think you're looking at it from the wrong perspective.

Why can’t you reload in the house?

 

Cuz the press is bolted to the workbench in the garage. I have nowhere inside where I can put that, and I don't have space to get another table so I can bolt the press to. I just moved into another house and I have 1 less room than I did before.

 

Have you considered a more mobile attachment system?
My cousin has his reloading equipment in a uninsulated garage. Fug that! I would
Never be motivated to reload anything in extreme heat or cold.
