Help with ammunition reloaders question...

[Kohai999]

I'm looking for someone interested in working with my tumbled, once fired BHA Match and Federal match .308 brass and Berger bullets to turn it into finished cartridges at a BETTER price than Federal or BHA....doesn't have to be tackdriver, just reasonable approximation of the originals....better blasting ammo if you will.

Anyone recommend a source?

Have you considered just buying a press and doing it yourself? Truthfully, it just isn't all that expensive or hard. And to be honest, I don't think there's an amateur handloader out there whom I'd trust to load ammo for me.

Go on line and look at Lee Products. They have complete one caliber cartridge loaders from about 20 bucks up.

I have a single stage Hornady press.....it is worth it to have someone load for my needs.

As a long time gunsmith, my sincere advice is do NOT have someone else load for you! I've seen too many rifles and handguns destroyed, and some shooters seriously injured by improper loads. I could write a book about the crazy, stupid, and/or just plain careless things some folks do when reloading. Ammo reloading is one area where "DO IT YOURSELF" should be the order of the day unless you intimately KNOW the other person and his/her reloading methods.

Very, VERY good advice.

Get a press and "roll yer own"....

I question reloaded ammunition from gun shows. The thought of getting someone I don't personally know to reload my spent cases makes me shudder. Who pays when your expensive rifle is damaged by an improper load?

A Dillion progressive will serve you well. You can turn out high quality loads quickly and efficiently with one.

I'm afraid that people seem to misunderstand me(not the first time).

HSM for example DOES reload fired brass, and they make pretty good ammo, imo. I can get a case of 1000 rds of 168gr BTHP for about $.97 a round from them+ shipping.

Right now, Federal Match is costing me about $1.50/round+shipping.

NOT looking for some backyard loader, I CAN do that myself...looking for companies like HSM, something in CA would be excellent.
