A former reloader dying inside

[Hammsolo]

I sold my reloading equipment long ago amid a financial crisis… I regret it. I have the money now, but I don’t have the time. I want a single custom hand loaded elk round in my new 300wm with Leupold CDS turret. Does anyone have experience with custom hand loaders? I’m looking at Hendershot and Custom Ammunition right now. Open to any advice.

Check with unknown munitions. They offer a load developing service that is well reviewed. They will also give you the load data so you can load it yourself if you ever get back into it. I took their reloading class last year and it was excellent.

Come over and use mine?

Another recommendation for Unknown Munitions. Fantastic quality. Fantastic customer service. Fantastic family. Highly recommended.

I was gonna say… send components, I’ll send you loads… but using JLS’s press is probably a better option.

Also, I’ve never used Unknown Munnitions in Post Fals, but my hunting partner used them with good results.

I bought some already loaded 30-06 ammo from Unknown Munitions when things were scarce and it shoots great. I have chatted with their load development manager at the range a few times and sounds like they are extremely busy. I debate on using them for load development or taking their class and doing DIY. Would be starting from scratch on equipment for me.

Think you could get a homie the hook-up on some H1000?

I am probably too low on the acquaintance list to get the hookups on product.

Dang it.

Try Safari Arms LTD. They did some great work with my 7mm Rem Mag. 5/8" at 100 yards.

Choice or Hammer. I used to load for others. No more. Too much liability. mtmuley

Does Hammer load? I thought they just made bullets. That’s cool.

Yep. Custom loading. And you can request bullets other than Hammers. mtmuley

Apparently Unknown will also reprocess your brass so you don't have to buy fresh stuff each time. No idea if that saves much, but it might help when components are scarce.

You may have opened Pandora’s box!

I think that’s only an option if the brass originally came from them. As in you bought a 50 batch with ADG brass, they’ll load it back up for you.

So JLS and I are going on a conquest! Going to team up on reloading. My rifle is built off a Tikka. 1-11 twist. Looking at the 30 160 Hammer Hunter. Any experience all? JLS has some great ideas. Time for a reloading rebirth.

I think I have a pound of it. I will put your name on it.

Have you thought about having Hammer do the load? I think it runs around $500. E. WA to Bitterroot Valley is a great road trip
