Trade Powder and Primers for Reloading

[Mtwoodson]

I have some powder, primers and misc reloading gear. I would like to trade for someone to load some 300 Winmag and 375H&H. I have the dies, brass, bullets and some powder. (I'd probably be happy if this wasn't your first time, LOL) I'm just over the bridge, near Kent Narrows.

Not sure of the legality of this just because I know you need a license to manufacture ammo for sale. However, what you ask for is a generally frowned upon practice for other reasons. If I do the reloading for you I assume a great deal of liability if, among other things, you blow up your gun using ammo I made.

Furthermore, you're taking a huge risk that the person you find can actually reload safely. Its your face getting blown to bits if the reloading is done impropperly.

And finally, its poor practice to just make a whole batch of ammo without doing a slow, thorough load work-up for that specific gun, complete with thorough examination of each piece of fired brass for signs of high pressure. Failure to go through the entire meticulous process is dangerous.

IMO, you'd be much better served by asking for someone to let you use your components in their reloading equipment with you doing the reloading & them teaching & supervising.

Good luck & be safe!

If that's the consensus, I'll guess i'll set up my presses and try to roll my own. Stand back.

I agree with Oreo on this one. If you are unsure you should get some manuals and read them before attempting this. Slow and easy is the way to go.

I couldn't agree more! Check more than one manual and read ALL the instructions (then read them again) before even looking at the load data.

I'm older. Everything I do is slow and easy, even when I hurry.

What I did was find someone with a press and I use his and we share the work but we are loading only pistol rounds with a progressive press.

I noticed Hendershots in Hancock MD, does custom handloading, and load development. If your really pressed on getting handloaded ammo, and not wanting to do it yourself, it may be worth an inquiry.
