I'm sure there are some reloaders here. I've been shooting my .270 some lately, and I'd like to try some Nosler Ballistic tips. I ended up with a box of their (new) .270 130grain bullets. Looking for someone that I can send them to for loading. I'm in eastern NC towards Morehead City, if anyone is in that area, that would be great. But I'll ship. I've never reloaded or even looked into it (although I probably should, as much as I'm shooting now). What's a fair price for reloading?? Looking for accuracy, not power so much.
Not sure if this is the right forum, so mods, move as necc. |
| Probably should be moved to the reloading section of the Site....but, you may want to make a hobby of reloading. It is fun if you have the time. Just be sure you know what you are doing before loading your first rifle round. Handguns are somewhat easier to reload for. |

I reload but if I didn't I'd learn to reload instead of shooting someone elses reloads, especially the reloads of someone I don't know. Just pick up a reloading book and a Lee Loader and load them yourself.
ETA: If you are really cheap you can learn all about reloading and get load data on the net so then all you need to buy is the loader, powder and primers. |

I just don't have the space or the time to get into reloading right now. It's certainly something I've considered. And likely will get into it down the road. But not right now. I'm sure it's just like AR's, you don't just buy one or two things... you end up buying a whole bunch of stuff!
My choice is A. throw the bullets in the trash B. get someone to reload them for me C. sell them for a few bucks I'd really like to try them out and see how they do. I know it depends on the quality of the loading. Which is why I had hoped to find someone here on the forum that was an experienced reloader that could help. |
| If your wanting to get into reloading I would be more than happy to help as i live south of you in Wilmington. But its not rocket science and its not real expesive to get into. Get into the hobby and do it yourself. Dont trust some random ar15 poster with your bullets. JMO. |

Keep the stuff until you meet a local who will help you, or get the space to do it yourself.
I have a new press and all the associated stuff sitting in the closet right now. Until then, let's face it: modern factory ammunition is great and will do everything you need in a good rifle. |

Just and fyi my first reloader was a lee classic press mounted to a small chest; that held everything and i could carry it everywhere. You dont need a whole lot of stuff to get into it. |

It's considered bad form to reload for other people, stupid to shoot reloads from someone you don't know.
Sell the box of bullets on the EE reloading supplies section. Buy these, The bullet you want, factory loaded. |

It would be very hard for somebody not local to work up specific loads for you. Some rifles shoot better with ammo loaded as little as .25 grains difference. If you are hurting for space, just get a small box and: http://www.thegunsource.com/DisplayPic.aspx?PIC=34353 Even smaller Lee Loader .270 |

If you are hurting for space, just get a small box and: http://www.thegunsource.com/DisplayPic.aspx?PIC=34353 I started with a hand press.. Was able to load some great, and very accurate, loads with it. I still use it at the range when I'm working up loads. |

Not sure if this is the right forum, so mods, move as necc. I think I would reload my own. It's a good hobby and a good way to keep ammo costs down. One of the cardinal rules is that you generally don't shoot other people's reloads. Some consider it acceptable to shoot reloads from a source they trust. I am personally fine with that rule. Still, do you really want to shoot reloads mixed up by some random ARFCommer from GD?

Will these loaders do other calibers? If I do buy something, I would want to be able to reload all the various calibers I shoot. Mainly 9mm/.45/.223/.270. What kind of cost would I be looking at to get a setup that would cover those calibers? I thought I would at the least need several dies, a scale, the Lee, a tumbler, powder, a reloading manual, etc.
Thanks for all the replies. Love this forum! Sounds like my best option is to just hang onto the bullets for awhile, until I do get into reloading. And go buy some of those Winchesters. |
| OP, if you can't reload then stick with factory ammo. Unless you're willing to go to great lengths you're not going to surpass good factory loads for accuracy, safety or consistency. And if the cost is too much then you either need to find a less expensive caliber or buy bulk ammo...or find the space and the time to learn to reload. |
