Thread: Commercial reloaders?

Just before I give up my subsonic project completely or go down the rabbit hole of reloading, are there any gunshops or gunsmiths that offer a professional service?

Reloading is not something that's ever appealed to me, but I have a specific need now.

Try Mark Bridgeman at Custom Cartridges

Does Alan Newnham still do it. @Philipo
He reloaded for me before I got my a into g.
Few years back now though.

Mate there’s bound to be someone nearby that’d do it for you.
Shit if we could post ammo I’d do it lol
I love tediously, brain draining, meticulous process lol

For my time constraints now I am getting to the point where I am ready to pay someone to Just load for me. Used to love it so much but mate with all the gear moved away so a major pain now

Custom cartridges in taupo. Could contact jarred who owns Blackwatch reloading as think he does it and from all accounts is bloody good at it. Definitely loads and does development for the red stag hunter boys

What calibre you wanting to reload for ? Do you have projectiles?

Yes try Mark he uses my 151 HP's in his .308 Subs
Also Dean Maisey does reloading I believe could be wrong on that.

Some, perhaps many, of us reload for friends, family, neighbours. I recently developed loads for an older club member. He supplied me with brass, I supplied projectiles, powder and primers. I loaded 20 incremental test loads. He shot them, found he could get best result at one node. I made 6 more to confirm. Then made him up 40 that he reckons will see his hunting days out. Apart form the pleasure of doing it he presented me with 140 once fired brass and 3/4 of a bottle of powder he no longer required but which I could use for another calibre. He was delighted to get better groups, groups of 3 touching at 60m, than he had ever got from factory. I was more than happy with the brass and powder. If he needs more he will get them on the same basis I load for others - either they cover costs or supply components or trade something of use to me. I'm not sure id ever be keen on a commercial arrangement.

Me too, but trust me, I have enough interests that tick that box!

300BLK subsonic with Lehigh Defense Controlled Fracturing projectiles. I don't have any.

Dead eye Dicks out of Levin did a load up for a mate of mine. Nice loads.

There's someone on trademe who does it too. Forget who they are as I reload now. It'll be under ammunition section.
