Thread: Does anyone know someone who professionally finds the right reloading round for rifle

I am used to loading for "volume" rather than accuracy. When I brought my new bolt action last year I was forced to take a good hard look at my reloading proceedures as they are quite different. Previously All I cared about was a load accurate enough to hit a 6 inch plate or 1/2 sized IPSC "popper" and that would not jam.
I used once fired brass and tossed it after 2 reloads. loaded 3-400 per hour on my Dillon
Now I have gone the other way with a wildcat 6.5 and load small volume weighing each charge individually, cases are prep'ed to within an inch of their lives and I finally have a load which I am confident in and at the same time (while developing it) got a lot of trigger time with my gun so confident with it too
Experience and skill cannot be brought but must be developed eh

Shouldn't that read, "cases prep'ed to within 1/1000 of an inch of their lives..." !!!

Load development can take a lot of time to get right on some rifles, so if you are paying someone to do it for you professionally be prepared to pay a realistic hourly rate at least for their time, plus component costs. Guy should also have insurance and ideally be a licensed ammunition manufacturer. Liability is a huge issue with ammo loading. Otherwise as mikee suggests, be prepared to learn a bit and eventually do it yourself when you are ready.
