    Load development

    HEy long shot here but wondered if anyone would be keen on doing some load development for me, Im new to reloading and in the middle of calving 1200 cows with 3 people so times not real handy.
    Preferably local to southland or south otago. I will provide everything and am happy to pay cash or beersies. Cals are 22-250 and 6.5x284. Could also maybe sus out some private land hunting but wont be till late spring.

    I could help you out.
    Although I'm not exactly local, don't have any experience with either cal.
    But I'm sure we can find some info around the place.
    What projectiles are you planning on using?

    Yeah fair enough. If you have a heap of them, might as well.
    That's a pretty good offer by kidmac if you haven't already got dies. Ashford it should make development quicker with past experience
