I was given a Ruger M77 338 x 284 Wildcat by my Father in Law. He also gave me the dies and some used Brass, along with about twenty live rounds. I shot the rifle a few times last year and love it. However, I know nothing about custom loading and have no equipment or desire to start. Can anyone help me with a business that can do this for me?

If you don't want to start Reloading I would make a friend that does. You could at least learn the process that way. Then if you still have no desire to buy the equipment, you could work out some sort of deal to get your friend to load. I might try Southwest Ammunition in Mesquite. I have no idea if they will reload but they may direct you to someone that will. Many guys are stay away from loading for others due to the legal issues. Good luck....

I don't know anyone who will but I agree whit the others about doing it yourself, I got into reloading and it's a lot of fun and I find it soothing.

I understand the legal aspect of it. I found a company in the North East U.S. However, I am sure they are outrageous. I need to check with Ron's in Randlett, OK. I hear there's a chance they will do it for me.

There are several custom reloaders in Texas that would do it for you. One of them is almost always setup at the FW gunshows.
You can find some by doing a search on custom reloading Texas on the web.

Jay- Northtexasrifleprecision.com teaches reloading, working a load for your rifle, and how to shoot. Sounds like it might be worth it to learn properly

Jay would certianly be a great guy to learn from as Brother in-law suggests. If you truely have no interest in loading you own I have used some ammo before from Karl at: http://kcprecisionballistics.com/info.htmlHe will probally require your dies and load info if it was supplied to you, but give him a call he can most likely help you out.
