I'm leaving in a few weeks for my first African safari, and I've run into a little bit of a problem. When I bought my .300 win mag last summer, I had a family friend help me work up a load to use on my trip. Since I currently don't own my own reloading equipment, my friend also handled all of the reloading - I just had to buy the dies, powder, primers, powder, etc. Unfortunately, my buddy is in the process of relocating out-of-state for a new job & cannot help me out before I leave.

I'm hoping somebody can help me out. I'm needing 28 rounds reloaded. I can provide the brass, dies, bullets, primers & powder. I will certainly pay for your services. If anybody can help me out, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Giving your location would help, then if someone was close to you they could help without shipping or a long drive. Good luck.


Maybe Today.

Just buy a couple of boxes of Federal Premium ammo (AccuBond or Partition), and don't risk the hunt of a lifetime on the ability of someone you don't know to reload.

My option.

I'd be happy to help out, BUT....I'm going out of town in a couple of weeks for a month. Won't have access to my equipment during that time. If you were local I'd have you come by and help you do it.

Kind of agree on having just anyone do it. The factory route is probably best.

Dude you are likely to be hunting dangerous game with that load. Most guys don't want that responsibility. Buy some good ammo for this trip.

If you are willing to make the drive drive to east Texas you are welcome to use my equipment. I would assist you as needed.

Thank you very much for the offer, but you're about 8-9 hours from me. That's just a little too far of a drive. Thanks again though!

If for some reason you have your mind made up on reloads, there are places that do custom reloads. I would do that way before even considering letting some Jo blo load my ammo for me

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. Found out that a co-worker's dad has a setup that he is going let me use. I'll take care of everything myself. Thanks again!
