Reloading Service I Could Send Brass To?

[alanzhou1007]

Hi,

I have a bunch of 308 Win and 338 Lapua Mag brass that I've collected and I want to get these reloaded. I was wondering if any of you know of a local reloader in SoCal (or anywhere) that could take my fireformed brass and reload them for more consistent groups?

I've tried to find some reloaders out of state:

Clay's Cartridge Company
Unknown Munitions
Custom Reloads of Dallas

but they only reload virgin brass (for insurance purposes), or are a little sketchy in terms of customer service.

Thanks!

In order to find the load that your specific gun likes the best, you have to do testing.
There are places that you could send your gun and the brass and they will develop a load, but it's going to be on-par or more expensive than factory ammo as it's quite labor intensive.

What you really should do is get the tools and learn to reload and then do it yourself.

If I understand your question correctly, you're looking for a person or business that will make ammo for you, you provide the brass while they provide everything else.

For practical purposes, that's a NO. No reasonable reloader will accept your brass, then use up their components to make up some ammo, then sell them to you for less than commercial ammo (because let's face it, if you're asking this question it's because you want to get accurate ammo that's cheaper than store prices) while they assume the potential liability if something goes wrong.

For impractical purposes, there are boutique licensed ammo manufacturers that will develop a custom load for you. But they'll provide all the components (at your cost) and it won't be cheap. Then there's the added cost of transferring the ammo via FFL, since as a legit business they're not going to risk their license and break any laws for you.

Now there's always the potential for some *wink wink nudge nudge* agreement with Joebob who has a side hustle from his Uber day job, and he could make up a batch for you as soon as his prosthetic arm comes in, but if you go that route, then wow. Actually if you go that route, film your first shot on youtube, people always like to watch vids of when things go wrong.

The lone effect of fireformed brass is rather insignificant in the accuracy department.

Just sell your brass and buy new ammo you like.

I’ve done plenty of 308 and 338 reloads with great success. Tight groupings. Consistent speeds etc. Will I help you out??? Won’t be cheap. It will be a better idea to get yourself a reloading press and do your own load development. There’s a lot that goes into it other than someone reloading fire formed brass. If your looking for a simple recipe to get a decent grouping then stick to factory ammo. There is plenty of good ammo out there that will get you sub moa at 100. Well depending on your rifle set up of course.

Feel free to message me. I can give your diff options if you’re looking to reload your own brass. You don’t need a fancy press either.
