Custom Load for one gun?

[JackRydden224]

I'm curious, how many of you will custom load for one gun? I'm asking because the DI 9 upper I have requires a different load then my typical Winchester 231 powder. I would need a slower burning powder. For that reason I think it's a really hard sell. Maybe the price has something to do with it as well lol!

Proprietary upper that uses one off parts, costs more than most others, AND can only use very specialized ammo?

Kinda makes it a hard sell, yea.

I custom load for numerous different guns, but can't see myself ever doing it for 9mm, when it costs me the same to load it, as it does to buy it.

...and not having sold it in 6 days doesn't exactly make it a hard sell. Yet.

I have at least 20 guns that i have a perfect recipe for. Only my 22-250 and my 300 Winchester get used regularly so that makes a big difference.

I actually only had it since saturday but I do see your point. I mean I can use the same stuff for my pistol it just takes some adjustment. At one point you realize that your custom stuff = pain in the arse.

I absolutely have pet loads reserved for single guns. Example is .308 for me... my 700 likes a little different recipe and COL than my AR 10.

And that's more complicated then the 9mm I need. I might just keep the thing. It looks like you guys so through a whole lot more for specific gun(s). If it doesn't sell in two weeks I'll just keep it.

Bulk stuff. I load near min/mid of book. Test a few and have at it.


Accuracy loads. I work up each full tests for each load and rifle. My 700 will not only have 1 pet load but 1 in 175 SMKs for LR plinking and 1 in 168gr for local sub 600 yard paper comps.
