I don't think they do reloading, but @ 3000 fps w/140 Accubonds the Nosler Trophy stuff is dang hard to beat! MSRP $46.  I know they use to do custom loading as well, but I'm pretty sure that was done with Nosler components. 

Nosler has standard offerings for the 280AI too!  I think that buys you another 150 fps.

I have a .280 barrel for my Encore. Shooting the Hornady Superformance stuff it shoots great but kicks like a dang mule. Much harder than with the .300wm barrel but the 300 setup is 1.5# heavier.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I second this opinion,  you won't really improve much on velocity and getting the Nosler ammo will be quicker and easier than components and finding a person to load for you.

This is my fault.  Someone says .280 and my wallet starts to open up on its own!  Sorry.   :chuckle:

Hey hi how you guys doin love talk going on here but um yeah still lookin for a reloader just sayin lol

But really if you guys are gonna talk about recoil then you only are talking about a very small part of the 280, look at your BC for almost any grain of the 280 compard to another caliber bang for you buck your getting for the most part the best out of 280. Not saying there isnt better but its imho one the most underrated bullet and yes factory 280 does kick less no matter what cuz it is loaded so light thru out the entire range of the grains of bullets. Hence why im looking for another custom loading company... You know the reason i started the thread  :dunno:

I think there were some guys in downtown Kennewick (or maybe Big Pasco?) that were doing custom ammo loading as a business but I haven't heard anything about it for quite some time. Check the local gun shops, surely they would know if these guys are still in business.

Cheers!

There is an old RCBS press on CL right now.  It's old but it will do the job just fine.  For about $100 or so you could be set up.  He wants $60 for the press but I would offer him $25 (it's not worth $60), he has had it on there forever.  You can use once fired brass from your rifle, just wipe them off, load them, and cycle them in your action to make sure they will cycle smooth.  Use new brass if you want, they will be buttery smooth.  You can get a scale for $30 or so.  Dies $35.  A sleeve of primers $3.50.

I know it's not what you want but I can't imagine there are many (legal) custom reloaders.  I searched and really couldn't find anything.

Superformance ammo is a good suggestion by Jackelope. 

If you're after faster velocity than other factory ammo, then that is probably your best option.  Of course, you'll have to wait until sometime next spring to see if they shoot well in your rifle..........but then you'd likely have to wait a long time if you find someone to do custom loads since bullets and powder are so hard to find right now.
