After moving back from Alabama where Core-Lokt bullets were sufficient for the 5-50 yard shots I was taking on miniature whitetails, I am really interested in purchasing ammunition loaded with the standard Nosler Accubonds for my 7mm mag (not the new Long Range Accubonds). I have heard great things about them from friends who use them - however, I am having a lot of trouble finding any Accubond loads for the 7mm. Federal used to load them, but discontinued them a few years back about the time I was getting interested in them. Sportsman's Warehouse carries a few boxes of Nosler brand now and again, but while I am a strong supporter of Sportsman's, I just can't bring myself to spend $60 for a box of ammo - especially since I don't know how my Model 700 will like them. Midway USA sells Nosler brand for a little cheaper but with shipping, it still comes out to $60. So - the question is: does anyone know of a store in western or southern Washington that sells reloads at a reasonable price and would be willing to load 7mm mag rounds with Accubonds? I have never gone down this route before (always bought factory ammo), so I am probably ignorant on the whole subject of purchasing reloads. Alternately, are there any members on here that are interested in selling reloads and are reputable reloaders? I have plenty of brass rounds that I can contribute to help offset the cost if necessary or throw in as an incentive. As most people will caution, I realize that I need to be careful who I buy reloads from for safety's sake. I would love to just reload them myself, but I am not at the point yet where I can start this up and I don't shoot enough now to make the initial startup cost worth it. Thanks in advance for any advice! Any Accubond stories would also be appreciated!
