As a guy who does an endless amount of reloading for other people, I'd echo what leo said. I'd also add that I'd never load a recipe that wasn't one that I personally worked up or that someone I trust had worked up :twocents:
Agreed.
If I were to load ammo for somebody I didn't know, and didn't have access to the rifle to work the load up in.....the guy would only be getting minimum book starting loads...… Which you're better off buying factory ammo. And for the higher prices of a custom loading, might as well just buy the Nosler factory ammo currently sitting in stock at Midway.....

As for being less expensive, by the time you bought powder, primers, 100pcs of brass, dies, bullets, and an ammo box you are gonna be into it pretty close to $160. Reloading eventually pays off but initial setup is quite costly :twocents:

I always say you never save money reloading. You just shoot more:yeah:
I have reloaded ammo for a few friends and family .But I'm very limited to who I might reload. And when I have its at min charge to the reloading book .So your not getting anything special.

Academy Sports has Federal V-Max for $19+ a box of fifty, that would be the rout I would take.
Definitely not in 222 magnum

Here you go, $25 per box.
I’ve spent a lot of time helping guys who don’t reload, load their own ammo. I just have them come by and I help them load up some low end charges using my press. I had a 222 Rem Mag for a little while and it’s a very forgiving round to load for, so you can usually get good results with just a starting charge.
And just to make it fun, you can form cases from 204 Ruger brasss! Properly head stamped brass is lame! :chuckle:

Thank you that's the best price so far. For right now I got really lucky a guy at a gun show had boxes for 20$ I bought the only 2 he had left and he even gave me 20 back when I donated him the boxes of regular 222 I had boughton before he realized what rifel he had. So it all worked out. If he wants more I will tell him that link and we will go from there. I would love to learn to reload and in due time i will but for now I just dont have a place to even do it. Thank you all for the info you have shared.
