Everyone should buy ammo from Custom Reloading

I've was looking for bulk ammo to help offset the costs. I am new to pistol shooting and needed a lot of practice to get up to snuff. The local stores scoffed at me when I asked about a discount on bulk order of 2000 .40 180 gr round. Best deal I could get is 1$ off every box, for a savings of $40. I had shot a few boxes of Custom Reloading Services at the range with good success. I decided to contact them directly.

Within a day, I got a reply back with a price that saved me a lot of money. From .40 cents a shot to .32 cents a shot including shipping from BC to Alberta. That price can not be beat.

The boxes were sent so quickly I thought they sent them without being paid first! Excellent packaging, arrived intact exactly as ordered. Only took 2 or 3 days.

For anyone scared of buying ammo that dosent have fancy labeling and crap on it, I took a few pictures. My Glock 22 has 2500ish rounds through it, 2300 of which are made by Custom Reloading Services. I have never had a stoppage. Every primer is struck, casings are not deformed, no odd abrasions on the pistol or any component. I've taken a bunch of pictures of the casings, primers and few components of the pistol. The casings in these pictures are the last few hundred. If anyone would like more pictures of ammo or a specific component, let me know.

I just submitted another order for 1000 today. Best price, best service, best product. Could not be happier.
 
I'm interested, but I'm a little nervous about Quality Control. Has anyone had any negative experiences with this reloaded ammo?

If a person has had a bad experience and dosen't want to broadcast it please PM me. I am just wondering from a safety point of view.
Thanks

I've taken a personal tour of the facilities and how things work in their shop. Quality is a strong point for Brad and John when it comes to components for reloading and their reloaded products. When you use Camdex presses and Dillon 1050's generally things are going to be very good. They also supply components and ammunition to IPSC and other events so if that says anything I think it speaks for itself.
The systems the Camdex presses use are automated but very precise. Low powder warnings, primer warning, primer pocket swager and ect on the machines ensure that nothing is missed and the same with the Dillon 1050's so it would be hard to screw something up unless it was intentional.

I felt like a kid in a candy store walking around all those machines and components. Got to pick up more supplies soon as I seem to burn through bullets faster than I can make them... maybe time to upgrade to a 650xl.
 
So do you have to return the brass? and is it an initial cost with the first order, and then it's a cheaper price when you return the brass?
Good prices? anyone have a "ball park" for shipping to ON?

-If you return the brass , You will not get a discount. What you will get is, When there is an ammo or component shortage.
our First priority to always have ammo available to you. even if it is out of stock.
We keep ammunition on hand for these people when they ask because they return the brass to us, even if it says out of stock on our web site.
Ammunition consistancy is what some people value(Same Bullet and Load and Price every time)

-Shipping can go up and down a bit or alot due to the fuel surcharge at the time. PM me with your order and
I will quote you shipping at that time. I will require quantitys and a postal code. A shipping quote will only be
good for that week. Orders over a week in waiting will have to be recalculated.

Thank You

I have run through thousands of rounds of their 45acp and 9mm. Also working my way through some of their 44mag and 45 Long Colt. So far, have only had a problem with 1 round - a 44mag. Primer was not fully seated and would not allow the cylinder in my super Blackhawk to rotate.

Otherwise excellent quality products at great prices. I buy most of my pistol caliber ammo from them.

I was a bit nervous at first and bought only 500 rounds..... 3000 rounds later, still using their reloads..... no issues with their reloads.
 
40 S&W ammo "From .40 cents a shot to .32 cents a shot.." ($400 to $320 per case) for reloads is not all that great.
In fact I can find factory ammo for a lower price in the GTA ,no shipping though.
 
Those are decent looking prices. May end up getting some .45ACP next time I head down there.
 
I just received my first shipment from them.No one locally has bulk bullets and I needed some 357 brass for my new baby. Excellent guys to do business with. Will definitely be purchasing from them again.
 
Great for reloading supplies. Only minor appointment (if you can call it that) was picked up over a grand of supplies early last Dec just before their XMas sale. Their prices are hard to beat, stock up, then laugh at the ammo shortage.
 
Funny reading this thread because I've been on the fence regarding updating my reloading press and gear. Looking attheir prices of $117 per 500 rounds of 9mm, I am having a hard time making the decision to invest in more reloading gear when the savings are not that big when looking at 9mm.

So I can pick up 1000 rounds of reloaded 9mm for $234... taxes $28.08...shipping roughly $20.00 so my all in on 1000 rounds is $282.08

No if I want to relaod 9mm
$99 for 1000 Berry bullets
$40 for 1000 primers
$40 for a 1lb opf powder
$181...taxes $21.72...shipping say $20.00 so my all in is $222.72

So my savings over 1000 rounds is $59.36...over 5000 rounds thats a difference of $296.80

So factoring in my upgraded press and gear of around $800 its going to take roughly 3 years to pay itself off...just the gear...and I'm still sitting in front of the press using up my time. I'm thinking for 5000 rounds a year my time reloading is worth more then $300.

Now with my son wanting to get into the game the cost is going to go up...so I'm really on the fence here. It would be nice to just order up 5000 rounds of quality 9mm reloaded ammo...Damn I'm seriously over thinking this...

I was fighting the same thing when I started to order from these guys. And at their prices, Im not sure if I will reload 9mm, but still nice to be set up for others.(if you shoot other calibers) Great ammo from these guys, and always great to deal with.
