I hope no one PM'ed you on this. Reloads are meant to be worked up through your firearm. If you don't have the time or patience to do your own then you shouldn't shoot reloads through your firearm!
 
Teapot The factory stuff is good but it is expensive and underpowered and I just want to have a little bit of fun experimentation. [/QUOTE said:
Never buy reloaded ammo from an unknown source!!!! I know of two guys that lost parts of their hands and faces buying reloads from an unknown vendor and a gun show twenty years ago. Factory ammo is load to SAMI specs and the maximum safe pressure levels. I've never bought a box of factory ammo that was under powered, unless they were designed as a reduced load.

Half the fun of reloading is working up a safe load for "your gun". If you don't have the time or patience to learn how to safey reload, then stick with factory loads before you blow up your TEA CUP!

I would suggest having a knowledgeable reloader teach you how to properly & safely work up a load for your rifle when you have the time to spare!
 
i wont even shoot someones reloads at the range. ive had people ask me if id like to but i declined and they thought i was scared of the recoil lol. then i brought out the 375 h&h :)

but serioulsy better safe then sorry! u never no what frame of mind someone was in when they made the loads and if they read the wrong loads or missed a warning sign on brass . who knows!

good luck!

Understood. Nobody has PM'd. My thought was to get the rifle to the range where the bore could be slugged and appropriate bullets used in the re-loading process. I was hopeing there was someone in the Hamilton area who had a Guide Gun and reloaded for it.
I don't know how much free time I have left before my course so I guess I'll just have to bite the bullet so to speak and buy the "For use in all rifles" rounds.

Thanks for the warning guys. It is appreciated.
