WTB Wanted: a reloader in S. Nevada (Henderson)

[poprivit]

I need to have some ammo loaded - 450/400 Nitro Express.

I have bullets, cases, and dies - that's all.

I need 80 rounds loaded.

Are you asking to use someone's press or for someone to load them for you?

If you just need a press, i have a lee single stage if you have a place to mount it (possibly a 4x4 and a vice would work) I can probably drop it off for a few hours and you can roll your own.

Is it a double rifle regulated for a very specific powder and charge? I'm doing some research on the loading data to see if I have an otherwise suitable powder.

 

[poprivit]

I used to own a Westley Richards 450/400 3" double rifle, but it got lost in a divorce,

Now I have a Ruger #1 in the same caliber, and I need some rounds loaded. I only have the dies and shell holder, so for me to borrow a press won't help. Considering the dearth of elephants in Nevada, I don't think I'll be shooting the #1 very often. 80 rounds will probably last me for the next 20 years.
I've got loading data if needed. Either Hogdon H4831 for Hornady DGS, or IMR 4007SSC for Barnes banded solids. I have both bullets

 

[gixxer760]

you have any data for h1000 or RL 15 i think i have quite a bit of those 2 and it seems like there3 was load data. If no one is willing to load for you, id be willing to sell some powder and primers at near cost (what I bought them for not todays price) and let you do your thing.

I only say the loan because I don't believe it is legal for me to load ammo for others without an FFL but others may be able to correct me if that is not correct.

 

[poprivit]

Here's what I have.

I'll make them, but the only powder I have on that list is H4350. If you prefer a different powder, we'd have to try to find it. I'm sure we can come to an equitable arrangement. If we use a powder and load you've not done before, we'll make them at the starting load side of the data. It's not like you are looking for the BIGGEST elephant in Nevada.

 

[poprivit]

Due to the large case, I'd want to go with H4831 to get a better fill. Are you in the position to procure that powder? If not, I can get a pound of it.

Before we get too deep into this, we should talk a bit.

We do have the biggest elephants ass in Carson City though!

There's a couple of elephants, but they are not roaming about:
