Since I dont reload....Im looking for someone who does who can load me some varmint loads in .280 Rem for my A-Bolt. Local shops will only order it (factory loads) for me by the case. I'n not looking for that kind of volume

If I buy the dies.....anyone interested ?

Well, I would let you come over my house and assist me and then do it yourself after I went over each step. You live near MD?

Too much risk loading for people. You would have to be part of the process of making them.

Cabelas, Midwayusa, Cheaper than dirt will mail you any amount you want.

I don't reload for others except family,but will make the same offer if you live close to me.
If you shoot any ones reloads you take a big chance of something going wrong.The safest way would be to get a reloading kit and learn to yourself.All rifles handle pressure differently.If you had a safe load allready worked out and someone reloaded the same load would probably work.
Years ago I saw a guy that had half his face missing and his right hand missing.He was in the gun shop wanting to know how to get in touch with a rem rep.I over heard him asking the owner.The owner asked him what had happened and he said that he had shot one of his nabors reloads in a 270 rem that his wife had gotten him for christmas,and it blew up in his face.The owner told him there was no use talking to the rem rep.

You might be able to get Black Hills in Rapid City, South Dakota to take on this project. As you mentioned earlier, it will likely all come down to quantity. Or go to your local gunshop and post an ad.

Thanks for the replys. I've struck out at Cabelas, Midway and Cheaper for .280 loads.

Still waiting to hear from Black hills but it not in their caliber list.

Might just have to beak down and buy another rifle !!! wouldnt THAT be a shame LOL[8D]

Either that or just "bite the bullet" (no pun intended) and start reloading.

I"™ve actually seen it at the range one time. This guy purchased reloads that were to hot for his lever action and ended up damaging his gun. For this reason I wouldn"™t reload for anyone except family as mentioned.

Nope, just a liability. there's a huge difference between being a commercial loader and seller and a guy that takes some money for supplies and makes some loads.

You got it right fi, mossy is nutty as a christmas fruit cake.
