RE: Which calibers to you reload for?
DM & cma3366a,
Thanks for finding the old thread, and I appologize for being redundant.
I read the other thread, and there was some discussion about reloading for friends. Here's what I do.
If my friends want me to load for them, instead of doing it for them, I invite them over to load their own ammo. I walk them through the processes, but they do all the work. They buy their own components, and I supply instructions and the use of my equipment. A few have been hooked, and have bought their own equipment. Others are really appreciative, and come over once a year to load ammo with me. It's been a good thing, and I've never had anyone blame for bad loads, losing game, etc.
Is there anything wrong with what I'm doing, in the legal sense?

ShatoDavis,
Impressive list of calibers! A friend is starting to load for his .338 RUM. What powder have you gotten the best results with? He wants to use IMR 4350, but I thought a slower powder might be better. What do you use?

cma, you did good, thankyou!!

I believe Alliant R22 gave us the best results behind Nosler 225 gr. Partitions. I will consult our notes and confirm.

RE: Which calibers to you reload for?
Just getting back into reloading this year. The 204 ruger is my passion at present. And the little 17 HM2 & 17 HMRI suppose are responsible for getting me back into the shooting game. Just love the ability to reach out & shoot flys at 125 yards w a low recoil firearm.
204 ruger
223 rem
22-250
6mm rem
270 win
30-06
suppose one could say, I reload for archery as well as I enjoy building my own arrows
