Just getting started at it. I have 100 brass ready to go and may put together some test loads later today.

Gen Lee,
I shoot and reload for the Grendel. What is it you need to know. I shoot out of PMRPC in Brevard county. Use mine for both competition and hunting.

I'm interested in the reloading but don't have the room; I was looking to do some horse trading were I provide bullets and brass and for example every 4 rounds that you re-load I get one of them or something like that.

I'm going 6.5 Creedmoor for Deer this season, any recommendations for loads as I'm not very familiar with it yet. XBolt 22" crowned

I've gotten some pretty good results with hornaday 140 gn hunting bullets. Nice velocity with 4O.0 gn of H4350, about 2650fps

Gen Lee,
At this time I do not reload for anyone else, too many variables. Sorry. If it's info you need, I will answer to best of my knowledge.

You can set up to reload without taking up much room. Do it all the time in my little shack at hunting camp. Look at a Lee hand press. They work fine and are pretty inexpensive, just take a little getting used to, and not the fastest.

General ,

I just picked up a couple lee presses, one of them is mounted to a board that you could clamp to a table, super cheap, let me get you some pics, all you'd have to do is buy the dies

OK, thanks; kind of interested, also have a lot on my plate...I may just hold on my brass or horse trade for something else.
