[QUOTE="Rosebud, post: 2918926, member: 118066"] While I don't do it as much now, during the ammo shortage I reloaded quite a bit for guys that had been referred to me. They brought the components, or bought from me, and I'd reload their ammo doing custom load work. Have them drop off their rifles and components to work up a load that would shoot well in their rifles. Picked up a nice chunk of change doing that. But my lord, some of them were stupid, with a capital S. Almost to a person I was asked to take their rifles to the range and sight it in at 200 yards. I told them the same thing others have said, you need to shoot it for yourself before hunting. Some actually did. I'd hear back from a few saying it doesn't shoot like you said it will. I'd tell them to bring it back, and they could go to the range with me and I'd shoot it. If it doesn't shoot as I said it did I'd give you the money back. Otherwise you owe me another range fee. Only had to do that twice in four years. But most of them admitted that they just went hunting with it and thanked me for a great job. Some of them I knew well and they were very busy guys trying to establish a business and rapidly growing family. I even hunted with a couple of them They would even say, Mr. Bill took care of my rifles. I know there on the money. I'd just smile. [/QUOTE]
