[QUOTE="Tumbleweed, post: 2394757, member: 9281"] I've been helping out friends with rifle set up, load development and custom ammunition for years. Up until 2 years ago, I had a range on the property that I could use so there was really no fuel costs or travel associated with load work. It was simpler then. Now, I'm about 20 minutes from my 100 yard range (still not bad) but there is fuel and extra time for me to consider with these trips. I have them supply all reloading components and I generally already have the tooling to do the loading. I have to charge, or it's costing me money. I do really enjoy it but when you allow yourself to be taken advantage of, it doesn't feel good. For those who believe in squeezing the best out of a rifle system and ammunition, you know how much time can be involved to do it right. I would certainly not expect a friend to take on something with a time commitment similar to this for me and do it for absolutely nothing. So, complete load development and providing them with 50 or so rounds of perfect ammunition has been running $300-$350. This has typically included bedding scope rails and mounting optics. I think that's very fair. [/QUOTE]
