Anyone ever shot his stuff?

 

Taking a box of it to BH tomorrow to see how it performs. If it's good I may go back to him.

John seems to know what he is doing. How much does he charge? I know some of the 2x4 match participants stopped by there.

He charged me a little over 12 for 50 rnds although the box said 13.95. He said it's cheaper if you bring him brass, too. It was his last box; he was making more but I didn't stick around for them. They were 220gr round nose-- he also makes SWC and flat point.

 

The ammo felt pretty consistent and was accurate enough for me. Somewhat dirty and smoky. Would buy again.

 

Edit: FYI price quoted is for .45 ACP so it's a pretty good deal

is there any other place (preferably in Central Jersey) that offers reloading services?

 

I collect my used brass but do not reload (yet).

I've been asking around at gun shops trying to find anyone who will do it. I will let you know if I find one closer to central NJ.

Tinyboy had someone reloading for him I think in Aberdeen maybe. Maks may be able to frind out.

Please do... it pains me everytime I shell out over 25 bucks for a box of 45 acp's. :cry:

Big bullets, big boom, big bucks.

Guy is in Middletown maybe Lunker knows who it is.

Sorry don't know. Any other Middletown folks on the board?

Franks Reloading Service. He has a small sign on the side of the rt 36 W, he has a small shed looking building next to his house I guess where he builds Wood Signs. I've never met him personally, I just pass his place at least twice a day.

check cabelas, link above... or aim surplus had 45 acp for $16.95.

 

I do not know who tiny used before, the loads seemed ok.

 

Honestly, if you shoot alot, invest $500 in yourself, get a press and learn to reload. plenty of folks will show you how.

Do you know why cabela's doesn't ask for anything (FID stuff) when ordering ammo online but aim surplus does?

CYA?

I've spoken with Frank. I don't think he is doing much reloading these days. About a year ago, during the primer shortages, I stopped by to see if he had any supplies. He didn't, and asked me to let him know if I found any. He told me that his reloading business had fallen off and that he hadn't made any rounds for anyone lately.

too bad... that means I have to start a new "hobby", reloading :doh:
