I was wondering if anyone knew of a good outfit that custom loads large rifle ammo.
I was disappointed to read that the folks at Colorado Custom Cartridge are winding down their business and I don’t know who custom loads odd/obsolete large rifle ammo anymore.

I have some old rifles I would like to get some ammo for and any NOS/factory ammo would probably be so it old it would only hang fire or not go off.

Just an example, I am looking for 500 nitro for black, 450/400 2 3/8”, 450 bpe or nitro for black, and a few obsolete Rook rifle calibers. Probably some large sharps and Winchester calibers as well, just to name a few.

I don’t reload anymore and would love to find a new source for quality custom loads for some old antique rifles.
Thanks for any leads or advice, Aron
 

Call Safari Arms. They should able to load what you want. I had them load some 500/465NE. They are helpful to talk things through with you on what you are trying to accomplish, how to choose best load, etc...
 
Thank you gentlemen for the input. I remember OWS had a good stock of obsolete/oddball calibers some years back. Unfortunately their website doesn’t show much variety of ammo anymore.
I emailed safari arms, I’m hoping they maybe able to accommodate if I could supply the brass.
I will get a hold of Hendershots as well. I have some 500 and 458 ammo from them and it is top quality.
I don’t mind making a large quantity order to make it worth their time. Hopefully I find an outfit willing to accommodate.
Thanks again for the pointers
 
I’ll second both Safari Arms and Hendershots. I have had dealing with both and have been impressed with their professionalism and the quality of the ammo. Good luck on finding what you need.
 
Hate to show my lack of staying abreast of info but when did Superior Ammo close?
They loaded for me in years gone by when I had my first Lott built.
 
1) Hendershots
2) Superior Ammo
3) Mr. John LaSala

Saw a good looking knife you posted a pic of with the watermelon. Can I ask the make? Looks like you hunted with Guav Johnson? We overlapped in the Save once. Would like to hunt with him one day..
