A decode ago I was an avid LR reloader.

For a variety of reasons, I got out of it and didn't do much LR shooting either. I've recently gotten back into the shooting, but am not set up/have the time dedicated yet to reloading.

Many of these customer companies didn't exist 10 years ago, but I've been looking at copper creek cartridge co for an alternative. They have some options/test packs for initial load development (will be for a 28 Nosler) and seem to be making a quality product.

Any experience with this company or some of the other ones out there similar to it? I understand it's not cost effective, but this is a temporary fix for a season to bridge a gap until I can get back into owning the process myself.
 
I'm ordered some ammo from North American Ammunition for my 338RUM and I am more than pleased with the whole experience. I just ordered some more a few weeks ago. Give Paul a call, he is an awesome guy to talk with and I can't say enough about him and his ammo.

Do you have a friend/family that can help until you're back reloading again?
 
I would go with either a site sponsor or well known member in your area. If you have an affiliation with a club/gun range, this may give you options of meeting someone who can help as well.
 
I would give Matt Ligos a call. His number is 321 917 2003.
His avocation is reloading. Before I started reloading myself he would take my rifles, do load development, and then do reloading. SD's usually at about 6-8fps. So quite respectable.
He did this for a 6mm creed PRS rifle, a 6.5 PRC hunting rifle and a 300 PRC hunting rifle.
He's a great guy.
I shipped him the spent brass. He shipped back the rounds.
Easy, and you talk to a guy with a wealth of experience…not a big company.

Might not want to be posting phone numbers publicly with all the scammers hitting sites nowadays.

Just got some Copper Creek for my wife, 300 WSM Berger 185 VLD. Three shot 100 yds, less than 1/2". 300 yds, 1 3/8". I did not chronograph the load. Tuesday she smoked a giant pronghorn at 260 with that load, went straight down.
