I love custom rifles and own several. While I do reload, to me, it’s mostly a means to an end as I enjoy shooting somewhat obscure calibers (6.5 Swede, .358win, .300 Sav, etc.) and I live in California where it’s hard to buy ammo off the shelf. I really don’t enjoy the experimentation and load development aspect. It’s not convenient for me to get to a range to do a lot of testing, so I find it a bit tedious.
That said, I would love my next custom build to be completed and arrive at my FFL with a proven load recipe. Is there a trusted and vetted custom hunting rifle builder out there who will also do load development and deliver the final product with a tested safe and accurate load recipe? I’d gladly pay expenses and a reasonable fee for this additional service.
Thanks.

McWhorter does this and gives the recipe with the ammo. They matched it to a custom dial on a Swaro as well.

Yup, Kevin will do it if you ask him. He usually proofs his rifles with a load you could copy and hunt with anyhow. Most of the time he’ll write the load data on the target.

Hill Country Rifles will send a test target shot with factory ammo. I know they will shoot other factory rounds or do load development for a fee. They should be a notch under Jarret/McWhorter in price but still aren’t close to cheap

Sisk outside of Houston, not sure if he is doing the load work still but worth a call. I have been lucky for the most part by using a good barrel and smith almost any sort of generic accuracy load will shoot.
