I'm trying to take better pictures for my website, because the ones I have right now make me sad.


What I need is someone who make their own ammo. I just need to borrow some loaded rounds and components to use to take pictures of them in the loading blocks I make.


I can't have just *any* ammo though. I need someone who is very meticulous and puts out "show quality" mirror-finished ammo. I know there's guys out there who do it.

Right now I only own one rifle but I have nothing made for it and I don't think I'll be loading anything any time soon... no scope for the rifle so no way to really shoot it. Plus I want a larger round than a .223 for the pictures.


Here's an outline of requirements:

A common, larger rifle cal, like a .260, .308, .30-06, WSM, etc.

50 rounds loaded, 50 bullets, and 50pcs of empty brass, all looking like they're mirror polished, no fingerprints, marks, staining, etc. So ideally SS media tumbled.

I need to borrow them for probably about a week. I'd be glad to show you my ID, FOID, and leave a cash deposit with you until you get the items back.



Compensation would be a free 50rd loading block/range tray of your choice, delivered upon completion of photography, a $35 value.




If anyone is interested in this offer, please let me know and we can work out a time to meet perhaps this week.


Thanks very much!

Tom

Not able to help you out due to location, would infringe a whole lot of laws.
But if you don't get a proper answer here or on the other forum.
Some of the Local F-Class or BR guys are the most likely place to come over shiny and well prepped brass.
