Reloading Ammunition
At R Macleod & Sons, we supply an extensive selection of reloading ammunition components and tools to support rifle and shotgun shooters who prefer to load their own rounds. Reloading your own ammunition offers greater control over consistency, accuracy, and cost—especially for those who shoot frequently or need a specific load to match their firearm and intended use.
Whether you're a seasoned reloader or just starting out, our range includes everything you need to produce safe, reliable, and consistent cartridges at home or in your workshop.
Why Reload?
Many experienced shooters reload to achieve better performance and more flexibility than is possible with factory ammunition. Benefits of reloading include:
·Improved accuracy – tailor your load to your rifle for tighter groupings
·Cost savings – particularly for high-volume shooters
·Custom loads – adjust bullet type, powder charge, and seating depth for specific purposes
·Reduced waste – by reusing brass cases
From deer stalking and vermin control to benchrest and target shooting, handloading lets you fine-tune each round to suit your rifle and application.
Our Reloading Range
We stock a full range of reloading components and equipment across the following categories:
Our bullet selection covers a wide variety of calibres and types, including soft point, hollow point, polymer tipped, lead-free, and match-grade designs. We supply trusted brands such as Hornady, Sierra, Barnes, and Nosler—giving you performance and reliability shot after shot.
Quality brass is essential for safe and consistent reloading. We offer cases from Lapua, Hornady, Norma, PPU, and others across popular calibres such as .223 Rem, .243 Win, .308 Win, .30-06, and 6.5 Creedmoor.
We stock a range of reloading powders for rifles and shotguns, including options from Vihtavuori, Reload Swiss, and Hodgdon. Please note that powders are collection-only, due to UK transport regulations.
Primers
A reliable ignition source is critical to safe ammunition. We supply large rifle, small rifle, and magnum primers from leading names like CCI and Federal, subject to availability and FAC conditions.
We also carry selected factory shotgun cartridges for a range of field and clay shooting disciplines, including game loads and steel options where lead is restricted.
