Hellgate Reloading

Hellgate Reloading is a veteran-owned fired brass supplier based in west Missoula, deep in Montana's Hell Gate Valley. Their mission is straightforward: provide individual reloaders quality fired brass at reasonable prices—not brass companies, just shooters who reload.

They sell range-collected brass, which means mixed headstamps and variable fire counts. These cases may have minor dents, dings, slightly bent mouths, or discoloration. The reality: most of these flaws clean up during resizing or shoot out on your first firing. It's not "like new" brass—it's usable brass at a fraction of new case prices.

"As with all brass you should inspect (to include fire hole), die resize, and trim for proper length prior to loading."

They stock the everyday pistol rounds:

• •9MM Luger ($25 brass, $30 nickel per 200)
• •45 ACP (both small and large primer, $25 per 150)
