    I would be concerned about firing someone elses handloads without knowing whats in them. Maybe start with some factory loads for initial sight in and pull the handloads down

    Rivers to ranges offer a sight in service for a fee, however my understanding is they won't shoot handloads as it's too risky trusting unknown handloads (cold be wrong and happy to be corrected)
