reloaders
Those refilling cartridges
Reloaders are people who reload ammunition—assembling cartridges from component parts (brass casings, primers, powder, bullets) rather than buying factory-made rounds.
The practice saves money for high-volume shooters and allows customization for accuracy.
Reloaders also refers to the equipment used for this purpose: He picked up a progressive reloader at the gun show.
