[flashpan]

OK I admit it ... I'm slow and don't get it. Why folks looking to buy reloads now. Taking to CA or ?
And I don't know any sites that allow re-load sales. but I did mention I'm slow.

I thought manufacturing ammo and selling without a license was bad juju. Didn't that guy who sold the reloads to the Las Vegas shooter get in some hot water?

If selling as a business to make profit.

Reloads are a grey area.

ATF #1:
Is a person who reloads ammunition required to be licensed as a manufacturer? | Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives

"For livelihood"

The main issue with buying an individuals reloads is the "what if" and having no recourse of the ammo blows up your pistol or rifle.

Somebody who is in the business to do so, under a mfg of ammo license carries insurance for the oopsies

You better bet if you made ammo for someone and it damaged their gun or hurt them or someone else, you'd be toast in court.

Perhaps they are talking about remanufactured? Unless they are looking for custom loads -- there are companies that do that, will even tune to your rifle, but those services aren't cheap.

Trolling for illegal activity?

I did it legally for years with the special FFL and it was great however, insurance went through the roof WHEN you can find someone that will actually insure you. Most just want some 'umbrella policy'. Then there's always the guys that say "I got a squib load and fired a second one to clear it so buy me a new firearm". Always fun.

Someone is a silly git if they're looking to buy reloads is what's up.

All I'm going to say is Tommy Chong went to jail for a year because the DEA got a guy hired on as a worker at his glass shop that knowingly sent a glass pipe across a certain state line after they repeatedly tried to get his son who was in charge of the shop to do so and he wouldn't do it knowing it was illegal.


If you want to make, I don't know just pulling a number from nowhere..., 2000 rounds and ship them then you best be damn sure you made enough profit to pay for legal fees if you have too.

Sheesh, I can barely keep my own shooting fetish fed. I will however show you the ropes and you can have at her.

I can't imagine wanting to buy Joe Bob's reloads for the life of me but I admit to buying from established businesses from time to time. Wouldn't intentionally seek them out, though...

 

[Heyjoe]

I've got a handful of suspected reloads acquired through various means.

I'll never shoot them and would be happy to be rid of them, honestly.

Whatever floats your boat, it's your boat to float.

Don't see any reason someone would specifically seek out common caliber reloads.
A guy could buy preowned factory loads easier if he was doing somthing nefarious.
The anti's reply to for sale ads but are usualy easy to spot. They think anyone
Will commit felonys for 50 bucks . And have no problem in screwing the one unlucky bastard that wasn't up on current laws or trying to be a nice person.

The reality is that people looking for remanufacted ammo are not reloaders. They fall generally into two classes.

First: More bang for the buck. Cheaper than what the new manufacturers offer for just shooting fun. Generally purchased at you local sporting goods store.

Second: What I specialized in, special purpose or obsolete stuff. You want to shoot dad's 6mm Lee or Bob's 401 Self-loader. Then there's that 455 Webley sitting in a box you think you can NEVER hear it go boom.
How about that 38 ACP... Still looks good but good luck getting ammo. Should he just use the Super???
