Reloading for others.

It could be a tax exempt charity with 90% overhead.

I am not a fan at all of most foundations/charities, but you realize that alot of a certain foundations overhead pays the workers who actually do the Charity work. An example is a foundation sending 150 people to rebuild a town in some 3rd world coutry. Those workers fall under the foundations overhead because the foundation employs them. It's actually cheaper and more efficient than sending the money to yet another charity that has its own overhead. Now, please don't get me wrong and take this as my support for any particular person next year. I find extreme disgust with most thieving politicians, but if we are going to ever to change this country then we have to honest about stuff.

Please don't ask me where I got my info from, because I don't remember which Fox News show I saw it on. It was not stated by a guest though, it was one of the host I think.

That was a very funny Post though

On our ranch the #1 rule is 'NEVER shoot someone else's reloads'. Just because a guy can buy a press and some components does not mean he is an expert. My cousin just broke the locking lugs in his rem 700 22-250 and we have been reloading since we were kids. You can argue the legality of it all day, but why would you take the chance with cartridges that you don't really know how they were put together? Just my $.02

At my ranch we have this rule: thou shalt not fire factory ammo... xcept .22 rimfire.

At my ranch... oh wait... I'm just a pleb...

How about letting friends load on your equipment?

[ultracovert]

My equipment is available to all friends and Family. We dont shoot much factory ammo around here either. At least if i blow up a gun i know who to blame. If someone else has an accident i know it is not my fault. I was just trying to convey that it is not a good idea to shoot others reloads. Especially if you dont know how much experience or how careful they are.

This is all funny because my sister wants me to make her 10k 9mm rounds for her... Or something like that.

A favor one says. Please define "Favor". Usually if I ask a favor it is an insignificant thing. For example when you are at the local Gs pick me up something. that would be a favor. As for loading up 180 rounds of lets say 7mm for someone, I did not know. Lets see. Time shopping for components, cleaning the brass. Prepping the brass then researching a load and time at the bench would only be about 5 to 6 hours of time. That's a pretty heavy duty favor for a complete stranger who might just sue me out of house and home should I make a mistake in the performance of said favor. Heck I like the thought of that, perhaps a mechanic could do me a favor and change that rear leaking seal on my truck.


I could make a list of folks whom I have helped to learn to reload. I am not shy for doing a friend a favor. If the OP wants to learn the hobby I could spare some time as a FAVOR. As an NRA Certified Reloading Instructor I stand by the statement of never reload for friends or for money with out proper licensing and insurance. This is what I tell my students. It is not a do as I say not as I do type of thing. Yes, I do know some whom load for others for a fee and I will not condone or support their endeavors.

To the OP sorry if I seemed rude. It was just that the dog was not in the room for me to kick so I took it out on you. Yeah that was it.

Stilley. Cool link to Ten-X.

BigBronco is one of the nicest fellows I have ever met. No kidding. He gives so much to OC and other reloading clinics. You have no idea what this fellow and others like him have done.

So - OP, the truth is hard to accept, and you didn't do your homework before posting this thread. And you are crapping on the wrong folks. You CANNOT sell reloads without the proper state paperwork/insurance.

They have told it like it is.
