anyone selling their reload/handload?

[Oldnoob]

just wondering especially in LA/OC area. since the price of ammo is going up, does anyone start to sell their reload/handload as side job?

or if you don't reload, will you considering buy handload from someone who make them out of their basement?

Not sure if there are any additional California laws to worry about, but selling handloads is definitely a federal no-no (without a license).

Would it be worth getting a license to sell handloads? Considering the liability issue, probably not....

THis is a VERY touchy subject, I reload, will i shoot someone elses reloads?... In a Pistol, no, rifle, sure, IF i know them and know they have a clue what is what, only one man's reloads I have shot, but another guy passed away i got some of his reloads, Either way test the velocity and ensure your comfortable with them.
Check the COL / even pull a few down and weight the charge, be cautious, and remember you take the risk of ruining your firearm when you use a mystery round, like sex without a condom, she said she's clean, but do you trust her? NO ahahah

I would think that if you wanted to buy someone else's reloads that you would rather get into reloading your own ammo instead.

Usually, it's not a good idea to use someone else's reload. You do not the exact load information. It could be too light or too hot, so that it can possibly damage the firearm or even cause physical harms to the shooter.

Also, it's not a good idea to sell you reload because of liability issues.

Just my two cents.

[What Just Happened?]

You could try buying reloads from Miwall's or Ammo Bros at the gunshows, if you're wanting to save some money. Just do keep in mind that peoples' results with them have varied greatly. I've been okay with Miwall's 9mm reloads and a friend of mine has as well. But some haven't done so well with them.

I don't like shooting someone else's reloads. I have a batch of 223 ammo I reloaded that has been proven safe with my 16" DPMS upper, but I get high pressure signs when shot with my Bushmaster 20" upper. I get primers popping out. I don't think it's the case of the 5.56 vs 223 chamber, both has 5.56 chambers. So your safe within limits load may not be so safe in someone else's gun. I reload for all my guns except for shotguns, Few things I learned from reloading. I learned that if I want to shoot more I must reload. I can tailor each specific load for the purpose intended. Never hot rod a round unless you have strict control of everything. If you want more power from a 44 magnum get a 454 and so on. Never shoot anyone else's reloads unless you trust that person with your life or his insurance will cover the damage. I've been asked many times to make rounds for relatives and friends. I tell them it's safer and faster to just go to the local Walmart store. To answer your question, I wouldn't sell reloads for profit.

I reload my owm ammo. Would I use someone elses reloads, Never. I wont even buy commercial reloads. Because of liability reasons, I wont reload for anyone else.

If you've ever seen a doublecharged or improperly loaded rifle cartridge (pistol powder instead of rifle) you will NEVER shoot another mans reloads.

I know a guy who had a bolt break, (shorn lugs) which took out all the teeth on the right side of his face then shattered the bones and lodged in his jaw/neck..

He lived somehow...

He had been reloading for years, but apparently got distracted and double charged a round.

What the heck paowder was he using that even left him room for the
double charge?

Rule #568, always try to use a powder that is both burn
effecient and takes up as much room as possible in the case to avoid
doublecharging and not being able to notice the defective round.

I shoot nobody's relaods, period. I would rather just hurl the bullet at
my target then risk death or dismemberment.

For pistol loads using fast burning powders such as 231, Titegroup, Bullseye are the best bang for the buck. Sadly a double charge in a 45acp or even 40s&W can go pass unnoticed. When I reload there are numerous possibilities of distraction. 3 boys running around and a wife that brings up subject matter that can easily distract me. When that happens I mark where I left off and when I come back I check the case under the powder charge. You can also put a chalk mark on the powder measure knob to make sure no one turned it changing the powder charge. I weight the charge thrown thru a powder measure everytime I refill my primers. QC check I built on my own, yours maybe different depending on your procedures. I usually box up finished rounds every time I refill primers, never put them in a big box that can hold many loose rounds. Reason being is if you suspect a double charge or no charge it is easy to check a small batch rather than a big batch.

No idea, but seing as how half of the guys face is still kinda caved in I don't doubt that it went down just like he said.

I think it was either a 30-06 or a 300 winmag rifle... but he may have just been loading the rest of the rounds light...

not something I really want to keep pestering the guy about, he's a good friends uncle and I only see him at BBQ's n such every few years.

Will I shoot someone else's reloads? Well, sure if I know and trust the person and am shooting them in their gun. Others have shot my reloads in my rifles or, once, at a match, I gave someone from Switzerland 40 rounds of AMAX topped 50BMG that I had loaded because he was shooting factory ball and couldn't hit ..... Although he had just met me, I told him my load data, OAL, etc. and he trusted me enough to accept the gift and shoot them. Yes, his group sizes shrank by over half.
