Is renting reloading eqpt manufacturing ammo?

[Hunt]

I was thinking about putting a few thousand bucks into a nice reloading shop. If I rented the space and equipment to others could roll their own, not for sale, but their own personal use, is this manufacturing ammo?

don't think so, I have seen a few gunshops do this, but granted they have some form of FFL..... seems like just equipment rental... It would be awesome to sell components as well, especially at a good price....

City codes could limit the amount of powder you can sell, and the size of powder cans....

I'll wait and see if an actual FFL answers.....

Pretty much same answer. Irvington Arms in Fremont rents space on their machines (Dillons).
