Selling Re-Loaded Shells
Quote from Reloader on June 28, 2013, 5:15 pmDo any of you nice folks out there sell your reloads? I would like to get all the info I can on doing this and selling online. Basically, I would like to find out if there are laws governing/prohibiting this. Any other general info on this would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Wayne

Quote from Reloader on June 29, 2013, 3:18 pmThe Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms licenses the manufacturing of ammunition for sale, and the IRS controls the excise tax charged on ammunition sold. You will need a Class 6 FFL to manufacture ammunition for sale, and you pay a 10-11% tax on ammunition sold.

Quote from Reloader on June 28, 2015, 3:29 pmI am sure there are laws governing the selling of reloaded ammo, as t5here are about almost anyting to do with guns. I love to reload and I have been avoiding selling (or even giving to friends) reloads due to liability issues, moreso than laws. Even if you are a very careful and meticulous reloader, which I consider myself to be, there is always the chance of making a mistake, which could be dangerous. I reload for myself, the lifelong friend and the guy who got me into all this, and another friend of mine. I have carefully explained to them the problems that could arise and they understand my stance on liability. I will not load for anyone else and I do not load for money. The honest fact being you almost cannot reload certain calibers for the price that you can buy factory ammo. Reloading components, powders in particular, are still hard to find and very expensive. This is all just my opinion but this is an issue that requires a lot of thought on your part...and on the part of your "future customers". Hope this helps a little bit.

Quite possibly anyone who is willing to underwrite the insurance will be able to point you to the applicable laws. Start there.
CYA.
