Reloading? worth it? dangerous?

[G21.45]

NOT a good idea to sell reloaded ammo unless you have, both, an FFL and insurance coverage.

(I don't think you must have an FFL to sell reloaded ammo; but, I know I wouldn't be anxious to do it; and, if something goes wrong with either the gun or the ammo (Who knows!) you can expect to be sued.)

And whoever makes the ammo is responsible for collecting & reporting tax.

I have some reloaded ammo, that, along with my instructor, I helped reload ("helped" is a generous term - I tumbled brass, primed brass, and BOUGHT & paid for the primers, powder, & bullets...) as part of our 'Y2K' preps. I have since standardized on .45 pistols, and consequently, still have about a thousand rounds of ammo I DON'T need! About half of it is 9mm (VERY popular), some is .40 (popular), and the rest is 10mm (huh? ). I've socked it away, as my 'gift' ammo, for when the SHTF. First of all, I fired TWICE as much as I still have, and know it ALL to perform well AND safely - secondly, when the SHTF, and YOU need 9mm, 10mm, or .40 ammo, you're not going to much CARE who made it, or what it costs - you're only going to want it to go 'BANG' when you pull the trigger, and for a bullet to fly downrange, relative to where you were aiming!

If you find yourself 'stuck' with reloads, and you KNOW they are GOOD rounds, this would be MY advice, on what to do with it!

p.s. - on the other hand, if you get overrun by badguys, and you have some reloads that are basically PACKED with powder (brass-cased powderkeg 'experiments'), store them separately, lead the badguys to 'em, and let THEM have them. "KA - BOOM!" No more badguy!
