Reloading .45 Colt - any one do it and sell?
thinking about getting a single action .45 colt but the cost of factory ammo is perplexingly high.
is there anyone in the lehigh valley that reloads and sells the reloads less than the $30+ per box?
this is the one thing that is really holding me up from making the purchase.
Thanks,
Jizmo3

Re: Reloading .45 Colt - any one do it and sell?
I can't see too many people loading for someone other than a close friend or family. Too much liability involved.
This might be the right time to look into reloading for yourself. It is a useful and gratifying hobby, and makes it much easier to shoot whenever you want to.
Lots of good info here for beginners and the experienced.You know why a banana is like a politician?
When he first comes in he is green, then he turns yellow and then he's rotten.

30+ per box? You've got to be kidding. Walmart has Federals for $16 and change and russian Tula for $14.97. Decent self defence ammo will cost much more, of course, but you don't need to be plinking with it and it's VERY bad idea to use reloads for self defence.
Je suis déplorable

I believe he's referring to .45 LC, not ACP, since he referred to a single-action pistol, in which it is a popular caliber.
The only person who I can think of who might, or who might be convinced to do so, is Roger Burris at King's Shooters' Supply: http://www.betterbullets.com/

Excuse me? Does that work like wine-making or something? Got a citation for us?

Re: Reloading .45 Colt - any one do it and sell?
Q: Is a license required to engage in the business of selling small arms ammunition?
No. A license is not required for a dealer in ammunition only, but a manufacturer or an importer of ammunition must be licensed.
[18 U.S.C. 922 (a)(1)(B)]

Q: Is a person who reloads ammunition required to be licensed as a manufacturer?
Yes, if the person engages in the business of selling or distributing reloads for the purpose of livelihood and profit. No, if the person reloads only for personal use.
[18 U.S.C. 922(a) (i) and 923(a), 27 CFR 478.41]
http://www.atf.gov/firearms/faq/manu...ammo-reloading
I believe there are excise taxes on the manufacturing of ammunition, so yes, it is exactly like brewing alcohol for resale.

Re: Reloading .45 Colt - any one do it and sell?
Wow, thanks for the reply's and didn't mean to stir anything up.
I'm talking about .45 colt (LC). I do have a 45 acp and yes am fully aware the costs on the acp are relatively reasonable.
did alot of research on reloading yesterday and am probably going to learn how to do that. question - haven't yet researched this part yet - any place in the valley that sells reloading supplies?
probably going to go with the lee kit or press and die set. primers and bullets can get on the internet but not sure if I would go that route for powder.
Time to get a book on reloading......
