[cant shoot straight]

ive been saving all my 40 cal. brass and there's a guy that reload's for people around my area.what is a fair price for reload's if i have him reload for me.?

I don't think you can legally charge someone for reloads without the license.

But this is a calculator that I used to use:

If he isn't licensed and loaded to the gills with liability insurance, no price is cheap enough for me.

FWIW, I don't give away or allow anyone else to shoot my reloads....period. I always carry an extra box of factory loads in case I run into someone who would like to try one of my guns (which happens quite frequently). If I double charge a reload and it blows up on me, that's my fault and I pay the price. If this happened to another person, and they were injured, I'd feel terrible and probably be liable financially.

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]
Q: Must a licensed manufacturer pay excise taxes? Yes. Licensed manufacturers incur excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition manufactured. See Item 17, "Federal Excise Tax" in the General Information section of this publication.

Why not load your own. That way you learn a new skill set and have the confidence that all of your ammo is loaded to your standard.

Check out www.mastercast.net. The site has a list of products with prices. I have fired off thousands (stopped counting) of their 9mm and .38 sp without a problem. Inexpensive (especially if you send your spent brass), reliable, excellent service. The cheapest way to send your brass is by USPS Priority Mail. I send up to two thousand cases that way in the ten buck box. Any other way I know of costs twice that.

Cordially, Jack

Ask your friend if you supply the brass, primers, powder and bullets, would he show you how to reload them with his equipment. I don't think I know a reloader that doesn't want to infect as many folks as possible. You will get your reloads, you will see what it takes to do it and may find yourself hooked on a new hobby.

In the meantime there are several good commercial reloaders on the NET if you're looking for affordable practice ammo. Mastercast linked to above is good as is Georgia Arms, D&G Reloading and a few others online.

Reloading is not a chore for the sake of cheaper ammo; it's a hobby unto itself. Give it a try!

This seems to mess a lot of people up. The law, and case history, doesn't prevent you from selling your reloads, it just limits how much you can make from it before you are considered to be engaged in business. If the guy sells you reloads for what he has in them, or even a few extra dollars for his effort, he doesn't need a license.

But you must remember, his reloads are not required to be covered by liability insurance either so any damages to your gun are your fault, not his.
