Selling Reloads in 1 on 1 personal transactions
Are you required to have insurance or a license to sell reloads in small quantities? This would mostly be to friends and references.

Nope. I've bought reloads from people. Just be aware of their reloading experience.

I don't have an answer to your question. Personally, I would never even give away my reloads to anyone, friend, reference, or worst enemy. If the recipient should be injured in any way that even might possibly be related to my reloads ... there isn't an insurance policy big enough to cover that.

There is a license to manufacture ammunition. I don't know at what point the BATFE deems that one needs a license, but "common sense" suggests that it would be when you start taking money and selling ammunition. Once you take money, you're a business. As for insurance -- whether or not a license is required, IMHO it would be just plain foolish to be putting your reloads in other people's hands without having a very healthy insurance policy that you know will cover you if one of your reloads takes off a finger or a hand. |

Manufacturing ammo requires licenses, local, state, and federal.
If you want to make some ammo for your buds, invite them over and the two of you make it it together. Should keep you legal. I wouldn't expand beyond close buddies. No referrels, no informers. |

I'll search the BATF's website for a more through answer. I would suspect it's non applicable by the fact that state laws supersede when products don't cross state borders. A classic requirement of the Interstate commerce agreement.
NO NEED FOR FURTHER REPLYS, I've got enough information. |

Just because some reloaded ammunition doesn't actually cross a state line doesn't mean that the feds won't try to regulate it, and they may well succeed. You'll likely have to purchase gunpowder, primers, casings and bullets that all traveled in interstate commerce. From the BATFE website: Quote:

Are you making the reloads? Is this a side business? So you're sure that ATF won't find you to be engaged in the business of manufacturing ammunition and require that you have an appropriate license? And are you sure you won't be required by state law to have some kind of license? How about a business license? How about taxes or sales tax? I've kept this thread closed because you've said you know everything you need to know. Are you sure?
