Anyone else keep getting asked this question?

[sawcarver]

About once a day now I get someone that asks....

Hey you reload, I cant find ammo on the shelf right now, do you think you could load me a thousand rounds? Or maybe two thousand if its not too expensive.

Sure do and here’s my answer-

I need you to get me supplied up with unicorn tears and fairy dust and I’ll do the rest

then when I get a dumb look back I’ll tell them that I don’t reload for anyone but me and family because I don’t need the liability and beside that I can’t replace what I would use from my stock so I appreciate the question but the answer is no

Come on now. That should only take a half hour or so....

Look into the liability risk before you leap into that endeavor.

That's my concern also. If something goes bad, even if your rounds aren't the problem their insurance company is going to make you prove it.

Yeah theres no way I'm doing it, just think its funny how people think if there isnt ammo on the shelf I can magically come up with components

 

[Alguapo]

Nope . Not gunna do it.

 

[Bill Norris]

Just have to tell them it would less taxing on our friendship if I don't.

 

[M-61]

No way.
Wonder where you wind up if you reload for someone and they accidently shoot someone? Probably starts with "...if you hadn't supplied the ammunition..."

Aren't bartenders in a similar predicament if they serve an intoxicated person who then winds up in an automobile crash? Not sure but I think there is liability there.

Get asked the question regularly, the answer is always no. Many of my friends refused to build a stockpile during the good times. Guess I will have the range to myself. Had a close friend call yesterday, telling me he was at a large sporting goods store, only to find no reloading supplies. Same guy I have been telling to up his inventory since early last year. My tears are all dried up.

During the bad riots in 2020, I had liberal friends ask me to lend them firearms. "Absolutely not" was the answer. I explained the process for buying their own, with background checks (and, being in CA, ammo background checks too). They were not happy.

Not a soul, ever, IIRC.. Lucky me.

Are they aware that they voted for it?

 

[AccelR8]

Not reloading but I frequently get people asking me if I have guns I want to sell.

The answer is no.

 

[Kermit in Va.]

Yep, I know a few who have and the answer was always no.

 

[EOD Rob]

I get that question and also "Will you teach me how to reload?". The answer to the first one is a hard NO. The answer to the second is, "once you get everything it takes to reload and get it set up, give me a call and I'll come show you how". Actually had one buddy do just that! He calls all the time for pointer. Good on him!

I have one wanting me to teach him to reload. I will invite him to come watch me do a hundred semi match prepped 308s or some thing similar. When he sees how long it takes to prep the brass he will never even consider buying a press. I taught another a few years back and he loads a lot. He even loads 9mm, very few find that a worth while effort.

 

[Dusty Stevens]

I have a few every day telling me since they cant buy ammo they want me to teach them to reload. I tell them they can come visit and help load mine or they can get all the stuff and ill definitely show them how. Loaded 1000 223 rounds last nite and all i did was prime the cases.

 

[cheek9075]

Get ask all the time. My reply, source the components, primers, brass, bullets, and powder and I will help you learn, even use my equipment. No one has taken me up on this offer though...

 

[cw308]

No one has enough stock to load and sell , would take the deal if I did . Even now someone getting interested in rolling your own , is a bad time , nothing to buy except the equipment . Find bullets , powders and primers. I'm sure this will pass too. The big BUT is when.
