Anyone else keep getting asked this question?

[Rich Lee]

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.

its hard to find componets but i wont reload for anyone. I reload for myself and that is it..

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.

They forget to add: Oh, and throw in the title to your house and car too....for free.

My friends wouldn’t ask. A few asked to trade some components. The rest don’t have a clue what I have.

Y'all think you got trouble. The neighbor kid just moved to Washington DC, and is going to work for the ATF. His parents are fine people, he was a quiet, sullen kid. Never had a problem with him. He has watched me load my guns and gear into my truck all his life. Used joke with his father about firing up a still, and growing weed. Guess I will be the first one he can roll his bones on. Probably be the first one in the re-education camp, so instead of reloading, I will be teaching you guys the ropes of life in the government prison/ re-education system. Have a good day in the flickering light of freedom.

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.

Liberals that want to ban and confiscate our guns wanted to borrow yours, now that is rich.

If they want hand loaded ammo, I direct them to their local gun show. Won't be my responsibility if things go south with those reloads.

 

[Park ranger]

I have a friend that ask, and just like above don’t stock up when stuff was plentiful. I told him if SHTF, you won’t be without but we aren’t there yet.
Another “friend” asked, nope. Elections matter.

There would be a very short list of people that I would give a box of factory ammo to if they got caught short and didn’t realize what was going on. If anyone else asks, I don’t have two nickels worth of ammo or components.

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.

At $1.50 a round it's worth it now.

A long time ago, a man told our group that "You don't have friends here. You have acquaintances."

I have pondered that statement for a long time and have concluded how right he was. We are coming to a time in our lives when we will find out who our TRUE friends are among the many people we know. Thank you Staff Sgt A.L. Gillum for that profound lesson in life. In my own little world, I would imagine that in the end, I will be able to count the true friends on one hand.

Doesn’t selling reloads require an FFL (06)?

As a “for profit” endeavor I believe the answer is yes. It’s a gray area after that (giving ammo away and/or letting others use your equipment to load their components), which in today’s environment I’m not going to explore!

Had a friend at work ask to find him a gun to buy during the beginning of COVID. He even had a guy in his yard pounding on his back door with a knife (not sure the back story cause he ran off). I located him a great deal on a Sig 9mm. He decided to buy a new fridge instead. I said hopefully the drawers are removable so you beat people with them. Or maybe spread ice cubes on your patio so the slip and fall like the movie Home Alone. Then the BLM and Antifa stuff started and he ran to me again. I just laughed at him.

Why do you have liberal friends?

Close family only.

Maybe @Forum Boss could give us the legal skinny on selling/giving away reloads. The gun shows are loaded with guys selling reloads right now. Im not even talking about ammo manufacturing license stuff im talking about loading for friends.

I'd be honored if you count me in.

Gun show reloads...a guy at the range was shooting a S&W 29 and I saw him using a Leatherman tool to first pound the ejector rod and then grab the fired cases to pull them out of the chambers. I walked over and noticed he had cartridges in a plastic zip lock bag with a printed stick-on label. I asked where he got them and he said at a gun show. I looked at the empties and a number of them were split lengthwise.

I told him he was right on the verge of blowing up a nice gun. Fortunately he listened to me.

(I may have written this story here in the past. If so, forgive me for the repeat).

It's like people who, when the power's out, want to borrow your generator. Each and every time the power's out. Year after year. The same one your house is running on because...well...the power's out!

I was in line today waiting to get into a store to check for any loading components. This a__h___ had the nurve to tell me he drives all over buying what he can and selling it. He has over 30,000 primers and lots of powders. Sells primers for $400per 1,000. He did not like it when i said i hate people like him. I dont agree on buying all you can and selling to others that way. Wounder if he bought up tp and hand sanitizer months back
