Buying reloads
from ATF
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.

The initial cost of the equipment to start reloading is not a total waste of money. It's more of a place to park some cash not an investment. The components are used up but only at the rate you choose to shoot. The equipment will always have some value and if you buy quality equipment you can...
I have a Govt 380 that I got new 25 years ago. It is a great gun and can not be compared to a LCP or any of the other new plastic 380's. They are accurate and comfortable to shoot. The price you are getting is a good deal. I no longer need mine as I have replaced it with an 9mm Emp and will...
I am new to reloading and have only loaded plated bullets. I bought 2,000 cast bullets recently that were not packed or shipped properly. While being shipped the packing material was beaten down and the individual boxes broke. There is a fair amount of wax-lube flakes in the bottom of the box...
Dillon
If Dillon Precision Products made cars there would not be a foreign car on the road. Can you imagine if they owned the cable company? I bet the repair guy would show up on time.
I have called them a number of times about my old 550. I didn't buy it new and they could care less...
Thanks again rfwobbly for the great info.
The help you and others have given me over the last couple of months has enabled me actually enjoy loading and shooting my own ammo.
I have gone from 9mm that looked like coke bottles to some really good looking ammo.
My wife and I went to the range...
I used the dryer sheet and wiped the plastic powder tube and all other parts of the powder measurer and problem solved. I also started trying to be a little smoother when operating it.
I know this has been asked before but I could not find the answer.
I am using Berry 147gr Rn with 4.3 of Power Pistol and shooting it in my XDM.
Yesterday I loaded some with an OAL of 1.45 and some with 1.54. They all fed fine and I really did not notice much of a difference in accuracy. I am...
Static
"I get the dents too, but it's not from spilled powder. Usually it's bits of ground walnut or primer residue that comes out of the flash hole/primer pocket during decapping."
That might be what it is? I think the powder that I am seeing on the disk is from static. I will ground the...
It is a brand new PM and I am loading 9mm. I did notice that there is some powder sticking to the inside of the case. Could that be static? If I have static, how do I get rid of it?
I keep having a couple of specks or so of loose powder that make their way onto the primer cup. This leads to the primer having a small dent when set. I thought that I was jerking the machine but that's not the case. I keep a can of air close by and am having to constantly blow the powder...
I am getting ready to load some for the weekend and this is what I found in the batch I just cleaned.
I have no idea how the primed case on the left got in there.
Should I use the center one with the larger primer hole? What would have caused that? There is a big difference between it and...

VACAVILLE, Calif. – Authorities say a Northern California man was injured when a device hidden inside a Sunday newspaper exploded as the man reached for the paper on his driveway.
The blast at about around...
I just bought a Colt 357 so she could practice until we find a good light load. It is not something she will be shooting a lot, she just wants to make sure she can shoot it if she needs to. She shoots my 1911s 45acp with no real problem. I don't really enjoy shooting the Taurus more than 10-15...
