There is certainly a market for manufacturing ammunition. You have to get people over the perception that the ammo is just reloads. New brass helps. I'm sure you have read or heard people say that they won't shoot other people's reloads.
Once the operation is started, you begin having a tables at gun shows as a form of advertising, generating sales, and having face to face discussions with customers. Name recognition is very important. Once your name is known, you could probably begin getting shelf space at some of the big stores that sell ammo such as Bass Pro, Gander Mt, Cabelas, Sportsmans Warehouse etc. But it will be cheaper to just sell from a web site as long as it continues to be legal to ship to private individuals. Price is very important.
I would suggest you make a trip to visit someone like GA Arms and see their operation. Just depends on the scale of operation you envision.
