I have a number of loads that I have worked up for various calibers that seem to have become fairly popular with some of my buddies at the range.
I was curious, does anyone know how difficult it is to sell custom loads? I am particularly interested in the legal ramifications. I know there are small mom-and-pop businesses that are doing this on the web, but I was unsure what type of paperwork, licensing, BATF approval, that is required. I am not opposed to doing these things, but for a small hobby oriented part time income, it may not be worth the trouble. On the other hand, if the ammunition side of things is highly unregulated, it might be a viable endeavor.
I don't particularly care about the business aspects of this - like profitability, marketing, since I am not looking at this as a major source of income. I am just interested in perhaps supplementing my income with something I already enjoy doing for myself.
