It's a good idea I guess.
I don't reload but I have an interest.
When I see somebody buying reloading supplies, it's usually older (50+, sorry don't stone me to death!) guys.
Maybe you could offer classes for a nominal fee to try to get a different demograph into reloading.
You could do that at a relatively low cost too.
It's funny how true this is--it's generally older people that seem to be reloading.
I think I know why--it's hard for someone young, who maybe is married and has young children, to justify the money it takes to start reloading. If you're going to save significant sums, you have to buy in bulk, and even one 8# keg of powder, 5000 primers, and a couple thousand bullets will set you back in the neighborhood of $500. And that's just for one caliber....
That's not counting the reloading equipment which, if you want to go with a progressive, will run in the area of $1000 to start.
And then there's bullet casting....
I'd say it's the older folks that have more disposable income, and if they're empty-nesters, which they probably are, they have more disposable time.
In that, I suspect, is a lesson for marketing. The idea of doing classes is a good one, but I think you have to somehow connect it to cost-effective reloading equipment.
Something I've tried to do is tell newbie reloaders that they can buy, from me, components at the bulk price. So someone could get, say, 100 primers for $2.75, some FMJ bullets for 9 cents each (9mm), and powder by the pound whereas I buy it in 8# kegs when I can.
I've even thought of having a setup where someone could use my own equipment, but if I were running a business, I suppose there would be liability concerns.
Anyway, some thinking out loud.
