This subject comes up from time to time and generally results in some pretty heated arguments on whether or not it is legal for an individual to give their reloaded ammo to others. Now for the record, IMO this is a decidedly bad idea from a personal liability standpoint. Secondly I have seen comments published in reputable publications stating that the BATF has keyed in on that portion of the Federal law that states a manufacturing license is not needed if an individual uses their reloaded ammo for ”their use only” and that any other uses of reloaded ammo will require a license to manufacture, thus placing anyone that puts their reloads to any other use, including giving it away, in violation of the law. I recall the BATF issuing a written position to this end but, I’ll be darned if I can pull this up on line. A good many people just go off the deep end arguing that a manufacturing license is only needed if reloaded ammo is “sold for profit or livelihood”. Does anyone out there recall the BATF issuing this ruling? If so when? Was this position ever retracted?
