    Default Reloaded ammo question

    I know a guy selling reloaded ammo and seems like good deals. Are they worth getting? How high are the possibilities of misfires/malfunctions of the ammo?

    Does he have a federal license to manufacture and sell ammo? If not, I'd steer clear of it. Anybody can reload ammo, but that doesn't mean they're doing it right, or even know what they're doing. That's why there's a manufacturing license required.

    Does he have all proper ATF licenses to manufacture and sell ammo ?
    if it is some jack wad selling out of his garage, stay away. Are you willing to risk your firearms and/or your face to a KABOOM ?

    Edit, Rondog is quicker on the draw.....

    This will be redirected very shortly to the proper thread, reloading or ammo thread.

    Depends on the quality of the particular operation. There are some real high end "remanufacturers" of ammunition and some fly-by-night guys.

    I barely even trust my own reloads, and I'm the most anal-retentive person I know.

    Ammo savings rapidly diminish with missing body parts.

    Yeah, if he's wearing an eye patch and missing a couple fingers, I'd move on.

    I have some mixed feelings here, I have all my proper licensing, pretty sure I'm not a jack wad but I do sell out of my garage

    Nahhhhh I'm good.
