I know you can't legally sell them, and they are listed as "dis-allowed" in the EE rules but to just GIVE them away could you list them?
 
You can legally sell reloads, you just need to be NRcan certified and have a firearms business license. You should probably have some form of insurance as well.

I went as far as speaking with the folks at NRcan and getting all the forms. Basically you have to fill out the paperwork and send them information on your loads, like BC etc. They test the stuff and then deem you certified. I don't remember if you can only sell the loads they certify or whether you get the cert and can make/sell whatever you want. The process used to cost only a few bucks, now it's up over $1000.00 I think.

I'm not looking to start a business, just getting out of a caliber and have a bunch of reloads left over.
 
I think the answer is no then, everything has to have a price. There may even be a policy regarding live reloads.

Just mention which caliber you have on this thread and I'm sure a bunch of guys will PM you.
 
this thread is still going on and no one quoted the rules?

Just take them apart and sell the components as already suggested. That's what I did. It's a bit of work but that is the only practical thing to do. I saved the primers for fowlers and dumped the powder back in it's tin. The brass and bullets I sold.
 
This was already brought up in 41 Colt's other thread.

He is getting out of reloading and has a bunch of 41 Colt brass and stuff. The problem is the brass contains a bunch of compressed black powder and bullets and is no easy task to pull apart. Since he can't sell them, or give them away on this site he has the problem of being stuck with something he doesn't want to just throw in the trash or turn in.
 
hk33ka1 has it right. My specific rounds are full of blackpowder. Normal smokeless rounds are easy to take apart. I have some .38spl reloads I will be pulling apart, but these blackpowder filled ones are different. I could try washing it out.
 
I have not tried washing BP out of cartridges or even removing it without firing but I don't know if it would disolve or just harden like mud in the case.

I still think the best bet is finding someone who wants to use them as is.
 
I have personally confirmed with Director of Explosives branch, that it is legal to give away relaods. He obtained a legal opinion on behalf of NRCAN to answer my query, so this is the most comprehensive answer avaialabe.

However "give" means just that, no consideration/compensation/barter, etc.

BUT you are still PERSONALLY liable if there is a problem with your reloads. Your personal liability might cover a claim.

However if you sell your unapproved reloads, then your personal liability insurance is void, because selling them would be an illegal act.

Best bet is to take them apart and sell the components.
