What are the current laws regarding the purchase of reloading supplies / equipment? Do certain items require proof of pal before purchase?

In order to purchase subject items you must understand the Canadian Monetary system and be able to count.
 
Send me your money 2K is fine.. I will send you a press some bullets , some powder and some brass and a manual....

You find primers and put them all together...
 
Whoa.. Didn't expect those responses. Things have gone pretty good here until now.

What gives? It was a legitimate question for someone learning about firearms and firearm ownership in Canada.

You don't need a PAL or anything special to buy components. Once you start buying supplies you won't be able to stop :)
 
Alberta should be far enough west. Forgive certain members they are old and paranoid. You don't need anything assuming you are 18. Some gunshops ask to see your PAL but most don't. It does become an addiction, it's like hoarding lol.
 
Although I buy reloading components all the time, I was wondering the same thing. I thought because they knew me, they didn't ask, but recorded who bought powder and primers.

Isn't there a limit on how much powder you can have stockpiled, or can buy at one time?

Are there dwelling place insurance issues?

"...Isn't there a limit..." It takes a lot of powder before you need to worry about storage rules. I forget exactly how much, though. Far more than a normal reloader will have. An 8 pound keg(56,000 grains) will last a long time, depending on what you're loading and how much you shoot. Don't buy a keg until you have a load worked up though.
Most insurance companies don't care about reloading supplies. Including the primers and powders. You're not obligated to tell anybody you reload either.
 
Thanks for the info guys. I have a feeling once I get setup and reloading, I wont be able to stop! :)

So then just to be clear, the room where I store my reloading supplies, and where my bench is located must have a sign on the door that reads "explosives"?

I'm not sure how I feel about that.

Do any of you guys have that sign on your doors?
 
no, this means the container you'll be storing your propellant in has this clearly marked on it.
The container also has specs....minimum thickness plywood, non sparking hardware etc...I can't remember where to find this info but I'm sure it would be with the other info Dinsdale provided.
This is one of those storage rules I'm sure 30% of reloaders follow....lol
 
Probably 3% ... plus any relevant TDG regs to/from the range.
