How come there are so few? You'd think a lot of reloaders would be doing this for profit. If there were one locally, I'd buy from them, but I checked and there really isn't. Is this certificate really hard to get or is there just no money in doing this?
Commercial reloaders
- Thread starter chise
- Start date
There is a lot of overhead, a lot of regulatory bs, and a lot of demanding picky customers. Add to that that most of the guys can't make a buck unless they do all the work themselves, they then also get pounded with grief when they aren't on the phone from 7am til 9pm from coast to coast.
each caliber you load for and load for that caliber has too be tested . i understand it not a cheap process . take that into account , reloading supplys even for the big guys is scarce . primmers are really hard too get as well as powder . i really dont think there is a lot of proffits too be had . the return is alot smaller than we think . every 1 is looking for a deal . so you spend all that money and somebody scores some surplus and sell it cheap you may sit on your reloads for a long time no proffit in that.so too that i say reload your own or be happy with deals our stores provide .cheers FRANK
Plus you need to get approval for every load combination you are loading. As I understand, cost for the testing is about $1700 each.
Say somebody wants 100 rounds in a 375 TheNewOne? Before you can sell those 100 rounds you need to spend $1700 plus wait however many months for approval from NRCAN.
