Be careful with those plans, in the government's eyes that action is illegal. It doesn't matter who you're selling the ammo to, anything manufactured and sold needs to be approved by the federal government prior to sale.
 
One more cost - That should be mentioned - LIABILITY INSURANCE!!!

Your customer's gun isn't working right.
he's a basement gunplumber

It misfeeds causing a bullet to be slammed deep into the casing and then he still chambers it.
why waste a round?

BOOM! Chunks of chamber from the now-overpressure round fly up and take out the guy's eye.
he doesn't believe in safety glasses.

The Ambulance chasers arrive and you're looking down the barrel of a million dollar lawsuit.

It's only available from the high-risk companies like Lloyds and Totten, and it's EXPENSIVE.
But less expensive than loosing everything including your family's future on a lawsuit.

But I'm only going to sell them to my friends, they would never sue me.
You'll sadly see how good a friend they are if this occurs
 
LOL, Freedom Ventures. Pretty close to the truth.

I hate insurance companies, they exist because fear sells. However, if you didn't have it and went to court, you're absolutely correct, you would be deemed incompetent for not having it and the rest would be a moot point. You'd be bankrupt and then some.

Exactly..... more than a few good friends have ended up in court battles and are not friends anymore.

There's no way I'd give or sell any of my reloads to anybody. Just not worth it.
 
How about making components instead of the full round. How expensive is the equipment and setup for primers? I know from talking to Canam, there are a lot of steps in making brass, but less risks as well.
 
Brass making machines would be more practical for the Canadian market, especially if one could be made modular so it could be switched from caliber to caliber with only a few hour's work.

The cheapest machine sets are in the $100k region. They make one caliber at a time, but can be switched.
