Making bullets to sell

[bear.23]

I have started a big thread here. But I did not know about all the B.S. that was involved ( but hought as much) The only reason I was asking is I see the box of some ammo at $30+ and I know that I can make the same thing on my press at home for about 1/4 the price and it would probably be a lot better too. But this idea will never take off but it is good to know about. I think i will stick to making ammo for my self and my family. Thanks guys, Andrew



PS the brass I am looking for is for personal use only

Since nobody said anything.. you say not boxer primed... So you want it berdan primed?

Well I am not %100 sure on reloading terms i have only been doing it for abut a year now. But on military ammo there the primer has been staked in almost like it was crimped. From what i have found i can not de prime the spent primers. I thought they called this boxer primed but i could be rong ....

Crimped primers can be either Boxer or Berdan.
Boxer cases have a single central flash hole. The spent primers can be easily pushed out with a decapping pin. Crimped Boxer primers will need a bit more effort, and the crimp must be removed before a new primer can be seated.
Berdan cases will have flash holes which are not centred. The primers are less convenient to remove.
The major difference in the primers is the location of the anvil - a Boxer anvil is part of the primer, a Berdan anvil is part of the case.
