Title: hand load value question
Post by: Ellensburg on April 14, 2023, 11:59:51 PM: Recently stumbled into quite a bit of ammo for calibers that I don't own. Looking to sell / trade them. The rounds all look great but I'm wondering if theres a market for them. If so how do they stack up vs factory loads? Heres an example:

When I work on a load it’s always the same case, primer, powder etc. If that’s not important to the person loading it, then what else “isn’t important”. Not being a loading snob, just trying to explain mindset.

:yeah:

I don’t think you can legally sell reloaded ammo except as components.

If they are not one you reloaded the dollar value goes way up, as far as your cost in a lawsuit. Best thing to do is to break them down. Not worth the hassle or headache.

Post by: Stein on April 15, 2023, 11:29:02 AM: I agree, but there is some value there. A guy could pull the bullets, dump the powder and then put new powder in and seat. Lots of work, but with the price of components it would probably be worth it for some people. It would be easy to weigh the bullet and get data. The only variable would be the primer, but I don't think that is a safety concern.

But if I know the person who rolled them, I don't think I'd have an issue. Some folks are a lot more focused on what they build. So, the quality might be better than the store bought.
