I started reloading about 10 years ago, maybe 40k rounds, not one issue. I recently bought a new Dillon and have been playing around with other calibers as well as started pouring lead. So yeah, I have some new stuff to try, that's why I'm asking questions.yeah...if i were them i'd hold off shooting your reloads until you get more experience under your belt. just saying...
That's why I have an LLC, insurance and 06FFL in the works.It’s just a liability thing. God forbid you’re reloads blows up their gun and/or injures them it could be problematic.
what are the taxes like on a ammunition manufacture? Do you have to pay taxes on the amount of ammo you make vs what sell?That's why I have an LLC, insurance and 06FFL in the works.
I've been reloading for 30 years and I still won't use my reloads in other peoples guns, and it's not that I'm not confident in my reloads but shit does happen and I don't need that on my conscious.yeah...if i were them i'd hold off shooting your reloads until you get more experience under your belt. just saying...

i don't let anyone shoot my reloads in their guns either...an important golden rule of reloading.I've been reloading for 30 years and I still won't use my reloads in other peoples guns, and it's not that I'm not confident in my reloads but shit does happen and I don't need that on my conscious.
Taxes here are brutal, would be on what I sell, I would have to be careful if I was using half the ammo for personal use because I write off what I purchased.what are the taxes like on a ammunition manufacture? Do you have to pay taxes on the amount of ammo you make vs what sell?
That's for the .40 only.Actually, I recall reading it in the owner's manual of my Glock 21.
That's for the .40 only.
You left out that the .40 also passed all my 9mm plunk tests!I know that the 40 is legendary for its knockdown power. It's good to go for hunting brown bear and Kodiak. That I did hear on these forums. However the manual for my Glock 21 was for a 45 ACP, not a 40.
It may very well have been in the manual for my Glock 19 as well. But truth be told, I didn't read that one.
And when shit happens murphy will make sure its your ammo in your friends gun.I've been reloading for 30 years and I still won't use my reloads in other peoples guns, and it's not that I'm not confident in my reloads but shit does happen and I don't need that on my conscious.

They charge 11% on the cost of production?This is often caused by over crimping. Taper crimp just enough to remove the flare.
The other cause can be the Dillon sizing die. It undersizes 9mm too much and the case can bulge when you seat. I've loaded tens of thousands of 9mm on a 1050. At first, I had some rounds that wouldn't gage. I replaced the Dillon sizing die with a Hornady and have had no more issues. Make sure you set the die so that it's only a few thousandths away from the shell plate when the ram is all the way up.
Lead bullets are a bad idea in a stock Glock barrel because of the polygonal rifling. Unless the alloy and velocity are right, the bullet won't obdurate enough to completly fill the rifling, leaving a gap between the bullet and the rifling that allows hot gas to jet by. The hot gas cuts the lead and deposits it into the rifling ahead of the bullet. The build up can cause a pressure situation you want no part of.
Someone asked about ammo taxes...
Ammo manufacturers have to pay the FAET (Firearms and Ammunition Excise Tax). The federal tax the manufacturer has to pay on ammo is 11%. That's right - for every dollar you spend on ammo, $0.11 goes to the federal government.
I don't share my reloads , but it's mostly because I'm a greedy prick........i don't let anyone shoot my reloads in their guns either...an important golden rule of reloading.

replace the the d with a tobdurate?
From Merriam Webster:
Definition of obdurate
1a : stubbornly persistent in wrongdoing
an unrepentant, obdurate sinner
1b : hardened in feelings
The obdurate enemy was merciless.
2 : resistant to persuasion or softening influences
obdurate in his determination
remaining obdurate to her husband's advances
Other sites have similar definitions. Is this a weirdo special case only for ballistics?
