All it takes is a basic reloading set, and the aforementioned components. And residence in a state that has not yet banned powder and primers.

$50 for fifty rounds is a dollar a round [duh!]. I haven't added up the components, Starline brass, Huntington bullets, etc to see if a dollar a round would yield a profit or not. Or how much of one. Shipping would be a factor also, both to and from.

Do we have such an individual here?
No, I was assuming that he makes (made?) the ammo sold by Old Western Scrounger.

And making and selling ammo is probably a bit more involved than what you describe. Seems like you would need an FFL 06 ("Manufacturer of ammunition for firearms") or if you intend to sell it yourself an FFL 07 ("Manufacturer & dealer of firearms & ammo"). Not sure about the 07 though, sounds like overkill even for the government. Then you have the nowadays always present risk of being held liable for what other people may do with the ammo, so good insurance would almost be a must. Can't have too much fun, can we?
