Any Lawyers Here ?

I have a couple of friends who manufacture ammo, here in Dallas and are very successful, in the beginning they reloaded, but found the insurance costs were much lower for manufacturing, ( all new components ) than reloading. Now another avenue is finding local gunshops, and LEO training centers, and cater specifically for them. Police departments are on a budget and someone like you if you put out a quality product, can have a good, regular relationship. Only 1 yr ago, I had constables and gunshops trying to buy my stash. If they are close, then no shipping, just drive and deliver. Individual officers will also place orders with you. Also don't forget the above quality angle, not just 55 grn fmj, but bthp match, or the heavier 77 grn  AMU ammo, quality brings a higher price, look on ammo engine, the match stuff, still brings nearly a buck a round. Just remember, the lowest bidder, works harder, if you can make match ammo for .75 a round, with new components, well you win. Same effort, more profit.

Something to add to M25 post.

Depending on state laws, to transport said ammo, you may need a CDL( maybe even a haz mat sticker) and ever thing that goes along with it.

I doubt you will selling enough to where federal laws will apply.  I don't recall the federal laws for ammo( paging haz)  now if you want to know about chemicals... I can help you.
