Define "reload"

[deerslayer]

In light of ranges barring the use of "reloaded" ammo, what exactly is allowed? Does it have to be ammo that you bought? If you bought it, do you have to buy it from a store? Can you buy it from a friend? Does it have to come in a brand-name box? Several ammo companies offer cheaper lines of product that are apparently reloads, but are sold as new ammo. Would something like Tennessee Cartridge or Ultramax be allowed?

ammo reloaded by someone with a liscense to make and sell it is considered the same as factory.

The stuff you make at home is what is not allowed. The guy with the liscense... is just as liable as remington or winchester.

TN cartridge and Ultramax would count as liscensed and sueable and therefore probably acceptable.

Its all about "can you drag the folks that made it into court when something blows up".

Ammunition produced by a licensed and insured manufacturer is what they are allowing. Anything else is a reload and likely what they do not want in their facilities.

Buying ammunition from a friend, or anyone, is against the law for the seller unless he/she is licensed as a manufacturer of ammunition. There are a lot of fly by night ammo makers out there without any type of liability insurance. And why would anyone want to shoot ammunition knowing if something went wrong you are on your own.

And on top of that anyone who sells or gives their reloads without liability insurance is someone I would not want ammunition from anyways. If they are not taht worried about protecting themselves they sure as hell aren;t worried about safeguarding someone else.

I'm just talking out my rear as I really don't know, so keep that in mind. That understood, I figure they mean the ammo must come from a licensed and insured manufacturer who's business is making ammunition. That would include companies like "Freedom Munitions".

Oops, late to the party.

So, it doesn't really matter if it's actually "reloaded" or not?

[Dolomite_supafly]

No but if it is not loaded by a licensed manufacturer it is NOT a factory loaded round. The components may be used but that does not matter as long as they are assembled by a manufacturer.

Again, selling reloads is illegal unless you are licensed to manufacture and sell them. Then they are considered factory loads.

I think this question has been sufficiently answered.
