Prices look good, realisticly maybe too good. If your capacity is only 100,000
rounds per month, Sacramento County residents will consume that much before mid month. don't become another Jack Ross. Gun stores around here are numerous, Bet I could sell them all 100 k in just a few days. Tomorrow, I could probably do that by noon, Judging from what is available out there |

I'd take 1k of the .40 and drive to Sacramento every time I need ammo with prices like that. You have my business when you're up and running.

but on a better note, other than here, i am not planning to advertise, word of mouth will have to be it. i am going to school full time and this is kind of a hobby for me. i load about 10k each now, and thats working full time on top of it... so i dunno what i will actually pump out. hopefully more : ) i have happy customers here hehe. theres no TEXGUNS.net sadly , but i look forward to your reviews, good, bad, ugly, sexy, all of it. cant get better without honest reviews. |

As long as somebody can vouch for quality I will get all my 9mm from you. I got a bunch of friends that shoot 9mm too. I am only a couple hours away from Sac. Can't wait until you are up and running. All the best.

A little market info since you're (going to be) in Sac.
I bought 4K of .40s&w 180gr FMJ commercially reloaded ammo from Redline Ballistics (via a gun show) for $230/k two days before Sandy Hook. 9mm was under $200 per 1k. I didn't buy any then, but IIRC, .45acp was priced just under $300 per 1k... all calibers come with a cheap plastic ammo can. RLB isn't real high quality stuff and I've had a few issues with their rounds, but it's sufficient for range practice and plinking. Ammodepot and other shops in Sac also sell Redline ammo at little to no markup as compared to the gun show, which tells me that dealers get wholesale pricing. The wholesale market is also viable if you can supply sufficient quantities. Edit: Well, Calguns be slow. I never saw your above posts. Last edited by diveRN; 01-29-2013 at 3:04 PM.. |

As a starter, i'll say limit first upto max of 1K or 2K each order for every costumer. So that you can build a reputation quickly. Just to be fair on each costumer.
I'll get 1K of 556 & 45.

Since you are dealing with ammo - get very good, high limit, insurance to cover you, your assets, and any potential problems if your ammo does not perform correctly. Not worth losing everything if someone shoots a bad batch.

If the OP is a one-man shop, I recommend concentrating on 9mm and .223 only for now. I recall a major ammo vendor once published a revenue pie chart according to caliber. These are just rough figures I remember.
.223 - 25% of revenue 9mm Parabellum - 15% 45 ACP - 8% 308 - 6% 40 S&W - 5% Best luck to you and your new business. |

It really depends what your end goal is, if you want to attempt to expand, if you want to stay small. In the end a small scale there isn't too much of a difference between the two except it's easier to sell a Class S than it is an LLC if you get offered a buyout. I'm sure there's much more I'm forgetting but that's what I remember from the top of my head. On another note, OP, I'm a computer engineer with a degree in information security. If you need any computer related advice or help, feel free to send me a PM.

I generally purchase a few thousand rounds per year of .40 and 5.56.
I'm working on an AR-308, which will be the first .308 in my collection, so I'll need that if I can ever get the last few parts. Not on your list I realize, but I'd be interested if you added that one.

A key word above was "generally." The idea is for the OP to do his homework because only he knows what's going to serve him better.

Good luck with your new business. To start off I'd be happy to buy 2k of the 9mm from you and once I have a chance to test it out I'd look forward to buying various calibers on a regular basis.
We definitely need a good bulk supplier here in Northern California. |
