California Ammo Laws Reloading

Q: Will there be any restrictions on the amount of ammunition I can buy? How about limiting the purchase of ammunition to the caliber I have registered? Buyers of ammunition may encounter obstacles due to legal regulations, but they may also encounter problems as sellers of ammunition are more restrictive than laws and regulations. It can be difficult to distinguish between the two. Please understand that suppliers do not want to lose their licenses and can take a “better prevention than cure” approach if they think your purchase falls into a legal gray area. Recently, it was read that new ammunition laws are coming into effect in California. For those who live there, what impact does this have on your charging options? Eventually, I found the recharging relaxing. Reloading gave me an excuse to get part of my garage back. Spending several hours in the garage, listening to music and recharging is relaxing and satisfying for me. The only place where background checks are not required by law are shooting ranges, but shooting ranges can only skip the background check if the ammunition you buy is used in its entirety at the shooting range that day – you can`t take one home with you. Some domains may choose to require background checks to avoid risk. Do you want to circumvent this law by stocking up on ammunition in another state? Well, you can buy ammunition out of state, but to get it to California, you must first deliver it to a licensed California ammunition seller so they can do a background check and return your ammunition to you. The law does not limit the fees that the seller can charge for this service.

Q: OK, let`s say I hand over the standard eligibility check in your store, what happens then? A: You can buy as much ammunition as you want. There are NO quantity or caliber restrictions on the ammunition you can buy. The purchase, regardless of its size, must be documented electronically with the GM, which we process at the point of sale. After thinking about these things, I decided to learn how to reload my own ammunition. After some research and discussions with people with experience in reloading, I decided to use the Hornady Lock-N-Load auto-reloading press. If you start with nothing, you can buy everything you need to get up and running for less than $800. The Dillon Super 1050 will probably be my next stop. The Dillon has a higher capacity, but with a much higher acquisition cost. A: Prop 63 does NOT limit the amount or type of ammunition you can purchase. There are restrictions on how much a person can SELL over a 30-day period without being an authorized seller. As for the DOJ, which limits your purchase to the calibers you have registered: this is a myth.

#1: There is NOTHING in the law that imposes this #2: It`s not practical because not only are there a lot of weapons capable of driving multiple calibers (i.e. different peaks), but a person who buys ammunition can buy ammunition to shoot into a loan gun, the firearm of a friend or family member at the shooting range. Reloading your own ammunition offers a number of advantages. I recharge the 9mm, which is the caliber I photograph the most. My refill cost is about $00.14 per cartridge, compared to about $00.23 per cartridge for factory ammunition. If you shoot a lot, the costs/savings can add up. I also found it fun and rewarding to collect brass on the shooting range and at shooting events. You should only pick up your own brass from the range, but at other events, most people don`t recharge and the used brass is there to take away. Make sure you know the guidelines for brass used everywhere you shoot to follow the proper label. I want to know how to buy ammunition for my antique firearms in California, I have a legal registration.

Weapons and also some that did not need to be registered here and still do not see laws that require me to register them, but with the new ammunition law, I have not registered a weapon in some of the old long guns that I have, I reload, so it is not a big problem, but I like to buy ammunition, Because it`s cheaper to buy factory ammunition than dies and brass for a rifle, I barely use A: The $1 fee is charged by the CA Department of Justice to fund Proposition 63. We have no control over these fixed costs. Fees are charged for each total purchase, so if you buy ammunition on a Saturday, come back on Sunday to buy more, we need to redo the verification and collect the fee. To be clear, the fees are per transaction. It`s not based on how much ammunition you buy. Ridiculous? Yes. If your blood is bubbling like ours, join the California Rifle and Pistol Association (CRPA), which is fighting in court to reverse this nonsense. Oh, and VOTE in your local and state elections! Q: What are the details of the new regulations for the purchase of ammunition in 2019? Q: How does this affect an ammunition store like you? A: Well, thank you for the question! These laws are very onerous for us and our customers, but at LAX AMMO OC, we will make it our mission to make the process of buying ammunition in California as easy as possible for you. For example, in 2018, Phase 1 of Prop 63 required that ammunition not be accessible to the consumer without the assistance of the ammunition seller.
