So...., you've decided to get a Sea Girt. Great! About selling bullets and wondering if others may want what you make: You need a "Type 6" FFL to sell bullets that you make, whether they are jacketed or not. You can give them away... that's OK ( at least by the letter of the Law), but you can't sell them without the "type 6". I've seen on other boards where some folks say that's not true, but they are wrong. You can't argue with the facts. Anyway, if you sell what you make and get cought and prosecuted, your firearms ownership days ( amoung other lesser things) are over. While you are right that you can't make a living making bullets on a manual press, you'd be surprised how many shooters would like to try bullets in weights/shapes that aren't on the mass market. I don't know what sort of .308 die set you are thinking about getting, but mine has multible capabilities: Flat base, rebated boattail, 6 & 8S, and RN points. Considering the OT, LT and FMJ capability of any set, and the weight range of the set I have ( 60-130 grains) there is a staggering ability to make almost any sort of .308 most shooters would be interested in. Being able to cut jackets to length, and being able to canneluer contributes greatly. So maybe 4 or 5 times a year I get small orders for bullets. I get more from the satisfaction of making them for sale than the cash benefit. Too, wnen I munch down on that Venison sausage, there's a little pleasure knowing it's been provided by one of my bullets. By the way, the CSP-1 is priced to cover costs and bring a modest profit: Richard Corbin at RCE probably looses money on those presses he just about gives away. In my opinion, given proper advertising, he could outsell the CSP-1 with the WH press even at equal prices.
