Sale price for 450 rds of .45 ACP?

Tech141
I have 450 rds of hand-load Hornady XTP 225 gr .45ACP JHP ammo. I want to sell it, but have no idea what to ask for it. With the prices of ammo as they are, what price do you think I should ask? Also - I have 1000 large pistol primers, 900 .45 ACP fired brass, and 500 .45 JHP bullets to sell. Can you help a clueless brotha out and suggest a sale price for them?

    Unless you are a commercial re-loader/re-manufacturer of ammunition, your best bet might be to disassemble the ammo and sell the components.

    You can sell primered brass and pulled bullets. If you have flowers, they will like the powder.

    3 weeks ago large pistol primers were $36 a thousand at Sportsman's Warehouse on the shelf. Midway lists used 45 acp brass at $140/m, not that they had any. They don't list a 225 gr for an acp but $20 to $25 per hundred is about right.

    I wouldn't pull the ammo down, sell it for near component prices. let the buyer do the work.

    I wouldn't want to assume any liability for it, especially in this litigious society. Commercial reloaders, at least in this state, are required to have a one million dollar liability policy.

    In the event there was an event, even if it was the operator's or the gun's fault, the cost of defending the suit could be very expensive.

    My thoughts exactly. If someone wants it, and they do, let them do the work. You might start at about 1/2 of what components sell for and let it go on the auction side. Folks are paying good money right now. Just make the statement in the auction that it is to be pulled down.

    Would also point out that if you are making ammo for sale, that requires a FFL as a manufacturer of ammo.
