It is a mixed bag of 500 and 525 gr. over IMR 4198 or Varget. Since I found what I was looking for in a load, is it a good idea to pass (sell) these along to someone else who may be interested in trying a variety of loads or is the prudent thing to do to just shoot them up? I know what's in them and have been shooting them, but am I opening myself up to liability?

It's not that Liberals are unwilling to listen to another point of view, they are just simply amazed that another one exists.

Yes, if the person engages in the business of selling or distributing reloads for the purpose of livelihood and profit. No, if the person reloads only for personal use. [18 U.S.C. 922(a) (i) and 923(a), 27 CFR 478.41] Q: Must a licensed manufacturer pay excise taxes? Yes. Licensed manufacturers incur excise tax on the sale of firearms and ammunition manufactured.
