Is he au fait with H&S requirements of such a venture?

They could add significantly to his costs.

I think he could do well at those prices. I see plenty folk at Melville walk away without collecting their brass. 9mm would be a bonus for the Lever Release guys too. 223 for CSR, etc etc.

If his maths are correct then it could work but carriage will always be the killer with ammo. I would be happy to deliver non expanding to RFDs up here FOC if he was close to my business travels. (Appropriate letters of authority requires :-) )

Just to give your guy an idea of prices, Andy Allwood manufactures ammo for clubs in quantities, they are all proof tested etc, price are:

.38 special cowboy action load £24.00 per 100
.357 cowboy action load £36.00 per 100
.44mag cowboy action load £38.00 per 100 Ideal for 25m-50m
He will also buy back the empty cases at £4.00 per 100 hence reducing the overall cost considerably

Why would the 357 be 50% more expensive?

Don't see that.
I can get new Starline 38 special cases for about £15 a 100 and 357 cases for about £16 a 100.

My mate reckons on them both being around the same price should he get into it.
