I have a friend that started reloading for his own use. Bowling pin shoots! He won many competitions and started selling his reloads. Soon he had a thriving business and started selling accessories and gun parts. This was just before the internet. He advertised in Guns and Ammo magazine and the like. Ernie Hill Speed Leather was a big seller for him. He made so much money he bought a Subway franchise in town early in their history. He and his partners own 6 or 7 stores now. A success story for sure.
