Reload or sell my Grendel upper?

[Cotay]

All serious shooters in California really should consider both reloading and obtaining an 03FFL/COE.

Reloading makes obvious sense due to the price of factory lead-free rounds and it gives you some headroom during ammo shortages. Plus, it's just fun to work up loads and squeeze accuracy out of your rifles.

The other option is to obtain your 03 Federal Firearms License (Curio & Relic) and a Certificate of Eligibility (COE) from the CA Department of Justice. Once you have both your 03FFL & COE in place, you can purchase ammo online from non-California sellers still willing to ship to California since 03FFL/COE holders are expressly exempt from the ammo laws prohibiting online purchases from out-of-state vendors. Purchased ammo goes straight to your home and no background check is required (the COE is essentially an annual pre-background check). Calguns.com maintains a list of vendors still willing to ship to 03FFL/COE holders...it includes the likes of Brownells and Palmetto State Armory.

I left California for good last November, but I did both while I was there.
