I guess I wasn't aware of age requirements to buy reloading components

18 should be legal age to buy loading stuff....

Also, I’ve seen on multiple sites that you must be 21 to order ammunition, that’s another reason I had questions

I'm a part time gun dealer that specializes in bulk bullets for reloading. I ship all over the country. One thing I've learned is that some places in this country have some really strange laws when it comes to reloading components. The best way to figure out what's legal where you are is to go to a local shop that sells reloading supplies and just ask questions. The Old Timers there will fill you in.

You have to be 21 to purchase handgun ammunition, but other than that 18 usually applies. I'm not even sure I've ever had to fill out anything when buying components. i.e. when at Cabelas buying ammo, they ask for your DOB. Just take into consideration that if you buy primers and powder online, you may need someone 21+ to sign for the Hazmat delivery (Honestly not sure on this, as it popped up on my brief search).

I turned 26 earlier this year and I'm also trying to start loading for the Grendel. Already load a few handgun calibers too, so just trying to find the time. Good Luck and hope you are able to get started soon!

I knew about being 21 to buy handgun ammo, been denied trying to buy 9mm for my dad plenty of times, just was unsure when it came to reloading components. Thanks for all the info guys!

You shouldn't have a problem buying reloading components in Texas as long as you are 18 or older.

You're right. I didn't notice he was from TX. You shouldn't have any problems.

What part of Texas are you from. There are quite a few of us from Texas on this forum that reload.
