I am just curious about license costs. I have grown weary of trying to find the costs on the ATF website. I understand the first year fee is higher then subsequent years...true? Thanks in advance.....

Hate to hijack the thread, but I was reading the different types of FFLs. Is reloading considered "manufacturing ammo"?
Only if you sell it.

This is the section number where you can read the whole explanation:
18 U.S.C 923(a)(1)(C)
TITLE 18 > PART I > CHAPTER 44 > ? 923
? 923. Licensing
(a) No person shall engage in the business of importing, manufacturing, or dealing in firearms, or importing or manufacturing ammunition, until he has filed an application with and received a license to do so from the Attorney General. The application shall be in such form and contain only that information necessary to determine eligibility for licensing as the Attorney General shall by regulation prescribe and shall include a photograph and fingerprints of the applicant. Each applicant shall pay a fee for obtaining such a license, a separate fee being required for each place in which the applicant is to do business, as follows:
(1) If the applicant is a manufacturer-
(A) of destructive devices, ammunition for destructive devices or armor piercing ammunition, a fee of $1,000 per year;
(B) of firearms other than destructive devices, a fee of $50 per year; or
(C) of ammunition for firearms, other than ammunition for destructive devices or armor piercing ammunition, a fee of $10 per year.
In essence, the qualification is if you are doing it for others, with the intention of making a profit, whether you make a profit or not. Making your own ammunition for your personal use does not require a fee.
Best.
