important question

[duckthecat]

I am hopefully going to start a business. load disarmed bullets with cremated remains. The current option will be as a necklace or keychain. These are real bullets (no primer or powder) filled by my company. My question is what do you feel would be a good cost for this.

Depends on the caliber of bullet. My guess would be that people that would want to purchase these would want a caliber that the deceased liked. IE if a rifle shooter the would want whatever cartridge he liked to shoot. That would mean being set up to load almost any caliber which would be expensive in dies and having the inventory of brass and empty cartridges. If you are going to decide which cartridges to load I think sales would suffer but cost would go WAY down due to lack of needed inventory. Cheap loader will run you a little over $100. Die sets might average about $50 a set for each caliber. Bullets depend a LOT on caliber but lets say $50 a box of 100 as an average and brass in the area of 30 cents each if purchased 500 at a time. Might also want to consider highly polishing them and clear coating them so they don't tarnish after the sale.

Why limit yourself to bullets?? Consider creating ANY kind of jewelry with a loved one's ashes in it.

P.S. I got a feeling you may have blown patent coverage by posting this. It's an idea that is both novel and has utility. Those are the two key elements. It's gone now.

There is already a company that does this sort of thing. As soon as im at a computer I will share link. If I remember correctly it is pretty spendy. I will be doing this with my remains once I pass. Jewelry and bullets. I should rephrase that my family will have my remains sent off for this.

A good price is one that will bring you a profit that your willing to accept, if not then there's no point in doing it. It sounds like you haven't figured out what it will cost you to do this, tools, marketing, supplies, time, etc....

Well, in that case, free sounds pretty dang good to me.

Just a thought, but most people that are into this hobby have plenty of friends with same interests. Why would the surviving family not ask a family friend to load some of these rounds for free?
