Thank you for the replies.  I appreciate the help in making the decision to get FFL03.  I guess I was just a bit paranoid about the inspection process.  Did the inspection just involve the record keeping or did they look at the storage facilities also?  I reload for many different calibers and was wondering if they inspected everything?

It is just an inspection of your bound book.  I did not show her my storage facilities, nor did I show her any firearm.  For the record, she didn't ask to see anything other that my records.

I honestly think that they use the inspections to make sure you aren't buying a large number of C&R firearms and then selling them.

With a C&R, on the off chance you do get contacted for an inspection, you can, at your option, have the inspection at the local ATF office.  All you need to bring is your bound book.
