I seem to recall you need some sort of licence if reloading and selling professionally which effectively you are if charging for the service, as apposed to just selling some ammo. Yeah, I know, no one will find out wink wink. But people talk "oh yeah so and so loads for me". And it's also something I wouldn't want the taxman coming visiting about.

The needing a licence I tried to find but gave up as I too have given up "helping" it's not worth the hassle for virtually zilch return.

I avoid doing it now but if I have to I keep it to getting meat and beer in return. No money. And the mate gets to attend the range sessions. Mine have generally been mates starting out and an outcome of the exercise is they are set up to continue doing it themselves.
