It's been more than 30 years since I reloaded ammo on a commercial basis so I don't know what rule changes have been made by the BATFE.
I always insisted on havig th gun in question when doig a job and thank God, never had a gun mishap with my loads. Liabilty insurance id damnably expensive too.
I do not reload for friends unless my rules are adhered to and then very rarely.
The last time was for my ex-son in law when he bought his new Winchester
M70 Featherweight in .300 WSM. We decided on what powder he wanted to use and what bullet and I sent him to shop around and get the components.
After the ammo was loaded up, we went to the range and ran them over the Chrony and shot for groups at the same time. Once that was done, we got more components and I then ran him through the various steps after which he loaded his own ammo on my equipment. He then bought his own tools to do the job and has been reloading ever since.
If I understand it correctly, as long as your friend furnishes all the components, you should be legal in assembling the ammo. But if you furnish just one thing, let's say the primers, then you run into trouble. it's no problem to contact the BATFE and ask. I've done this even when I aleady as positive on the correct answer and they've never told me otherwise.
