I don't currently do it but I have a lot in the past. Mostly for friends and people that I know. These all wanted good, accurate loads for their rifle to hunt with.
My stipulations, they buy the powder, bullets, primers and supply the cases and give me their rifle to develp the load in. I cleaned the rifle like it was my own, with my supplies. They usually shot me a few bucks or left the remainder of the supplies with me.
It was a win-win situation for me. I love to shoot and I love to reload. JohnnyK.

would anyone consider reloading for someone else

I only reload for one other person he's my varmint partner been doing that for years. I started when I was roping down his place. He taken me few times on some of the ranches he knew and he was shooting some factory ammo so I told let take your rifle get some loads worked. He wanted to pay me for them and I told Dick you don't charge me to rope your cattle or help with the feed or split cost on the cattle.

I quit roping few year back we still have same deal and Dick tried to pay me and I told we use your ranch truck/gas you won't let me at least buy that and I got to fight like hell with you over
buying you lunch or breakfast.

If I'm related to them I have shared a box of 30-06 that shoots well for me. Try it and bring your brass and gun later.... or after hunting season. 30-30 also but its been a while. [45-70 are Full House and stay to my Marlin]

Spring I offered to help a friend develop a load for his 30-378 Wby Mag. His components, we will be using my press and I have 600+ yards to shoot. With this I feel no liability as reloading is a known inherent danger.

Manufacturing ammo, pretty sure requires a BATF lic. even for 1 round.
