So I was approached by a buddy today with a proposition. He is a .44 magnum shooter, but is not a handloader. He was lamenting over the cost of factory ammo, and we got to talking about handloading.
I was talking to him about the virtues of shooting your own reloads, mostly as it relates to cost. As we talked further, he proposed the idea of paying me to make handloads for him, provided that he provides the components. I even jokingly asked him if I'd be responsible if his gun blew up. He laughed and said of course not, and would even sign a waiver if I wanted him to.
So I guess my questions are, first, is there any law saying I can't produce handloads for a friend at a small labor fee?
Second, what the heck is a reasonable price to charge someone for something like this? Since he's already providing the cost of components, all I will I'm really providing is the equipment and labor. What do you think?
