At the risk of opening a can of worms what would be involved?
This would be producing 357 target loads for club members in club marlins.
I assume some form of third party insurance and the loads proof tested.
Is it that simple?

Re: Commercially loading ammo
You most definately need liability insurance, also you can only sell to full members of your club. I would recommend that ammunition is sent to the Birmingham Proof house for testing,(London proof house does not test ammunition). Proof house testing is only valid for that particular batch/run of ammunition and for the components that make up that batch of ammunition.
What you are intending doing is not the commercial loading of ammunition in the true sense, but a service to your club members. At least one of the major Bisley based clubs has been doing this for the past year for its members. It is producing match quality .308 ammunition that out performs RWS .308 at a fraction of the price. Arranging insurance can be problematical and the NRA insurance does not cover loading ammunition for third parties.

Concur.
If you are selling handloaded ammunition you really do need to check out the HSE regs, I seem to recall that the rounds need to be pressure tested as does their means of packing for transportation none of which is cheap. As well as any liability insurance, which could also be expensive.
