Can you share homeloads or do you need to be a RFD?

I've done it on the past...38/44 (using cut down .357 Maximum cases that I shortened) for a friend's Smith & Wesson so before the Tory handgun ban. But not since. He used to do fairly well with it at Bisley too.

Imagine you should be entering the complete rounds on his FAC, but. I need to be an RFD.
General rule of thumb though is NEVER USE SOMEONE ELSES RELOADS
Reason is personal safety, and if you blow their face off by double charging or other, there could be legal repercussions

Far better to instruct your freind in the noble art of handholding. If, subsequently, he should choose to leave a 'drink' for you behind the bar of The Artists Clubhouse, who are you to turn it down?

Easier if he supplies you with the consumables and you load for him, you will be liable if anything goes wrong though.
Why can't it be sold at a profit?

Plenty people have mates load for them . It’s common and in reality is not an issue.
Price of ammo it’s likely to get even more common

No. You are setting yourself up as a commercial reloader. You would need liability insurance which you would almost certainly not get and to have your loadings proof tested. For an RFD its a different matter. If your friend is with you and is part of the loading process that is fine.
Sounds like the feo wanted a free bit of instruction

To sell ammunition legally, you generally need to be registered as a Registered Firearms Dealer (RFD).
- If you are not an RFD, you can sell ammunition to another FAC holder, provided both parties have the necessary authority on their certificates.
- However, if you are selling regularly or in a commercial capacity, you will need to register as an RFD.
- It is illegal to sell ammunition without the proper registration, so ensure you comply with the regulations.
- For more detailed guidance, you may want to consult local laws or a firearms dealer's guide.
