Wonder what happens then if there is an accident with a "club loaded" round???Who is responsible??Do they mean maybe that you can load your own rounds on the club premisis??Using your own equipment,etc?

Yeah youd be loading your own i guess, it would be hard to trust some folks
with loading your ammo, a lad in the north was helping a guy to get sarted in reloading and he provided the lad with powder start weights for a particular powder /bullet weight combination in a 6.5 swede. The lad gets back to him saying that he has several loads ready for testing and asks the more experienced lad to fire them- so the advisor begins to go over the loads and soon discovers that the lad hasnt taken any notes on the loads and has a bit of difficulty when hes asked what powder weights he used and the difference in each load by weightThe lad gets suspicious and gets out the kinetic hammer and pulls the first bullet to reweight the powder only to discover thats its 25 percent too heavy.
the moral of the story is if your pulling the trigger you do the loading

So it's nearly a year since this thread was started and we have gotten no further.

Anyone have any news on it?

Alls quiet on the reloading front

Just heard that the Midlands Rifle Club have been granted a licence to reload ammo, in preparation for the 2011 Creedmore Cup, this is to allow them to compete on a level playing field against overseas competitors...

What does it mean 'the club'? Does your reloading have to be done there (at the club) or can members do it in there own time at home?
Might be a step closer

it mean all kinds of things, i would imagine the club has an import licence from DOJ for the components but id say there are one or two named individuals who are to reload, this might pave the way to better things and its a start
