Moorlander Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 I was wondering if an RFD can load up ammo for customers ? I`ve not seen any shops offering "shop" loaded ammo or any other smaller businesses in the UK offering their own brand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grum87 Posted February 13, 2018 Report Share Posted February 13, 2018 There are RFD's that manufacture ammo tailored to customers rifles or requirements. I believe the loads need to be proof tested to see they comply with CIP standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you ever see an HPS loaded TargetMaster round, there is a tiny letter stamped onto the primer cup, apparently showing the load having been proof house tested and within SAAMI or CIP compliance.

It's purely voluntary It is a good idea to get it tested for compliance and it isn't difficult, however........to manufacture ammo for sale you have to be registered with the HSE as an explosives manufacturer, have the premises licensed and approved, have the required clearance between dwellings and have very very good liability insurance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
