Well done, enjoy the hobby, been a ham since 1990. Dont be put off by HF, most rigs just have plenty of bells and whistles on them, just remember to read the band plans and you will be fine. The hobby is so vast you will never get bored with it, not been on two meters for years. Just use 160, 80 and 40mtrs SSB and CW.

The clause regarding hand loading isn't new and it was raised on my RCO course two years ago.  I think DaveT has it about right, arse covering and insurance.

The rules are: if the RCO suspects the ammo is out of range limits he/she should ask/order the shooter to stop using it.  The RCO's word is final on the range.

It's about trusting the shooters to comply with Range Orders for MV and ME.  For example a hot load .308 in a long barrel may well just stray into HME territory,  the RCO can't "detect" that but if there's suspicion then the RCO just stops that shooter.  If the shooter wants to make a complaint then they should be prepared to submit rounds for testing (and that's highly unlikely in my opinion).  We had a chap shooting .243 which, with a light bullet, is over R.O. MV at Kingsbury (MV <1000m/s).  I took his word for the fact that he had chrono'd his loads and they were just under 1000m/s  - he was a known, trustworthy person.  If he was an unknown I would have asked him to stop using the rifle.  If he declined to agree I would have instructed him to stop.  If he argued he would be sent off the range and reported.

I guess if you had a chrono available on the range it could be set up and verified but what a faff.

Its very simple from an RCO point of view is that he or she has full responsibility for conducting the range and complying with the range orders (non negotiable).Should something go wrong it's the RCO that completes all the paperwork when all the shooters have gone home. 

If it is found that hme tests have not been undertaken when required it is the RCO who is called to task. Even worse if the round leaves the danger area or an action fails  and causes injury everybody is in a world of pain.

We are all classed as competent shooters and this will probably be the first question asked in any inquiry of which you will have to answer ,"yes" or you have admitted you are not. The second question could be tell me what speed or energy your round was? If you know fine. If you don't they will refer you back to your original answer of being competent and perhaps challenge  the answer you gave.

As an RCO of course  I am going to cover my back when conducting on ranges as I will probably be the first person to face an enquiry.
