DAVE A Posted January 22, 2015 Report Share Posted January 22, 2015 Hi all I have been experimenting with anew cam program for my lathe and decided to make some solid bullets, I have practised on brass with the intention of using pure copper for the final bullet but it has occurred to me that I don't know if I am even allowed to use them for target shooting , any advice on the legality of this would be welcome and if they are legal then maybe some design ideas to. Thanks Dave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mik Mak Posted January 23, 2015 Report Share Posted January 23, 2015 I am afraid the same rules apply to NRA range at Bisley as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alpha1 Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 why is that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurie Posted January 30, 2015 Report Share Posted January 30, 2015 why is that. A 'Match Rifle' competitor experimented with very long, high-BC monometal turned bullets at Bisley some years back. The butts crews reported splashbacks and ricochets and they were banned in pretty short order. Since that time, there were incidents involving 338 Lapua Magnum ricochets or bullets ending up outside of danger area boundaries which produced today's HME and other ballistic restrictions, and a general concern over this issue in MoD circles. So, high-performance ammunition firing very streamlined, very hard projectiles is unwelcome on 'ordinary' smallarms land ranges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
