hi

expanding heads count to you allotment,

but match do not.

I would argue the case with you COL as I believe that you can hold as many heads as you want as they are not considered to be a round (expanding or otherwise) until they are loaded. They do however have to be treated as loaded ammo, so the expanding heads must be locked away at all times. I verified this with my RFD previously as well.

 

I will try to find the legislation to back up or destroy my arguement.

As far as I am aware most forces do things differently to one another (as in there is no common ground)

 

However, this is my understanding of this topic:

 

Sect 5 (expanding bullets - heads and / or loaded ammuntion)

 

THIS COUNTS whether, LOADED or in COMPONANT form.

 

So if your permission to hold is 200, and you have 50 loaded and 150 bullet "heads" in their packet, you cannot legaly posses any more.

 

Non expanding (target / match ammo) - fill your boots, as many as you wish.

 

 

Crazy eh?

Have a look at this link.

 

firearms law

 

I think I was wrong but it is not the clearest written material that I have put my eyes across. The para of interest is 3.17 on p.11.

 

But my original statement was driven from the info from my FLO. We are all human I suppose.

My FLO confirmed today that its only assembled components that count as far as he is concerned.

Category (xv) extends the prohibition

on the various types of prohibited

ammunition to the actual bullet or missile

itself, not just the complete round of

ammunition (a complete round consists of

the bullet, the cartridge case, the propellant

and the primer). Certain categories of shooter

such as deerstalkers and vermin controllers

are exempt from the requirement to obtain

the authority of the Secretary of State to

possess expanding ammunition (see Chapter

4) and will have the appropriate condition

entered on their certificate (see Appendix 3).

There is no need for the bullets to be listed

separately on the certificate, other than in the

circumstances described below. However,

where a certificate holder requests large

quantities of bullets, it should be remembered

that the total number of bullets authorised

 

 

counts towards their overall limit on

possession of expanding ammunition. The

exception to the rule on listing bullets

separately on a certificate applies in the case

of a certificate holder who wishes to possess

a variety of different types of bullets. This

may be reflected in a relatively higher

overall limit on possession and, in these

circumstances, the bullets may be listed

separately to help avoid unnecessary

stockpiling of complete rounds. It is not

necessary for the dealer making the sale to

record transactions of expanding bullets on

the certificate but the sale should be recorded

in the dealer’s register.

 

 

i think this says it all dont you
