Rst1990 Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 Phoned up a local rfd to where I'm working and asked if he had any cci cb long in stock was told yes so popped down when work finished. He showed me the box and says this is them £8.00 for 100 it's my last box, gave him my fac to do paper work, he wrote down date, store name and number then stopped writing and started flicking through the pages on my ticket, asked if there was a problem he then said to me sorry I can't sell you these as you are only allowed expanding ammunition this isn't expanding it hasn't got a hole in the tip!! I said to him that it was subsonic and lead tipped so will expand when it makes impact, was told no so left with half a written line on my fac :-( Is this right? Can I not get these?

Andy H Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 you can always buy fmj or lead and then hollow point /expanding is an add on extra not the other way around , Your rfd must be a bit confused. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted September 9, 2014 Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 No you have a special dispensation to buy and hold expanding (which was effectively outlawed following Hungerford) you can still by non expanding, in fact if you were buying bullet heads only (ie not made into a live round) you could my them by the millions if you wanted. Your RFD needs training Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still on the look out for cci low power ammo also segmenting rounds and stingers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
