They also have the human tablets as well.
Called Imove, I believe.
I was told about Yumove by someone whose 3-year-old dog had been treated by the vet for 10 months and could only walk on 3 legs, but was walking normally within 2 weeks of starting the Yumove treatment.

Just visited a well respected riflesmith who says assembled rounds and expanding bullets are separated on his F.A.C. There was another customer there at the the time and he said the same.

Get a mould and cast your own slugs.

Handy to keep the old paper one if you are going to France, I'm told.

Do/would they make a 3-4 cartridge version?

Some choose to have these separated (you can talk this over with your FEO as there's no law against wording the certificate that way) but I dont really see the point.
The point is that the FEO, whose decisions are safeguarding the public, would/should be happier to allow 300 assembled rounds + 1000 loose expanding heads to be kept, than allowing 1300 assembled rounds, as could be the result of just having one combined amount/limit. I have, in the past, been allowed to hold 1200 .223 and 1200 .308 rounds, so that I could buy batches of 1000 to get cases of the same batch for reloading.

Some people have said that their loaded rounds limit is separated from their expanding bullets limit on their FAC, but no PW members, it seems.
-
If there are that many, I suspect they are Rooks. Try slices of white bread instead of decoys, but keep out of sight, wear gloves and face net.

Could you tell us the best way to pay to safeguard against this
Many thanks

I have not long upped my 22cf count from 500 to 700 as I have 2 x 22.250 both different twists. No problem with my feo.
My 30 I have 300 as that is sufficient for my needs.
17 cf I have 300 also.
For both my rf 17hmr and 22 LR I have 1100 for each.
That's the sort of answer I was asking for. I have no qualms about the number of loaded rounds being low, but when you go to shows only a couple of times a year, it's nice to be able to try the different bullets that might be available.
Nice to have found out that 'Tipped' Match Kings are not classed as expanding, as opposed to Nosler Ballistic 'Tips'.

For 223, with H4895 and the 53gr V-max, I started at 24.0 grains, then going up in 0.5 increments.
Steyr Mannlicher SL with 1:9 twist rate
24.0 3" group with 5 rounds.
24.5 3" group
25.0 absolutely fantastic. 5 rounds within 1.2"
25.5 back to 3" group
26.0 3" group
Went back home, loaded another 20 rounds at 25.0 grains. Two weeks later back on the range, and it was still as good as I'm likely to see.
If I'm on MOD ranges, it's exactly the same load, but a Hornady Match 52 grain bullet. Which seems to have exactly the same zero.
Do I know the actual velocity ? No.
Do I care ? No.
I know my holdovers/unders out to 200 metres from practice, and that it knocks down foxes every single time as long as I do my bit.
Why chase it any further ?
For .308 on deer, I use a Hornady Interlock 165 grain bullet, being pushed by 44.0 grains of H4895. That took about 30 rounds to find the sweet spot, and then another 20 rounds of confirmation.
For MOD ranges, that changes to a 168 grain Match bullet, with no appreciable change in zero.
I use Federal Champion primers.
So I need to buy 2 types of primers, 1 type of powder, and 4 types of bullets, to do all of my shooting out to 300 metres, which is as far as I can shoot on MOD Sealand, and further than any shot I'm going to take on a deer or foxes.
As I say, people seem to go about it the wrong way. The best way of getting better is rounds down the range. Not chasing some mythical perfect load.
Maybe that load measured to 0.02 grains matters to the really world class shooters out to insane distances. But even to them reading wind and conditions means a lot. To 99% or more of us, time on the trigger matters more than anything else.
Shooting is like any other sport - golf, for example. You get better the more you do, the more you practice. So golfers spend time on the driving range. I spend time putting holes in paper, because it means I'm more comfortable with the rifle when it's a fox, or a deer, or (for the 22LR or my air rifle) rabbits, corvids, rats, etc.
Sounds like you were lucky enough to choose exactly the right powder and bullet first time.

How did you reference that to what I said?
My question was about reloading, and your first reply was about amounts for .22 lr.
-
-
250 each C/F (.223, 257 Roberts, 7x64 and 9.3x62) and 1,000 .22lr
Including c/f expanding bullets?
-
My allowance is 300 of 223, 300 of 308.
As you say, it might seem low, but it isn't really. When I was doing load development for 223 I bought a box of 53gr in V-max, and loaded 5 sets of 5 powder weights for testing. From that, I had a load that was basically perfect, the only limiting factor being me.
The problems come when people try 'chasing the dragon'. That elusive creature of perfect accuracy. The best way of being more accurate is through practice, putting rounds down the range
I suspect most people would think you were very lucky to get away with one packet of bullets to arrive at your perfect round.
It's not ALL to do with accuracy though. Different weights for different quary, especially in .308, might come into it.
-
get a nut splitter......
My first thought.
-
Why do you want to know what everyone has its not the same - depends on your ask and your reason you want that amount
Std is 600 per rf and 2-300 per cf but a lot depends on a lot
Have known persons in my own area been refused what I have and also allowed substantially more
Point is ask for what you want / need
Let's face it " need and security conditions" are the factors
I don't know anyone reloading rimfire.
-
A lot of depts wont issue exp >>IF >> you only go on ranges >> AND >> SOME ranges wont allow EXP to be used on range. I dont know any logical explanation for this. When testing field loads you will get through a fair amount. I've never had any problem with allocation amounts. ~Who counts anyway? You shot them all off and need more.
Never been checked on ranges.
I think a lot of people will/must buy as many as they like and just hide them away.
-
If you practise on the range with expanding bullets that you would use in the field, FMJ doesn't come into it.
-
you can keep what your individual fac allows i for instance have a allowance to hold 300 rounds ,so if i had 200 expanding heads( /ie non target) i could only have 100 say factory rounds or reloaded rounds.
300, that's the sort of answer I was after. Seems low, considering the various weights and types of bullets that might be used in working up loads.
-
Oh I see. 600 rf, and 300 each for my c/fs.
Seems low for c/fs.
-
It has to be done on an individual basis. A competitive serious 22 prone shooter etc
Will travel abroad to test ammo and buy in large quantities ( fair do it's important and they might have 5000 on thier allowance. Most 22 lr vermin shooters will have say 600 or so ( it does most fine) it's less than an hour to the RFD and at a push I will use a few of most things
Another non-answer.

I got a real buzz from reading that.
