    What’s wrong is tho the fact when I loose my 243 ground I will loose the gun even with my open ticket . It’s stupid . 
     

    If you have nowhere to shoot over then you have no reason for a gun. If you were a member of a shooting club or regularly visited a range or could prove you went on paid stalks (for example) then you could.

    Nothing stupid about that IMO.

    <snip> Regarding the diagram above..... where's the 'Head' so commonly incorrectly used these days ?

    It starts off as a lack of knowledge or understanding (didn't we all ?) and then it migrates into ignorance and finally stupidity.
    Those who continue to call bullets by the wrong name fall into the later category, or are pandering to them.

    Although I am not into rifles as much as some people I do have a .22lr on an open ticket, my understand of the term “open” means I can shoot with this rifle on any land (approved or not) that I feel safe to-do so, or am I wrong? [A]

    This question is for those with a lot more knowledge than me, if you have an open ticket with a number of calibres on it to shoot anything from a rabbit to a red deer do you still need the land approved for that calibre? [B]

     

    With an 'open ticket' you are authorised to use the firearms and ammunition (identified on your certificate) to shoot all lawful quarry and for zeroing and practice on ranges and land, over which the holder has lawful authority to shoot.

    This is the normal in Scotland.

    You are of course responsible for where you shoot and to ensure that you are not presenting any danger to anyone else. So [A] you are not wrong and [B] No the land doesn't need to be 'approved' if you have an 'open ticket' and lawful authority to shoot on/over that land.

    Now that you have informed them that the road in (such) a state of repair that will cause damage to vehicles using it they have to repair it (or instruct a competent person to repair it) ... as you have satisfied the condition (2d) "whether the highway authority knew, or could reasonably have been expected to know, that the condition of the part of the highway to which the action relates was likely to cause danger to users of the highway;"

    The next time it happens .....

  22. .17hmr Sak on .22lr

    Measure the outlet hole ....... if it is larger than 5.6mm then yes you can use it on a .22 rimfire

    A 17HMR bullet is 4.4mm in diameter and often manufacturers use the Bore=Dx1.2 rule.
    If SAK have then the outhole/bore will only be 5.3mm which is too small.

    Wait, what was the question again?

    It was (post #1) " any information on how much of each calibre you're allowed to keep and does the ammo have to be stored in a separate locked box to the guns"

    However since then the OP has said  "The ammount of ammo allowed to be kept (fac) I will leave out." and "I have the legislation written In front of me" so (I presume) he now has the answer to his "stored ammo" question (?) and indeed most of his other questions ??

    Have you any 'open' questions @leesmithyt33 ?

    but owning guns in the UK is taboo or it is in my limited experience 


    And that about sum's this whole thread up, your experience isn't just limited, it's non-existent (as in 'you don't have any').
    The ownership and licensing of firearms in the uk is legislated. It is covered (in detail) by the Firearms Act 1968 and its subsequent updates (the latest being issued on Dec 20th this year).
    The Scottish Government has devolved powers relating to the Act and new statutory guidance for Chief Officers of the Police were issued on Dec 16th 2021

    There is a very small element of 'at the discretion of' given to chief police officers however almost every angle is covered by either the Act or the Statutory Guidance.
