Epic Fail Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 i have started reloading .38 and .357 rounds the last week or so and have read on here a while back that some people write their own loads onto their own licence to keep the bobbies happy when you come to renew now i have loaded 450 and shot 300 odd since the 20th september (down the range 2 or 3 nights a week) this is quite a lot i think (about the same usage i have out of my .22 rifle) as i have got the cost to 9 or 10p per bullet these are just standard lead, non expanding my buy and keep limits are 400 and 600 do many people write their home loads on themselfes ? and if so what do you write ? thanks angelo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Epic Fail Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 (edited) also i do keep my own little book of dates and times every firearm i own and serials everything i buy and sell to do with the guns (ammo, heads, powder.. etc) when and who i buy/sell to and their name and cert number when i load rounds + ammount when and where i shoot rounds + ammounts and with what rifle/shotgun variations (dates) i keep this for my records only but could be used to prove my usage and also where and when i was shooting Edited October 6, 2009 by angelotambini Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vince Green Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 I don't but I keep the receipt for what I buy, bullets powder and primers. That way I can prove I have been buying them but I have never had to show them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epic Fail Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 i think i would need a new one too at the rate i go through ammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lineshooter Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 My RFD records my details everytime I buy powder so if anyone wanted to check I was reloading I`d refer them to that. I also would soon run out of paper with the amount I reload, but I see nothing wrong with keeping a record for your own purposes. What loads and heads are you using?

Epic Fail Posted October 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 i have thought of that one but my press does not have anything to catch them as they are pushed out... some of them go onto my desk, some onto the floor and some go ino the body of the press its self... so would take me a long time to get them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 So what if you have to get a new licence every so often ? At least if you have a problem at least there is some record of the ammo and usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harv Posted October 6, 2009 Report Share Posted October 6, 2009 You are not required to record homeloads on your cert so why do so? you could actually set a precedent that the feo could question in the future? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
