SSS Posted November 22, 2009 Report Share Posted November 22, 2009 Go for as many as possible, put down 1000 to keep and 800 to buy, the FLO will tell you whether you can have it or not. I put down exactly as above (but .22RF) and got 800 to keep and 600 to buy. Good luck with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CZ550Kevlar Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 Generally you are looking at 500 hold 300 purchase on expanding, i also got 500 to buy and 800 to hold on solid as the only way i can buy solid is a box of 500 at a time so Kent gave me extra.

cooter Posted November 23, 2009 Report Share Posted November 23, 2009 I would ask for 500 buy and 600 hold. That way you are going to be using the same batch for as long as possible, and have a better chance of consistency. You will get expanding automatically (or you should do) if you are applying for use on vermin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr lee Posted January 17, 2010 Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 Just an update! many thanks for the help! from the forum members! & just to say i got my F.A.C yesterday! 800 to hold! 600 to buy! Open ticket! Open ticket on a new FAC application? Are you 100% sure they gave you an open one? Very strange for them to open a new application instantly. Most recommend 18 months ( or at least West Yorks did for us) or good reason to issue an open ticket. Congrats though. Now comes the expensive part......

I'm guessing Paddy is your FEO. I got the new boy who told me I'd have to wait for my renewal to put in for expanding ammo as I was unlikely to get that on a first application. Luckily the office knew better and confirmed that they put expanding on by default for people applying for vermin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 "" "" for shooting Vermin, Ground Game and zeroing on ranges, or land deemed suitable by the chief officer of police for the area where the land is situated and over which the holder has lawful authority to shoot. Its not an open ticket then it's what they call semi open So, help me out here, why does that wording make it semi open? I'm struggling to see anything open or semi open about it, that is the normal restricted wording on a first grant! He can't shoot anywhere unless it has been police checked. Have I missed something??? Cheers!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeignGadger Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 mrgsm: Your FAC says that the police have to assess the land for safety. IE it is not an "open" cert, which is where YOU are the judge of whether it is safe to shoot over the land. In all cases though, you have to have permission to shoot on that land.. As for a "semi-open " cert: I have never heard of one of those. FG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted January 20, 2010 Report Share Posted January 20, 2010 never heard of semi open, its open or closed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
