blackbird Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 How many .22lr rounds do you guys go through in a year for pest control I have hold 600 rounds and purchase 500 on my Fac but I only go through 150/200 a year. My question is will my flo give me a hard time on renewal with that amount of ammo usage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My question is will my flo give me a hard time on renewal with that amount of ammo usage No they won't give you a hard time. It's cheaper to buy them in 500 bricks, so there's your reason for 500 buy. I probably do 3-400 rounds a year and I think my allocation is 500/1000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogey Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Just had my FAC renewed and they never even looked at or mentioned ammo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billy. Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Had a quick look over the law book last night and bulk buying is a good reason for a large quantity of ammo. Things do differ though, when you ask for loads of C/F ammo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dekers Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 The answer to the original question should be NO, that usage should not be a problem. As to how many anyone else uses, it's all pretty irrelevant. I guess I get through between 1000-3000 .22lr per year, depends on what work is suitable for them, how much range work I do and how much I have to use other calibres.

al4x Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 so runningman thats 60 rounds a day blimey you must like plinking, with a .22lr I reckon it would bore me senseless. To the OP that will be fine you are using it and thats a reasonable amount of rabbits to eat after all. I had the suggestion to use more if I wanted to keep my allocation but at renewal it never came up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kent Posted January 4, 2011 Report Share Posted January 4, 2011 A 500 round brick with 100 spare is very reasonable. I cannot imagine having ground that meant i fired a few thousand .22 a year - unless i was a very poor shot I am very guilty of no longer spending much time in pur practice but there are some serious numbers going on here if its all on quarry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vmax55 Posted January 6, 2011 Report Share Posted January 6, 2011 1000 - 1200 rounds approx a year on rabbits and rats mostly for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the suggestion to use more if I wanted to keep my allocation but at renewal it never came up. I think you'll find that those of us who shoot a lot of comps and practice a lot for them soon work our way thru a thousand rounds. Combine that with a hefty amount of rabbit and vermin control work and it soon starts to add up. With the way top end competition ammunitions prices are going its getting to be a very expensive shooting hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
