dunganick Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 .22lr buy 1000 hold 1500 .223 buy 1000 hold 1500 The rimfire is now buy 1500 and hold 2200 I have no need what so ever for this amount of .223 ammo, 300 to hold would be more than enough for a handloader. I only have 100 cases in .223 so i cant actually make any more ammo than that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dunkield Posted June 21, 2006 Report Share Posted June 21, 2006 FT, Your FEO will also guide you on this one, I put down what I thought was ample and he told me to double up on everything I had put I was my mates referee, so I have spoken to your bloke and he is top man from what I remember. Normal reasons for upping the quantities are, amount of use (obviously) but also batch consistancy, price break and distance to nearest reasonable sized dealer. You don't have to pay a variation to up the amount you initially get by the way, they will do that FOC if you demonstrate you are getting through it too quickly - in the case that you don't get what you wanted first time round.

Cheers Stuart, when our FEO (Mark Hudson) came out to look at my new shotgun and cabinet we got talking about deer! He is a stalker himself and was full of good advice and he encouraged me to have a go myself. I have been out on two expeditions for roe with a friend who is a DSC2, so far no joy but I will keep trying! Ft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
