MiLisCer Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 No - you can only purchase expanding ammo if your FAC is conditioned to allow the purchase & Use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonathanL Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 As previous replies; you can only acquire it if your cert authorises it. You can only be authorised to acquire it for specific purposes and target shooting is not one of them. It's an utterly pointless situation which even the police have recommended should be changed. J.

station Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 As others have said - no you can't unless stated on your FAC. At one time you could, but then they deemed target shooting was not a sufficient enough cause to have expanding ammo. Absolutely nutts !

bedwards1966 Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 If you could buy some, what would you like to do with it? If your needing to shoot vermin, you'll need your rifles conditioned for that too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
