pigeon pete Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 hi all i emailed the BASC today to find out what the law is on how much ammo you can have if your a home loader they sent this link http://www.basc.org.uk/en/utilities/document-summary.cfm/docid/A897A67F-8012-4B56-86FA7138DFFC3197 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 its simple you can possess whatever you have written on your ticket and buy in the number written on it. For reloading purposes expanding ammo counts non expanding doesn't Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikaveli Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 its simple you can possess whatever you have written on your ticket and buy in the number written on it. For reloading purposes expanding ammo counts non expanding doesn't +1 - I read the BASC document they gave you the link to, it's very helpful. Any expanding bullet, whether fully assembled into a live round (cased, primed etc.) or not counts towards your allowance. Normal, solid 'missiles' only count towards your ammo allowance when fully assembled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like polymer tipped heads as apposed to say a full copper jacket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bewsher500 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 expanding refers to ammo designed to expand in a controlled manner Its all b0ll0cks but pretty much anything that is not full metal jacket or target oriented is expanding (Vmax, soft point etc is expanding) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
