royden Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Forgive me if this question has been asked before but does anyone know what is the biggest shot size that can be owned on a section 2 licence.? Also do I have to deactivate cartridges that are to be used in a display case and if so any suggestions as to the best way to do it. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AYA117 Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I think the law is a minimum of 6 projectiles to be section2 , which is a standard LG load, there is no requirement to deactivate the shells for display, but if you sell it then the purchaser must have a valid SGC.

Zapp Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 I seem to recall it's 5 projectiles of .36 calibre but cant remember from where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoBodyImportant Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 So you have to have a license to buy certain ammo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a licence for everything except airgun pellets over here, when I was hunting on your side of the pond the shells went through Wallmarts check out with the rest of the shopping.

I’m guessing slugs would be considered rifle rounds? If I have a shotgun certificate I can buy shot shells right?

AYA117 Posted July 3, 2019 Report Share Posted July 3, 2019 Oh yeah, you have no idea how lucky you guys are, but on the flip side we have long seasons and no bag limits. Oh and we have no public hunting except on the shore and that is not everywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the liberals keep at it I will only be able to hunt dove with a slingshot on the second Tuesday of November from 12pm to 3pm. Plus you guys don’t have to pay $200 tax on a suppressor.

royden Posted July 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 Thanks for the replies guys I wasn't quite sure how it worked . I was recently given some old LG cartridges and was unsure if I would have to destroy them. With regards to buying cartridges my wife who has never had a SGC used to collect them for me from the local ironmongers back in the 70s. Now I have to show my SGC to purchase them but can then give them to my wife who would then be in legal possession of them......for some reason though she said she prefers flowers...…..women eh.. My point is at what stage would anyone be in illegal possession of standard shotgun ammo in the UK. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cookoff013 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 s2 shells need to have 5 or more pieces of shot. no bigger than 9mm i think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow243 Posted July 4, 2019 Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 i dont think its changed that you dont need a shotgun certificate to have shotgun cartridges unless they are not section 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cervusman Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 In some cases if you have a criminal record you can not own shotgun cartridges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbyduck Posted July 17, 2019 Report Share Posted July 17, 2019 I was led to believe it was the bore size of the gun ! a LG in 410 would not be far off section 1 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
