CZ550Kevlar Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I went to top up on ammunition today before I send my licence in for renewal. got 80 .223 in various makes, 100 vmax .223 heads, 100 .17hmr and 500 .22 subs. All expanding, gave him my licence and paid for everything, I've looked at my licence and he has only noted 80 x .223 what should I do? Never come across this before apart from one time bought some .223 vmax heads from another dealer and I he didn't put them on my licence, he said he didn't need to so I put them on but my licensing officer wasn't fussed. Before anyone asks I haven't gone to Kent Firearms team as I don't want to get anyone in trouble, not that I owe them anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) No longer need to list bullet heads as far as i am aware but he shoukd have noted subs, just add subs youself.

Just had a renewal today, and they spoke to me about bullet (heads) and range ammo that hasnt been put on ticket. Get he shop to enter the bullets on, they dont have to , but you can ask for it. Keep the receipts for the ammo, anything that can prove you have used or made ammunition , just to keep your usage stats right. 3 minutes ago, terence said: dont think youre allowed to make entries onto your own ticket Possibly not , but if theres room next to the shops entry ... Like I say , receipts to back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oowee Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 32 minutes ago, Harnser said: For many years I have entered home loaded ammo on my ticket. harnser That's interesting. I entered some HMR on my ticket that the shop had forgotten and got a ####ing (in a nice way Lol) from the FEO for writing it on. I buy some stuff from lots of sources the only definitive record I have is my reloading book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old farrier Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 I enter all home loads onto my ticket and reloding log however ammunition purchases should be put on by the seller and then come off his log/ammunition register Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Best Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Reloaded C/F since 1992 and never once thought to add any to my certificate. One FLO did once mention that I didn’t buy much (any) ammo. I just said that I reloaded it all and it was never mentioned again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluesj Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 (edited) I was always told the only time you should write on your own ticket was to sign it. For reloads I just keep a log with the receipts and a pot full of old primers, not that anyone has ever asked to see them.

London Best Posted September 26, 2019 Report Share Posted September 26, 2019 Never thought to keep receipts but I have always kept my reloading book/log up to date after every batch.Not talking mega thousands of rounds as I do not shoot targets.

Lever357 Posted October 1, 2019 Report Share Posted October 1, 2019 Advice sheet that comes with certificate from the police states apart from signing your cert, you should never write on it yourself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted October 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2019 It does seem very much that it varies from force to force. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 I'd call the shop and let them know. Then write them on myself as if the shop had done it and keep quiet. The transaction was lawful so as long as a record of the transfer all tallies up from both parties I can't see as the formalities matter too much? You're not supposed to write on your own FAC but different forces have different ideas and who's to know anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CZ550Kevlar Posted November 3, 2019 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Had my Firearms officer visit to do my FAC renewal..... didn't look at my licence or check my ammo usage, renewal agreed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walker570 Posted November 3, 2019 Report Share Posted November 3, 2019 Apart from rim fire I reload for six calibres and have never ever been questioned about how many or what numbers I keep in stock, which is very few anyway, far less than if I had to buy factory. If you do write on your FAC then just sign/initial and date the entry and explain that you assumed they would appreciate you keeping a record. Difficult to argue with that.

team tractor Posted November 4, 2019 Report Share Posted November 4, 2019 The shop I use writes the bullets down besides my rounds I buy. It’s just to show I’m using ammo . If I go in without my ticket he asks ,do you want me to write it next time ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
