Minky Posted February 2 Report Share Posted February 2 IF you are going to shoot that much lead apply for more storage capacity. Dont get yourself into a situation like this. Or dont get involved. I don't drive a racing car because I can't afford to. SIMPLE. The othe side is the cost of shooting quantities of cartridges. They aint cheap now.

Newbie to this Posted February 3 Report Share Posted February 3 9 hours ago, HantsRob said: If you know you're going to a busy comp, and you have 150 at home, but need to but some at the comp, you technically can't buy another box of 25 at the comp? Or is there a touch of legal leeway? You can buy and shoot the ammo for the comp, but you cannot remove it from the ground/club. Bisley have an amnesty box for for any leftover ammo. Ammo you buy to shoot doesn't need to be entered on your cert either. 9 hours ago, HantsRob said: Do the shops trace/audit/submit any data on what's bought? Or do they look at your licence and sell up to the max value? RFDs will sell you upto the maximum you can hold, it is the holder's responsibility not to go over limits. 9 hours ago, HantsRob said: Anything stopping you asking another shopkeeper to sell the same amount (minus a colleague noticing you)? No, other than you would be in breach of the law. 9 hours ago, HantsRob said: FAC guns need "Using" to show a purpose. How do you prove usage if you don't keep stats on what's shot? Or is this based on trust? All the clubs I shoot with require you to sign in and log which rifles you are using. This is how they inform the police of your usage when asked. Obviously there is an element of trust, as you could log anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted February 4 Report Share Posted February 4 I have followed the thread with interest. Whilst the Police don't always get it right, I am a bit surprised at the odd snide remark about them. It isn't necessary and makes the poster look a bit limited.
