M4X Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 As far as I am aware Scotish law does not specify a minimum calibre, however the following must be met for Roe: The bullet must weigh at least 50 grains AND have a minimum muzzle velocity of 2,450 feet per second AND a minimum muzzle energy of 1,000 foot pounds.
