[QUOTE="tackb, post: 390184, member: 8624"] ovastafford, there is no restriction on the purchase of 'target' bullets but any bullet classed as expanding have to be entered on your certificate in the same manner as a round of ammunition. if your not familiar with the uk licensing system it will seem totaly crazy in fact i am and it still seems crazy ! but over here we have to ask how many rounds we want to purchase in each calibre and taking a 308 for example you may only be granted 200 rds so if you buy a box of 100 expanding heads that leaves you 100 rounds left to buy and if the police come round and do a spot check and in total you have 200 and 1 rounds they can and will revoke your certificate ! oh and i choose 200 rounds because many people i know have that limit? can you imagine how difficult it is to develop a load for you rifle ? buy 100 heads , load some of them up , try them and they dont shoot? what do you do with the 70 heads you've got left because now you've used up 70 of your 200 allocation ? do you throw them away ? do you sell them ? do you just stick them in a draw with a view to trying them in another rifle one day and hope you don't get a spot check? do you see my point? how about this ? if your rifle makes less than 4500j energy it's fine but if it makes more then EVERY time you fire this on a military range you have to take a test at 200m which is recorded and records kept and then it needs to be taken again the next morning before you can shoot even if it's the same rifle, scope and ammo ? this little beauty was invented by our own NRA who have different rules for themselves by the way! this all has to be witnessed by a high muzzle energy range conducting officer of which i'm one, i still have to do it as well despite shooting for 25years. I would urge all shooters to stand together and resist any further nonsense regulations . [/QUOTE]
