[QUOTE="milanuk, post: 303892, member: 376"] We (the US teams) got a small taste of that - the HME bit came as kind of a shocker a year or so back whenever the change was, and we were starting to gear up for the 2009 FCWC @ Bisley. IIRC from the paperwork they sent us, there was some nonsense about having to be certified by a special HME-qualified Range Officer each time, or before the start of a competition if it was a multi-day event - sounded like a massive PITA and waste of ammunition, for sure. It was somewhere in the competitor packet that I got from them - along with the new MoD requirement as of Jan 1, 2009 that we have to have a 'certificate of competency' from a club president or other similar individual stating that we understand which end the boolits come out of, and have zeroes for our guns at the various yardages - kind of insulting when you're preparing to travel to represent your country in a world long-range rifle championship, but then I figure its more governmental B.S., just like we have here.
