Hi Tony You can buy nitro powders face to face only if you are over eighteen and have a SGC/FAC, you only need an explosives cert for black powder. Black powder aquire and keep tickets are free and if you have a SGC/FAC you can have one for loading black powder cartridges and muzzle loading (loads of fun) you also need a ticket to transport explosives (Known as a POMSTER) which is also free once you get the BP cert to aquire and Keep.

The Lee Load All is a cheap, cheerfull loader that will load 12, 20, and I believe 16 gauge with the appropriate conversion kit. They usually come in the 12 gauge version out of the box. I've had mine over 20 years and for low volume loading they can't be beaten for the price.

I live in West Yorkshire a few miles from Ilkley, in fact within view of the Cow and Calf rocks on the edge of Ilkley moor (as per the song) "Ilkla Moor Baht at" I have been fishing and shooting since I was big enough to hold a gun and a rod which would have been from about 9 or 10 years old.
