Gamekeepers do have their property’s searched now and then , particularly if there is a poisoned raptor found or firearms indiscretions. You can’t be too careful. I haven’t been searched but someone I know did , and they go through everything!!!! Yep that why I said it you were that inclined 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,544 Posted May 12, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2021 When i renewed mine i was cut from holding 600 and buying 500 to holding 250 and when i said there's very few rabbits about just now it was take it or leave it so i just buy 50 ever other week and fill up my cert 1 Quote Link to post

shovel leaner 7,650 Posted May 13, 2021 Report Share Posted May 13, 2021 The police are in a position where they try to limit the amount of ammunition and guns you hold because the fear them getting into the wrong hands or the certificate holder going “Raoul Moat”. In reality weather you have 200 rounds or 2000 , you are likely to have been dealt with by an armed response unit after 20 -50 shots ? But there argument is it’s them that have to deal with the situation, not you . You can’t argue really. Quote Link to post

If someone only bought a thousand rounds of .22 rimfire in five years for example, the firearms officer might think that they don’t need six hundred at a time? I recently had my .22 allowance increased, but I did have good reason and there was no problem. Quote Link to post
philpot 5,067 Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 I have 600 .22lr on my ticket and 400 .22wmr although I have just sold that rifle so won't be buying them again. Phil Quote Link to post
Baldcoot 2,352 Posted May 31, 2021 Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 400 l,r here asked for 500 to bulk buy and despite plenty of bunnies no not happening. So as an when box of 100 but a pain for us price wise. Though tbh supply is hit and miss can't always get cci seggs or Winnie subs here. Quote Link to post
The one 8,544 Posted May 31, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2021 It shouldn't make a big difference but the reason i liked buying a 500 brick of 22 ammo was it was all the same batch and it shouldn't affect the zero but buying 50 or 100 at a time they could be all different batches and affect the zero slightly 2 Quote Link to post
