I recently received my FAC back after renewal. I'd taken the opportunity to add some 7mm calibres to my permissions, for deer and target shooting. I already had empty 6.5x55 and .270Win slots, filled .243 and .308 slots.
The new certificate retains the 6.5x55 and .270Win slots along with new permissions to buy "7mm" and "7mm-08" rifles (and ammunition, including expanding.)
All good, I thought.
However, I just noticed that the conditions listed on the front of the cert, mention the .243, .308, 6.5x55 and .270Win as usuable for fox and deer, but no mention is made of the 7mm calibres.
Does this mean the new 7mm, calibres aren't cleared for deer/fox, even though "Authorised to acquire expanding ammo" includes 7mm on the next page?
The final condition (10) suggests I can buy expanding ammo for deer/vermin etc. but doesn't mention calibre.
Do you think an RFD will refuse to sell me expanding 7mm ammo?
Do you think I am OK to stalk with 7mm calibres as I do with my other rifles?
Here are pics of the relevant sections (I've blanked out serial numbers, call me paranoid!):
Thanks for any advice.
