With regard to the good reason, did the successful applicants have to provide evidence that they had woodland / high seat etc?
I have a .243 but am thinking of getting a .308. I have been told, on here, that I will have to provide written evidence of good reason for the larger calibre even though it is still for deer, albeit larger species.
I would have thought that the same principles apply to both duplication and larger calibre, once you have demonstrated that you go stalking you should not have to keep having to do so for every calibre change etc.
btw, I do not have a problem providing the evidence, it just seems like jumping though hoops for no good reason.
