Giving away Brass

[PointBlank]

to be honest , i think they were just arseholes lol

Ahhh well I always thought having empty brass cases was not big deal that was until last April. now many thousands of my brass cases are suposely in storage. Removed as dangerous ammunition by the Police so beware.

Taking a few empty cases to school is hardly going to cause mayhem unless some silly beggar overreacts. Why would the grandparents want to phone the police over empty cases, some people need to get out more. Now a kid with live rounds that would be an entirely different matter.

Funny thing is that my brother and young nephew called around on the week-end when I was in my play room cleaning some rifles. My nephew was full of it and didn't stop asking questions, he's five years old. I ended up giving him a dummy round after ensuring that it was O.K. with his dad but because it was a dummy with an empty primer pocket and could be mistaken for a live round I told him that he mustn't take it out of his house and mustn't take it to school under any circumstances.

Was the bullet of the expanding type?

No it was an A-Max.

in hindsight,,it shouldn't be legal! what on earth are you doing trying to entice a young adult to use a 6.5x55,,dont' you know its a terrible calibre?..

Disgraceful

I have had dozens of young lads out foxing and always give them thier first case they ever fired... two of these fellas are now men in Afghanistan and regularly keep in touch via email and all treasure thier first shot and all still have the empty case to remind them of it.

It is not illegal to own any reloading components (brass, bullets(non expanding), powder, primers, dies and press) it is only when you combine them. Although if you had all that, there may be some suspicion.

Also you will struggle to buy primers without an FAC.

Kindly tell that to the Lincolnshire Police. As they took even cast bullets, my supply of cases, Non expanding FMJ's nd target HP's (Sierra Match) plus they had the RAF Bomb squad in to take and destroy my stock of dangerous explosives (Handloading powders of which I had just re-stocked at the Newark show) even my Re-curve bow and a US Pattern 1917 bayonet, spare wooden stocks and butts some books such as Ackleys handbook Vol 2.

None of which I had seen since and it seems am not allowed access too.

So as I said be careful because you cannot trust them to have common sense nor abide by the law.

Ah, now here's a good 'un.....

A non FAC air rifle shooting mate noticed a few empty HMR cases in my car and asked if he could take a few. Not thinking anything of it I said "help yourself"
The next time I saw him he told me this story;

Remember those bullet cases you gave me?.... err yes
Well I gave them to Edward (his girlfriend's son) and he went to stay with his grandparents, who found the brass cases in his pocket. They questioned Edward and he told them "Chris gave them to me"
They asked where he got them from? and he said that Chris has an air-gun in the loft. But Grandad knew these were definately not for an airgun.
They spent an agonising week thinking the worst of Julie's boyfriend, because they knew he hasn't got a FAC. And when they eventually spoke to Julie about it she assured them that Chris's mate let him have them.

Pheww what a relief, but at one point they considered calling the police

So be careful, giving cases to young'uns,, they could take them to school to show off and cause mayhem.

Hilarious!

Now I am going to be silly to comply with H&S regulations you could not give the cases to him because they are classed as waste and he would require a waste operators licence to remove them from the premises. See I told you it was silly.

I am aware of your position Brit and I really feel for you, I would love to help you with your situation but I don't think I have the funds or the knowledge to tackle your constabulary.
