This is specific to target shooting NOT zeroing on targets, so has nothing to do with hunting... I'm using non-expanding ammo ie gravel belly paper punching which was what OP was asking - or so I thought
I offered up what my FAC says to cover me for gravel belly paper punching in addition to my hunting conditions
Yes i know i was pointing out that the plod have no reason in law to require you have Insurance at a target range and the Sentence is nonsensical without a set figure you could shot a at range which has a £5m insurance your FEO decides (with no accident or incident ) that adiquate means in His Opinion £20m your now in breach of your FAC conditions based on an opinion
I was only Talking about the bit i Highlited in red and underlined
My FEO said they strongly recommend insurance for Hunting and was happy i had some but they couldnt insist
This is the HO guidance wording for the Target use condition i.e what they should use

• The *calibre *RIFLE/MUZZLE-LOADING PISTOL/REVOLVER and ammunition shall be usedfor target shooting, and only whilst a member of *club1, on ranges which are legally and safelyconstructed and maintained.

heres the Quarry Wording from HO guidance Does mention ranges now But only for zeroing (my local club said they can allow Expanding ammo for Zeroing of hunting rifles but only a max of 10 shots under their rules)
1. Quarry Shooting (for vermin, fox or deer)
• The *calibre RIFLE/COMBINATION/SMOOTH-BORE GUN/SOUND MODERATOR andammunition shall be used for shooting vermin including fox, and ground game/ deer (delete asappropriate) and any other lawful quarry, and for zeroing
