Almost 200 posts now, 12,000 views, still waiting for the official response. The excuse for the call never sounded plausible. Three plain-clothes GMP officers claiming to be from the ballistics investigation branch would know everything there is to know about fabricating ammunition. They will have seen far more sophisticated setups than your Lee starter kit. I just don't get why they've decided to pull your chain, but there's a reason behind this. It's not officiousness, and with your documentation in hand it's clearly not random.
Could it be that you're originally from NZ, have moved in from Derbyshire, tinker with and modify firearms, have recently been asking for reloading advice, posted on your marital breakup, employment difficulties, financial problems, and have contacted licensing about non-FAC matters? All of this is visible on here, so it's a possibility. There might be more explicit stuff posted elsewhere. None of it is a crime in itself, but it's a user-defined pattern of behaviour on social media which may have rung bells, and brought you to their attention. They're obviously interested in your profile enough to start checking out the domestic side.
Just a theory of mine, but this might be due to lack of thought, and carelessness on your part. People can be too open about their personal affairs at times. It's sometimes embarrassing to see the intimacy of the revelations on here, where anonymity for any of us is an illusion at best. If GMP gleaned their intelligence for the call from TSD then the site is definitely not the best place to be discussing it. I wouldn't have raised it as a topic openly, without knowing more about what really prompted the visit.
