It is curious that the wording in some of the reloading bit relates to '...intent to produce unauthorised quantities...'.
The only people, as far as I'm aware, who are authorised lawfully to possess up to a certain quantity of ammunition are FAC-holders - the very people who, it is being suggested, should not be affected by the change.
As with the 'medical fees' debacle, I fear that the BASC will in the last analysis be found to lack the rigor which has time and time again been shown to be necessary when dealing with the Home Office - who, it bears repeating, are the one of the most powerful enemies of the lawful use of firearms in the UK.
Not withstanding Mr Harriman's doubtless sincerely-held view on the new 'intent' crime for unlawful reloaders ( Home Office firearms consultation explained | The British Association for Shooting and Conservation 'I can live with this proposal, as I have always thought that focusing on ammunition supply was the key to defeating the criminal use of firearms. After all, a gun without ammo is much like a car with no petrol.') it isn't clear to me that the unlawful supply of ammunition is the rate-limiting factor for armed crime any more than is the unlawful supply of firearms.

Why would this be of any use to anyone when our police forces don't stick to H.O. guidance. And BASC sit back and let them make it up as they go along. BASC need to get out of the mill and get into a court and represent its members.
