    [QUOTE=Cordite;
    The pertinent question then is, are bullets 'ammunition'? I'd say yes, but I wonder if Police might say that only assembled bullets/cases/powder/primer is "ammunition".[/QUOTE]

    To quote Wiki “Ammunition (informally ammo) is the material fired, scattered, dropped or detonated from any weapon or weapon system. Ammunition is both expendable weapons (e.g., bombs, missiles, grenades, land mines) and the component parts of other weapons that create the effect on a target (e.g., BULLETS and warheads).[1] Nearly all mechanical weapons require some form of ammunition to operate”.

    You assume the plod thinks like you. Someone here will know what she has actually said.

    I just opened the link.! This makes me cringe a little bit for a store to scalp buyers like this. Bad enough when guys do it to each other. I get supply and demand but this just leads to everything getting cringeworthy pricing and guys buying stuff just to on sell.

    When I stopped shooting my soopadoopa tacticool 6.5mm 143gr E-L-D-X, and instead used my retarded .308 Win and cheap Speers, my deer numbers went through the roof. So work that out.

    Say E-L-D-X like a US Marine squad on a training run. Out loud. With people around. Go on, I dare you.

    E-L-D-X

    Sorry, it's been a long day. The world's gone nuts.

    I'd be measuring my new E-L-D-X by the way, because the last batch of ELD-Ms I got were way out of spec (ogive) compared to the previous ones.

    Wouldn't want to be buying a Covid Tesla that's for sure.

    I worry that other retailers look at this and get ideas.

    It's been happening in the states for a while in areas. It was only a matter of time before it happens here. I've stocked up pretty good but could definitely use some more powder and projectiles.
