That's why I don't own any semi 308 because that would mean I would have to get rid of ALL high-cap mags even if I only intend to use the high-cap for my bolt 308. Which is a bit of shame as it would be fun to have a semi 308 too.

No, that is not the case. The law merely states that a 'sporting configuration' a cat semi-auto 'must be maintained at all times in that condition'. That means that it is agin the rules to fit a high capacity magazine to it. There is no law that prevents the ownership of magazines. If you have A cat 'non semi-auto' (bolt, pump, lever) firearms that accept the high capacity mags you have, that is sufficient lawful reason to possess them.
