I also have no idea what you mean by the Mr Plod reference.
Really? Point out where I am breaking the law and I will revisit my activities, but FFS dont come off high and mighty and insinuate I am doing other things wrong. I have loaded ammo for members of the police. I have enquired how to be licenced to cover my ass but no one can advise as to where or how, police included.Quote:

However I will get something in writing from the police before I continue to load anymore ammo for mates or the like.
Some recommendations in the Arms Code are not entirely backed up by the Arms Act. Whilst it is an offence under the Arms Act to supply any ammunition to someone who is not (a) the holder of a firearms licence or (b) a licensed dealer, the Arms Act makes no specific mention of reloads. However, they might be covered by another Act, such as the Hazardous Substances Transfer Regulations.Quote:

Ray.
Well put, there are a lot of things within New Zeland that are suggested under codes or principals, it is best to remember it is the acts that provide the legislative backing for prosecution etc, codes etc give guidelines for conduct but the act brings the hammer in the court. At times codes/pricipals are not aligned with acts and things can be grey. At this point it is a subjective debate that would be hard to settle other than saying it is not evident in the arms act but is seen in the arms code. I'm not aware of any court cases relating to reloaded ammo in NZ, would be an interesting read if somebody could find one, see how the judge interpretted the situationQuote:

Walks in, mutters something about "he only buys factory ammo anyway" then mutters "codes like rules are for the guidance of wisemen" then saunters off looking for another thread.

So have I before I started to reload my own, I've used a gun shop and people who advertise just such activity specificly in hunting magazines.Quote:

Mind you I haven't looked for these ads for awhile, are they still about.
I have also given away my reloads when I have moved a rifle on, loads that have been taylored for that specific rifle.
Is this illegal?
The" reloading room " in ch ch is registered or certified reloader , I'll try find out more when I pick up my loads this week .
Ask to see proof Munsey. He says he is, yet I cant for the life of me find out where or who can licence you. I will happily get licenced if there is such a thing to cover the little I do.Quote:

I'm trying to find his card and reloading data sheet he supplies , to see the wording of the" certified" reloader. He has had my rifle ,this is a repeat prescription so to speak . Don't quote me on this but have done some homework and am told you have to be registered ( labour department ) just for the purpose of holding explosives , not reloading . But the amount of powder you hold for normal reloading is well under the threshold .Quote:
