Esp with that little Alfa brought back memories wont mention what as to give antis a target. Have been toying with the idea. A good gun for gun games with another person I think. You know those sort of star shaped moving targets when you hit them. perhaps you could set up lines to try and get it across. :D

That is strange, because in NSW empty brass is not considered ammunition.

Don't ask what? We don't have spastic limits in VIC, other than what's dictate by (I forget the name), work safe or work cover or work something? That's more or less a logical safety precaution I suppose.

I don't think the worksafe limits apply to individual persons only companies. The worksafe limit on primers is 20000 I know of many people that have more than that as they like to get certain batches or all of the same batch. I am not that financial or have the need for more than a couple of thousand. Empty brass considered as ammunition is crazy, having to lock it away, realistically how can that work say you wet tumble your brass, I leave mine out in a sunny spot in the house for a week. then it goes to the reloading room to wait till I need or have the inclination to reload.

This may have been mentioned before, but in NSW air rifle pellets are considered to be ammunition for storage purposes. Go figure ?? :shock:

In qld it's not just storage . No difference between air pellets and cf ammo to purchase or possess. :drinks:

Interesting question. Not familiar with NSW regs. But my guess is that t h e regulations are "silent" on that matter. Untill u kill/shoot someone using pebbles or what ever.

Not well known but legislation does not cover every possible scenarios
