Buying projectiles NSW

Post by Member-Deleted » 14 Dec 2015, 8:07 pm

Hi everyone,

Can someone clarify if a licence is required to buy lead projectiles. I had a look at the Firearms Amendment act 2012 and it says individual components are not classed as ammunition.

Thanks in advance.

Thats right you can buy cases projectiles but you need to" show your licence for primers " and powder they record the sale only
at home i only lock primers and powder away rest is just metal

And loose projectiles.

Maybe they're worried someone will be able to throw them a few thousands feet per second and that's why they are "dangerous" :lol:

With the OP being a resident of NSW he needs nothing to buy projectiles or cases but needs a valid permit to purchase primers and powder as pointed out by others. The interesting part comes once projectiles are seated to produce a loaded round.

As in the seating of a bullet defines it as a 'cartridge' under NSW law even if it's empty? or only if loaded with powder and primer you mean?

Must be powder/primer that does it, not putting a bullet in a case neck.

Otherwise everyone with a one on a keyring would be getting busted.
