I heard it got a mention on the 7.30 report tonight as well.

Duh
We buy all our consumables (nearly, except for self cast) from a dealer, and dealers keep records, and the records are computerised.... need I go on.

They can't keep track of what we use every outing so a purchase record means absolutely nothing
How about the 500 kg of ammo we already own?
Buyback?

Anyway, if your over just ask a friend who is under to store for you.

It's not all that long ago when there was a serious proposal to serial number all projectiles in the US.
Please remind me on how many ways are there to skin a cat.
All that is needed is for one to be flagged on the radar of the enforcement authorities and the wheels of bureaucracy will start their slow grind.

The Slime-Greens are lying to the public again with the help of the media regarding ammo limits and our representatives, and ourselves via "letters to the editor" need to push back on this. A serious IPSC shooter may expend well in excess of 10,000 rounds a year compared to the seasonal duck hunter who uses maybe 50 a year.so finding a practical limit is nigh on impossible as they determined tha last time this issue was raised.

Your dealers might record all your purchases, mine certainly don't Yet .

Are you allowed to own firearms that chamber ammo held on a collector's licence?

I'm still wondering if this is a serious question or not well if you have a firearms licence and a collectors licence for ammo..... still don't see where this is going.
So what you were saying is if I have a collectors licence and a Shooters licence and I own a 223 I'm not allowed to collect 223 ammunition ? .just asking .
