If so, that's good news because the range of subsonics in hollow point is a lot more than solids!
When I first read that I though you meant range as in 'distance' rather than 'variety' lol

But yes all expanding/hollow point rifle compatible ammo is now just S1 so free to buy for people with certs :good:

As it's only "pistol" ammunition that any remaining prohibition applies to, anything called .22" Long Rifle seems to me to be well in the clear. Where are you going to find a judge, applying the ordinary meaning of words, who convicts of an offence requiring PISTOL ammunition as an essential element where the ammunition designation is RIFLE?

Just had an email from Henry Krank telling me that I can now order all my expanding bullets from them by post.
Just ordered 100 x 6mm (243) from him, at just £4 delivery. shakeshout
