Variation questions

#1 Post by Gazza »

I'm just filling in the variation form to add FAC shotgun and .17HMR and have a couple of questions.
I take it the ammunition section for the shotgun should be left blank as I will only be using birdshot?
What would be a reasonable quantity of ammunition for the .17HMR? 500?

Asking for slug if the Sec.1 shotgun was being acquired for the purpose of pigeon shooting for example might raise a few eyebrows.
So if only using birdshot it is correct that the ammunition section is left blank.

I have 5 44 BP revolvers, I could do with upping my allowance for 44 spl/mag for my under levers.
