I get my powders from two sources I have dealt with them for years they don't all ways ask for my certificate. It's not a legal requirement more a cautionary measure. I don't have a problem showing my certificate when buying powder or primers.
I also have no issue with showing my FAC for the purchase of powder. In fact, if I know that I'll be visiting a gun shop in the first place then I will always carry my ticket with me quite simply because all RFD's are different in that respect.

I have never been asked for my FAC when buying powder, but some RFDs have asked for my name and address.

hi a friend of mine is a RFD and they are now being required to make notes of powder purchases, i recently went to a local shop as mine has closed down and specifically requested sight of certificate and wrote details down in a register. George Orwell

RFD now has to record batch numbers of ammo sold. Too late getting out of the EU
