Ask her for proof of this new change to the law in writing

Its b0ll0x - ask Simone next time ya see her...

The ONLY writing you can do on your own FAC is when you sign it.

I was told not to and that the only thing you should add to your FAC was your signature.

Being pedantic I do have reason to write on my own FAC from time to time however such actions are for very good reason. No S1 nor expanding ammunition that is reloaded need be entered onto your FAC if you did the reloading yourself.

She's talking through her bottom. Utter rubbish.
No need to record what you reload at all. just keep them guessing.

So a resounding nope, was wondering why the government want to know how much I load. Although on the flip side it would help me prove the amount of ammo I use if I wanted to get a variation to hold more.

Hobbesy, just keep a log of the ammunition you reload and when you shoot it and that should be proof enough.

Which begs the question, if this person is talking rubbish, why on Earth are they in that job in the first place? Obviously they don't know the licensing rules imposed on shooters.

You haven't dealt with many firearms licensing depts then, I guess.

Used to be policy round here to have FLOs that were not interested in shooting in the job.
I have even had officers ask me some of the most stupid questions, even when they have all the facts in front of them.
The best was probably; "With those M4 hand guards you can make that AR15 go full-auto!" wtfwtf
Arming the Country, one gun at a time.

Good deals with Paul101, Charlotte the flyer, majordisorder, Charlie Muggins, among others. Thanks everybody.
