No. VCR Act.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Primers can be shipped but must be transported by courier. Henry Krank charges £25 but I would guess that you may need an account with the courier.

If you have a rifle that will accept them then just load up and "pop em" :good:

I suppose you still don't have the answer!
It is yes, primed cases are illegal to post as it is classed by the Law as loaded. Don't ask my why, I asked the same question and found out the answer from my local dealer.

You local dealer was likely giving you a shorthand version to answer to the question, but primed cases are not classed as loaded/complete rounds in either legislation or guidance documentation. Its simply the presence of the primers which prevent them being posted.

I think this might be referring back to a court case where primed cases were considered by the court as ammunition and therefore illegal to have in a public place without good reason.

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