Hi folks,

My mate is well into his clay shooting, he's got four guns, one O/U 12ga for clays and one 12ga semi he uses for game. The others are an O/U .410 and a .243.

He reckons he can have 1,000 cartridges for clays. But, for arguments sake say the other gun has a 100 cartridge ammo allowance, he's asking now can he have 1,100 in total in his possession?

I'd imagine not, as they're of the same calibre but then again what do I know

Over to the sages..

ATB,

John

If he has one 12ga with 1000 shells on the licence and another 12ga with 100 shells on the licence, then he can have a total of 1100 12ga shells. It's fairly straightforward that way.

Cheers, I would have thought he'd be limited to the 1,000. I'll let him know.
