Am I correct, I hope so?

Quick question,, magazine round limit.

I know the round limit for .22LR & .17HMR are 10 round, anything above this is restricted.

Is this the same for .308 calibre.

Have submitted a application for a .308 which has a 10 round magazine and someone was saying they thought this might need chief super sign off.

There's no limit for centrefires.

Go way ta Fuk, of course there's limits on centrefires.

There's limits on everything.

There's none for centrefires, go find one if there is.

I haven't been able to find one, hence the question.

From what I can find, it suggests that centrefires usual have a small capacity, less than 5 rounds but specifically states rimfire have a maximum of 10 rounds.
I can't find anywhere stating a maximum for centrefire rifles. See below, c.i for centrefire, c.ii for rimfire.

1. Firearms other than those to which subparagraph (2) relates are declared to be restricted firearms for the purposes of the Act:
2. This subparagraph relates to the following firearms:

      1. with a detached, folding or telescopic stock, or
      2. with a pistol grip, or

The round limits are not on the calibre as much as the action type.

• Rimfire bolt action - 10 round
• centrefire bolt action rifles - no limit
• Rimfire semi auto - up to 10 is unrestricted and over 10 restricted
• Centrefire semi auto - Restricted regardless of mag size

Slight add on to that as well.
Lever& pump action centre fire unrestricted
Lever & pump action rim fire???

Bolt action covers them. The more proper term would be repeating firearms as repeating in Irish law are:

repeating firearms” means firearms that are loaded and reloaded from a magazine or cylinder by a manually-operated mechanism
