    You will need a lot of licences just to collect a few boxes of "various" calibers ! As a seperate licence is required to purchase or possess each caliber you are after.

    Just to be clear, if you have weird calibre shells, you need weird calibre licences to match or else you could be in trouble with the law.

    Lads read my initial post title I've posted calibers I have licences for ........ No need for the lesson I'm more than well enough aware of the licence requirements. I'm simply looking for vintage ammunition. Nothing is stopping me from keeping a few boxes in calibers I have licences for

    OP aside, I'm not sure you could even get a licence for a calibre to collect, you need to have a licence for a gun that fires it.

    That is also my interpretation. What exactly does the OP mean by rare? The implication is that however rare it might be, he nevertheless has the rifle that fires it. Hmmmmmm.
