Evening all,

Been shooting for a good while with shotguns, had my FAC almost 5 years now. Try to reload for everything I shoot, bar .22lr
Try to shoot once a week with the ‘indoor stuff’ .357, .44 Mag etc and downloads for my .303 and 7.62x54r
Every few weeks I try to take the bigger guns out, .308+ and stretch their legs. Currently mid way through some load development for my Remington 700.

Hopefully be able to share some of the things I’ve picked up along the way.

Hello and welcome
What range do you shoot at?

[Furiouspilgrim]

49th R+P club, Minsterley ranges and Bisley mostly. Also Shield Shooting centre in Dorset. Yep, I get about a bit.

hi Furiouspilgrim

did you apply to the West Midlands policing unit for your FAC? just wondering what your experience was in terms of waiting time etc. thanks in advance!

West Mids, but everything goes through Stafford now.

On the whole, they’re pretty good. My variations have taken 1-3 weeks. Initial FAC Grant was 3 months I think, but I had a holiday which held up the visit. Sometimes they need a little nudge to keep things moving.

Do you know who your FEO is?
