Section 1 application wording

I am just doing my SGC and FAC renewal and have decided to add a Section 1 shotgun to the list.
Is there a suggested wording that I should use?
I want to be able to use it for PSG and also the ability to use on for clays for practice. I will include "slug" ammunition on te application too - any suggested working and what quantities would normally get approved - buy needs to be 250 minimum.
Off to see the local Vicar for a signature later this week.

Multi Shot shotgun for PSG/Target/Clay pigeon
As for Solid Slug, depends on your force, Durham (Cough, Spit) allow 150, if you can show sufficient usage it may be increased.

Kent also gave me 150 slug. I shoot PSG regularly, (no TSG though) but I rarely shoot slug. I can reload it anyway, works out much cheaper too!

James Harris, NRA TS Rep, has done a LOT of work on S1 SG wording on FACs. If you are a emember drop him an email.

My Slug Purchase/Hold was granted on what I asked for 300/350.
The FEO did frown a little and ask ask if I knew the cost of Slug ammunition. sign01
However when I said I had shotshell reloading kit & slug moulds and intendid to "roll my own" he was fine with the numbers :shakeshout:

Greater Manchester for me and they gave me 150 slug (hold), which is enough - looking at the cost about £16ish per 25!

Hertfordshire gave me 1000 slug buy and 1200 possess, a few years ago - I think they made a mistake :lol:
