Just FYI that does not apply to any other sort of ammunition, any brass cased round whether it's rimfire or centrefire is section 1 ammunition and can't be in possession of general public without a licence and even then only a number allowed on your ticket.
Due to some idiots who they never catch the penalties for firearms offences are really serious these days for anyone who isn't likely to do anyone any harm. Of course if you're into rap music and mowing down innocent bystanders with machine pistols you can crack on, you'll probably get an ASBO. The 5 year sentences are reserved for those hardened post office robbing types who have air rifles making 12,1 ft lbs energy
(cynical, me?)
