I happily shot on a regular basis with a slow burning powder. I would need to hunt in the cuboard for the type.

I have friends in the US who do the same.

A 'certificate of non-proof' is like the 'pause' key on your computer keyboard. Meaningless.

What is the point of having a document that proves that your gun is not proofed?

Have I missed something blindingly obvious here?
