    legalities of selling propellant powder

    Does any form of paperwork have to be shown to buy powders like Unique that are classed as a propellant as opposed the Black powder?

    Not as far as I'm aware, only for primers.

    i bought some yesterday and only my name / address and what i bought was written in a book.
    was told not all areas do this but some police force like a log to be kept by shops

    I thought the HSE were only interested in the ammount of propellent you could hold but like most statute its pretty sprawling and unclear...ish

    Incidentally, personally, I have no objection to having to show an FAC for powder and primers. At least some part of the hand loading process needs to be controlled. You cannot simply buy factory ammo off the shelf so why allow a loophole for any individual to use?
