reloading in ROI
very interesting Ivan, I feel sorry for you, did not realise you had this problem over there, as to reloading in the UK everything said all ready is correct, but in Guernsey CI you cannot reload at home, take any calibre ammunition home it must all be left at the club, that was the only way they kept their pistols after the UK ban, keep your pistols but no ammo away from the range and must be purchased at the range.

The forms are likely to be somewhere on the psni website but Google found them quickly for me http://www.br-pc.co.uk/files/Powder-app.pdf

Might Guernsey CI exist under different authorty than mainland Uk ! I won't pretend to understand any of the jurisdictional legalities pertaining to the UKs many satellite principalities.
I will however knowingly omit jurisdiction that don't demonstrate the unfairness of my countries proposals.

You are correct. The Channel Islands are not part of the UK, but are Crown Dependencies like Gibraltar and the Isle of Man. As Bailiwicks, they have their own form of government, too, and both Bailiwicks have been administered separately since the late 13th century. Each has its own independent laws, elections, and representative bodies (although in modern times, politicians from the islands' legislatures are in regular contact). Any institution common to both is the exception rather than the rule.
The Channel Islands are the last vestiges of the Grand Duchy of Normandy, and as such effectively pre-date Parliamentary England. A resident of Jersey or Guernsey will happily advise you that mainland England is a colony of the Channel Islands.

The uk regulations on explosives have been amended
http://www.hse.gov.uk/explosives/
The above link will take you to the site ,surprisingly (or not) this does not seem to have been publicised much if at all.
The only other control has been the requirement to show FAC to obtain primers ,& as yet no others that I am aware of .
I did see a suggestion that the uk may introduce firearms licensing in the banding system that is used in NI/ ROI - just thought I would add that as a point of interest.

Where id you see that, please?
IMO the adoption of ANY part of the current licensing fiasco in the Republic of Ireland, that has over 600 High Court cases waiting to be processed at public expense, would be a very retrograde step.
If you really want to see empty cartridge cases classed as live ammunition, air gun pellets on a gun license and often required to be bought a hundred at a time, ALL airguns above 1 Joule m/e licensed and a separate license for each and every firearm you possess, that's up to you, but I'd rather hang on to the system that pertains in the greater part of the UK, thank you.
Add to that a bunch of stumblebum so-called experts, one of whom advised a court that a .308Win was deadly at 5 miles, and that it was just dandy to refuse a previous licensee his renewal for a .303 Lee-Enfield because it was 'too accurate' to be held by a civilian, and you can see why our OP is p!ssed off.
I am, too, which is why a couple of us have put together another reminder of the difference between common-sense and downright idiocy for the DoJ if the RoI, who, it seems, have genuine problems deternining the difference.

I can't recall exactly where I saw it but a link below shows the proposal for NI which could be used as a trial to see how it works and them implemented in the mainland

I hasten to add that this is supposition only
