A few years ago I did just that. I spoke to the Proof Master at both Birmingham and London. I got very evasive answers. Neither would say that ammunition proof was mandatory nor would they admit that is wasn't.

I am convinced that there is no UK requirement to proof ammunition. However, it is very hard to prove a negative. Which is why I've asked those that claim to know that it is mandatory to provide the appropriate legislation (whilst of course being confident that they won't be able to).

I've search the legislation too and found nothing that makes the sale of ammunition without proof unlawful.
