HO guidance 2014 Para 2.12 ( component parts for ammunition are not subject to controls) states
"There are two exceptions to this. The first is missiles for ammunition prohibited under section 5 of the 1968 Act, for example, expanding or armour-piercing bullets. Such missiles are themselves defined as ‘ammunition’ and are subject to control accordingly (see Chapter 3). "
So ordinary bullets are not subject to controls but expanding projectiles are, and should be stored accordingly.
True freedom includes the freedom to make mistakes or do foolish things and bear the consequences.
