The NRA has received confirmation from Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) that, on UK DIO ranges, 6.5mm Creedmoor ammunition shall only be used where 8.59mm ammunition (338 Lapua Magnum) is permitted.
Following advice from Landmarc to Grove this means that 6.5 Creedmoor CAN be used at:UPDATE: 6.5 Creedmoor can now NOT be used at Barton Road

The NRA are implementing the addition of “Hand Loaded Ammunition” as a recognised certification on Shooter Certification Cards (SCC) issued from January 2024 onwards.
The NRA has developed a Code of Practice (CoP) for Hand Loading Ammunition which provides guidance for the safe preparation and use of ammunition.
To obtain hand loaded ammunition certification on an SCC, shooters need to read the CoP and complete and sign the Declaration on page 9:
NRA-Code-of-Practice-for-Handloading-Firearms-Ammunition.pdf
A declaration then remains valid indefinitely unless revoked by the club or the NRA.
NRA Members who have 4 year SCCs should email or post the signed Declaration to the membership department for inclusion on their SCC – handloadedscc@nra.org.uk
Members of affiliated clubs are required to send their signed Declaration to their Club Chairperson, who will retain the Declaration with club records and request the addition to member SCCs through the annual club renewal process.
Members attention is drawn to the wording “Downloading ammunition will not be accepted as a means to bring rounds that would otherwise exceed potential ME/MV values within limits”.
We are very sad to announce that our dedicated Club Secretary, Paul Budd, died suddenly on 9 October 2023.
Paul was our Secretary for a total of 23 years, and we have a great deal to thank him for.
Our thoughts are with Paul's family and friends at this difficult time.
We are sure that some members may like to attend Paul's funeral. We are able to share that this will take place at Shropham church in Norfolk on 7 November 2023 at 11.30 am. (No flowers please, a donation page is available at https://paulrichardbudd.muchloved.com if you would like to make a contribution).
