Its interesting if its a true nitro ML how it could be called a specific cartridge when its really not chambered but bored?

Yep there are sect 5 exemptions for vets, stalkers and the likes BUT I think they should be 2 shot only nowadays ,ie a revolver would have all but 2 chambers welded up and a s/a would have it mag welded so to only accept 1 (2 ) rounds , there was a big case about this recently .

thrown out I believe as the law doesnt stipulate capacity only purpose, its a Plod imposed rule and not legal!

Although having read that case law is to be judged a case at a time!

Never let the truth get in the way of a good story. Anyway, it's guidance from the Home Office;

http://www.police.homeoffice.gov.uk/...df?view=Binary

For pistols and slaughtering
instruments under section 3 of the 1997 Act,
a .32 single (or two) shot pistol is suitable for
most circumstances, though larger calibres
may be considered if the applicant has to
deal regularly with large or dangerous animals
(for example, horses, water buffalo, bison,
Highland cattle or larger deer species).

It's not case law, it's one Crown Courts opinion, which should be taken on a case by case basis.

Case law is directing but not final eg two drink drives, wave goodbye to your certificate (Germaine), but there may in extremis be a reason why you wouldn't lose your certificate.
