Confusion over whether Hornady A-Max US manufactured match target shooting rounds can continue to be used for target shooting has been cleared up with help from the British Association for Shooting and Conservation (BASC).

BASC’s senior firearms officer Mike Eveleigh said: “It was important to establish the design intention as that is what matters for the law.
