The Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) has notified the NRA that affiliated target shooting clubs may not use 100 % lead free ammunition on Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) ranges.

 

The Defence Ordnance Safety Group (DOSG) will perform an assessment of the safety of using non-lead ammunition on No Danger Area (NDA) or Limited Danger Area (LDA) ranges.

 

This restriction applies throughout the United Kingdom and comes into immediate effect.
