Bullets & Cartridges

Yes. All bullets & cartridges available at Solware comply with UK ammunition regulations. Ammunition must be purchased through a Firearm Certificate (FAC) holder, and sold only to customers who have valid FACs. We ensure proper handling, secure packaging, and legal compliance in every transaction. Whether you're purchasing pellets for your air rifle or centrefire cartridges for your rifle, Solware provides accurate product descriptions and legal guidance, ensuring you can buy with confidence, safety, and peace of mind.

Choosing the right cartridges depends on calibre, purpose, and firearm type. Match your calibre exactly (e.g., .22, .308, 12-gauge) and consider bullet type (full metal jacket, soft point, hollow point) based on use—target shooting, hunting, or pest control. At Solware, our team helps you assess ballistics, grain weight, and velocity so you select the correct ammunition for your rifle for optimal performance. This ensures accuracy, safety, and consistent results in the field or range.

Safe storage is essential for ammunition. Store bullets & cartridges in a cool, dry place—ideally in a locked metal cabinet that’s not accessible to unauthorized users. Keep them separate from firearms and always out of reach of minors. Solware sells lockable ammo boxes and storage solutions designed for longevity and safety. We also recommend rotating stock and checking expiry dates periodically to maintain performance. With proper storage, your ammunition stays reliable, safe, and long-lasting.

Yes—but with legal requirements. UK law mandates that ammunition (bullets & cartridges for sale) must be delivered to your address only if you hold an appropriate FAC. At checkout, Solware verifies your FAC details. The ammunition is then shipped securely with clear labelling and tracking. This ensures both compliance and delivery safety. Should any questions arise, our team handles all necessary checks to make the process smooth and lawful from order to your door.

Accuracy isn’t just about the rifle—it’s about ammunition quality and consistency. Factors such as bullet weight (grain), cartridge manufacturing precision, and proper storage all matter. At Solware, we stock reputable brands known for tight tolerances and consistent powder loads. Whether you're using rimfire, centrefire, or shotgun shells, finger-tight uniformity and quality control help ensure each shot performs as expected. Our team can guide you toward cartridges that match your rifle and shooting goals, so you get precise, reliable results every time.
